Concentration of CCL11, CXCL8 and TNF-alpha in sputum and plasma of patients undergoing asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common respiratory illnesses characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways. The characterization of induced or spontaneously produced sputum is a useful technique to assess airway ...

Structural insights into tyrosine sulfation of CCR5 by human tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase‐1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Structural analysis of human tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase‐1 (hTPST1) bound to a CCR5 N‐terminal peptide reveals how hTPST1 recognizes the Tyr3 sulfation site. Structure‐guided models of additional CCR5 sulfation states and full‐length assemblies provide a framework for understanding CCR5 tyrosine sulfation, a post‐translational modification relevant

Combating ageing beyond the cell: Emerging roles of extracellular proteostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ageing challenges the body's ability to maintain a stable and functional proteome, leading to protein damage and aggregation both inside and outside cells. This review focuses on the less well understood mechanisms of extracellular protein quality control and how they become disrupted in ageing, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases.

Tocilizumab for severe and refractory mucous membrane pemphigoid

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Elevated IL‐6 levels identified in mucous membrane pemphigoid support IL‐6 blockade, with tocilizumab demonstrating clinical benefit in nine patients with severe and refractory mucous membrane pemphigoid. Abstract Background Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease involving mucous membranes with a potentially ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Inflammation and mechanical force‐induced bone remodeling

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis arises from imbalanced host–microbe interactions, leading to dysbiosis and destructive inflammation. The host's innate and adaptive immune responses produce pro‐inflammatory mediators that stimulate destructive events, which cause loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment.

Senolytics and exercise: Dual modalities for rejuvenating muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The role of senolytics on the heart and skeletal muscle. Senescent cell burden increases with ageing, disuse and disease. The senolytics dasatinib+quercetin (D+Q), navitoclax and fisetin, as well as exercise, eliminate senescent cells, reducing senescent cell burden and their senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP ...
