Maternal Dietary Inflammatory Index and Biomarkers of Inflammation at Birth

open access: yesMaternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the association between the inflammatory potential of the maternal diet during pregnancy and levels of inflammatory biomarkers measured in cord blood and maternal serum at birth. Dietary inflammatory potential was calculated using the energy‐adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E‐DII) in the French EDEN and ELFE birth cohorts ...

Antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and recombinant human mannose-binding lectin express distinct age- and pathogen-specific antimicrobial activity in human newborn cord blood in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: There is a need to prevent and treat infection in newborns. One approach is administration of antimicrobial proteins and peptides (APPs) such as LL-37, a membrane-active cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, and mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a ...

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

A Paradigm of Translational Medicine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, cationic, amphiphilic peptides with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against both bacteria and fungi. In mammals, AMPs form the first line of host defense against infections and generally play an important ...

Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.

Advances in the Role of Adipose Tissue in Promoting Injury Repair and Resist Infection

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In recent years, adipose tissue (AT) transplantation has increasingly been noticed by many people in the field of tissue repair and regeneration. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that AT exerts dual functions in promoting tissue repair and conferring anti‐infective properties, with distinct biological effects attributed to its ...
