Docosahexaenoic fatty acid reduces the pro‐inflammatory response induced by IL-1β in astrocytes through inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor activation

BMC Neuroscience, 2021
Background Astrocytes are responsible for a broad range of functions that maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, their response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines released by activated microglia in various neurological pathologies may exacerbate ...

Cell-to-Cell Communication During Plant-Pathogen Interaction

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Being sessile, plants are continuously challenged by changes in their surrounding environment and must survive and defend themselves against a multitude of pathogens.

Communicator Extraordinaire: Extracellular Vesicles in the Tumor Microenvironment Are Essential Local and Long-Distance Mediators of Cancer Metastasis

Biomedicines, 2023
Human tumors are increasingly being described as a complex “ecosystem”, that includes many different cell types, secreted growth factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and microvessels, that altogether create the tumor microenvironment (TME ...

Loss of fiber cell communication may contribute to the development of cataracts of many different etiologies

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The lens is an avascular organ that is supported by an internal circulation of water and solutes. This circulation is driven by ion pumps, channels and transporters in epithelial cells and by ion channels in fiber cells and is maintained by fiber-fiber ...

Bacterial biofilms and infections

Журнал инфектологии, 2014
It is now a common perception that the vast majority of bacterial life in nature is found in surface-bound communities called biofilms rather than in isolated planktonic cells.

Downregulation of stromal syntenin sustains AML development

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023
The crosstalk between cancer and stromal cells plays a critical role in tumor progression. Syntenin is a small scaffold protein involved in the regulation of intercellular communication that is emerging as a target for cancer therapy.

Exosomal miRNA: an alternative mediator of cell-to-cell communication [PDF]

ExRNA, 2019
Mounting evidence show that miRNAs are loaded into exosomes and secreted by almost all types of cells. miRNAs are selectively sorted into exosomes, and transferred to recipient cells, where they manipulate cell function.

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Inhibits FADS2 Expression in Astrocytes but Increases Survival of Neurons Co-cultured with DHA-enriched Astrocytes [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, 2019
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the most abundant n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3PUFA) in the brain, has attracted great importance for a variety of neuronal functions such as signal transduction through plasma membranes, neuronal plasticity, and ...

Plasmodesmata ‘in communicado’

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular life. For this to occur effectively there must be pathways and dynamic networks for communication. These might depend upon electrical or chemical signals or the mass transfer of molecules between

The multiple faces of extracellular vesicles released by microglia: Where are we 10 years after?

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
As resident component of the innate immunity in the central nervous system (CNS), microglia are key players in pathology. However, they also exert fundamental roles in brain development and homeostasis maintenance.
