Interstitium‐Mimicking Porous Alveolar Membranes Enable Physiologic Aerosol Transport and Distinct Acute‐Chronic Lung Injury Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An interstitium‐mimicking membrane combines three‐dimensional alveolar geometry, high pore interconnectivity, and mechanical compliance to overcome transport limitations of conventional lung‐on‐chip barriers. The resulting platform supports physiologic aerosol transport, quantitative analysis of cross‐barrier particle movement, and reveals divergent ...

Genomic organization, annotation, and ligand-receptor inferences of chicken chemokines and chemokine receptor genes based on comparative genomics

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2005
Background Chemokines and their receptors play important roles in host defense, organogenesis, hematopoiesis, and neuronal communication. Forty-two chemokines and 19 cognate receptors have been found in the human genome.

Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Interleukin 10 inhibits the release of CC chemokines during human endotoxemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Sixteen healthy subjects were intravenously injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), once with placebo and once with recombinant human interleukin (IL)-10 (25 microgram/kg), to determine the effect of IL-10 on LPS-induced production of macrophage ...

Corneal and Conjunctival Fibroblasts Are Major Sources of Eosinophil-Recruiting Chemokines

open access: yesAllergology International, 2009
Background: Differential expression of chemokine genes were investigated in various types of ocular surface cells. Methods: Primary cultures of human corneal epithelial cells (n = 3), corneal fibroblasts (n = 2), conjunctival epithelial cells (n = 2) and

A decline in CCL3-5 chemokine gene expression during primary simian-human immunodeficiency virus infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
The CC-chemokines CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5 have been found to block the entry of CCR5-tropic HIV into host cells and to suppress the viral replication in vitro, but the in vivo role of endogenous CC-chemokines in HIV-1 infection is still incompletely ...

Infusible Extracellular Matrix Biomaterial Enhances Cell‐Specific Pro‐Repair Responses Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...

Identification of six novel CC chemokines in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) implicated in the antiviral immune response

open access: yes, 2010
9 páginas, 6 figuras, 3 tablasChemokines are key regulators of migration and consequent activation of migrating leukocytes. CC chemokines constitute the largest chemokine group with 24–28 members in mammalian species, and even more in teleost fish, with ...

The role of chemokines in Schistosoma mansoni infection: insights from human disease and murine models

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
Chemokines are a superfamily of low-molecular-weight cytokines that were initially described for their chemoattractant activity. It is now clear chemokines have several other activities that modulate immune processes.
