Cortisol Exerts bi-phasic Regulation of Inflammation in Humans

Dose-Response, 2011
Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for decades to suppress inflammation. In this paper, we re-examine the role of the endogenous GC, cortisol, as a primary homeostatic regulator of the human inflammatory response to injury.

Comparison of two prepill cortisol concentrations in dogs with hypercortisolism treated with trilostane

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background The ideal method for monitoring trilostane therapy in dogs with hypercortisolism is still open to debate. Recently, determination of the pre-trilostane (prepill) cortisol concentration has been proposed to be more repeatable than either post ...

A Dual‐Responsive Versatile Nanohybrid Orchestrating Tumor Elimination and Tumor‐Associated Osteolysis Restoration via Sequential Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The versatile CaO2@CuMOF@HAP nanohybrid demonstrates an outstanding MMP9/pH‐triggered release performance for sequential release of osteogenic growth peptide into deep‐seated tumor‐infiltrated bone destruction areas and dual ions into tumor cells, enabling efficient tumor‐associated osteolysis restoration and tumor elimination for more comprehensive ...

Dysregulation of Oral Microbial Eicosapentaenoic Acid Induced by Chronic Restraint Stress Exacerbates Periodontitis via M1 Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intricate interplay between chronic psychological stress and periodontitis, mediated by oral microbiota and macrophage polarization, remains largely enigmatic. Here, we demonstrate that chronic restraint stress (CRS) exacerbates periodontitis by inducing oral microbial dysbiosis and a consequential shift in host metabolism.

Redefining the Diagnostic Approach to Adrenal Insufficiency: Re-Assessment of Baseline and Cortisol Increment Cut-Offs with the 1 µg Synacthen Test

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is an endocrine disorder characterized by inadequate cortisol production, leading to non-specific symptoms that delay diagnosis. The Low Dose Synacthen Test (LDST) is commonly used to evaluate adrenal

Promoter Hypermethylation‐Induced Silencing of FXYD1 Drives Breast Cancer Metastasis via DDX5‐Mediated Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies FXYD1 as an epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor in breast cancer. DNA methylation turns off the gene FXYD1 in breast cancer, and low levels predict worse outcomes. Restoring FXYD1 limits breast cancer cells proliferation and metastasis. In the nucleus, FXYD1 recruits the E3 ligase MAEA to K63‐ubiquitinate DDX5 for proteasomal

Urine cortisol in pigs of different MH-genotypes

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2003
Urine cortisol concentration was evaluated in German Landrace barrows of two MH-genotypes (NN, Nn) housed in metabolic cages. Furthermore, cortisol in urine was evaluated as a substitute measure of plasma cortisol values in pigs.

Highly Biomimetic Ectodermal Epithelial Organoids for Epithelial Barrier Stimulation Assays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evaluating the potential toxicity of pharmaceuticals and biomaterials to ectodermal epithelia, such as the oral mucosa and skin, is indispensable in pre‐clinical assessments. However, this remains a challenge primarily owing to the lack of physiologically relevant and accurate screening models.

Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles Enable Light‐Controlled Bidirectional Modulation of Nitric Oxide in Endothelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bimodal modulation of nitric oxide in endothelial cells is achieved by light‐sensitive polymer nanoparticles. In dark, P3HT/PEDOT:PSS NPs boost intracellular ·NO, upregulate both endothelial and induced nitric oxide synthase, and drive a metabolic shift toward glycolysis.

Understanding Glioblastoma Dynamics Using 3D Organoids and Engineered Extracellular Matrix

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A modular in vitro glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) model combining patient‐derived glioma stem‐like cells (GSC) organoid with an engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) and endothelial co‐culture enhances differentiation and GBM associated gene expression.
