CXCL10 Promotes Spinal Macrophage Recruitment via the JAK/STAT3 Pathway to Induce Pain in Experimental Autoimmune Prostatitis. [PDF]
The CXCL10/CXCR3 axis was involved in spinal macrophage infiltration through activating the JAK/STAT3 pathway. The prostate NGF/TrKA axis was involved in the neuroinflammation and pain in chronic prostatitis, and inhibition of NGF could attenuate pain response in chronic prostatitis, which provided novel therapeutic targets for pain treatment in ...

Abstract figure legend Acute and chronic stress exert wide‐ranging effects across the gut–brain axis. In the case of acute stress, the enteric nervous system may be activated and gut contractility modified. This is associated with altered serotonin metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract as well as activation of the innate immune system and ...

Contemporary Concise Review 2022: Interstitial lung disease
SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Novel genetic associations for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) risk have been identified. Common genetic variants associated with IPF are also associated with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The characterization of underlying mechanisms, such as pathways involved in myofibroblast differentiation, may reveal targets for ...
