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

Memorias 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.

Targeting Tumor Dormancy and Recurrence: Molecular Mechanisms and Peptide Therapeutic Delivery

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms that regulate tumor dormancy and its role in cancer recurrence, with emphasis on immune evasion, extracellular matrix remodeling, metabolic regulation and angiogenic switching. It further discusses emerging peptide–based therapeutic strategies aimed at detecting, modulating, and eliminating dormant tumor ...

Truncated FOS impairs osteogenic differentiation and induces prostaglandin and NFκB signalling in an in vitro cell‐of‐origin model for osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 268, Issue 3, Page 263-275, March 2026.
Abstract Osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma are non‐malignant bone‐forming tumours of the skeleton, characterised by the presence of irregular trabeculae of woven bone. Rearrangements in FOS, and less frequently FOSB, have recently been identified in osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines and CXC chemokines as game-changer in age-associated prostate cancer and ovarian cancer: Insights from preclinical and clinical studies' outcomes

Pharmacological Research
Prostate cancer (PC) and Ovarian cancer (OC) are two of the most common types of cancer that affect the reproductive systems of older men and women. These cancers are associated with a poor quality of life among the aged population.

Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 372-379, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. Recent studies have highlighted the multifaceted roles of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) both as innate defenders against microbial invasion and as regulators of immune responses and skin barrier ...

Comparison Between Phenotypic Profile and Functional Aspects of IL‐9‐Producing Lymphocytes, Th17 and Tfh of Individuals From Endemic and Non‐Endemic Areas for Hookworm Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hookworm infections remain a major public health concern in endemic areas, modulating both the adaptive and innate immune systems. While the type 2 response is well‐characterised, the roles of T follicular helper (Tfh), Th17, and IL‐9‐producing lymphocytes remain poorly defined.

Chemokines and Their Role in Parasitic Diseases

European Journal of Inflammation, 2004
Chemotactic cytokines (chemokines), the intercellular mediators, produced and released by a wide variety of cell types, are a group of small secreted proteins (8–10 KDa), which mediate host response to invading organisms (viruses, bacteria, parasites ...

CXC chemokine receptor type 5 may induce trophoblast dysfunction and participate in the processes of unexplained missed abortion, wherein p-ERK and interleukin-6 may be involved

Heliyon
Chemokines regulate the trophoblast dysfunction involved in the occurrence and development of pathological pregnancy, including missed abortions. In particular, CXC chemokine receptor type 5 mediates cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation ...

Expression of IP-10 Chemokine is Regulated by Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Hepatocytes

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2007
Chemokines are classified in four distinct groups as CXC, CC, CX3C and C, depending on the presence or absence of a motif called ELR (Arg-Leu-Glu) before the first cysteine residue in their structure. CXC chemokines are also subdivided into ELR+ and ELR-.
