Immunological relationships during primary infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematospiroides dubius): downregulation of specific cytokine secretion (IL-9 and IL-10) correlates with poor mastocytosis and chronic survival of adult worms [PDF]
Mice were infected either with Trichinella spiralis (day 0), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (day -14) or concurrently with both species and were killed in groups, together with naive control mice, on 2 occasions (day 8 and 15 post infection with T.

ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a prevalent global health concern. This study scrutinized the influence of Astragaloside IV (ASI) on DSS‐induced UC, with particular emphasis on the role of WDR5 in mediating ENO1 expression. The therapeutic efficacy of ASI was assessed in a mouse model of UC by evaluating disease activity index, pathology ...

Effect of cholesterol nucleation-promoting activity on cholesterol solubilization in model bile.
Human bile contains a factor with cholesterol nucleation-promoting activity that binds to concanavalin A-Sepharose. In this study we have investigated the effect of this activity on the dynamics of lipid solubilization in supersaturated model bile.

Glucose‐Responsive Modified Poly(Propylene Imine) Dendrimer for Self‐Regulated Insulin Delivery
Poly(propylene imine) dendrimers functionalized with phenolboronic acid (PBA) are synthesized and modified to develop a glucose‐sensitive system with a pKa of ∼7.4. Also, the equilibrium binding constant (Keq‐tet) for PBA‐attached G4 dendrimer (HB‐CBA) was determined to be 79 m−1.

A vaccine formulated with the major outer membrane protein can protect C3H/HeN, a highly susceptible strain of mice, from a Chlamydia muridarum genital challenge. [PDF]
C3H/HeN female mice were vaccinated with native Chlamydia muridarum major outer membrane protein (MOMP), using Montanide+CpG or Alum+CpG as adjuvants. Negative control groups were immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) and the same adjuvants. As positive control,
