Features of cytokine signaling forming T-helper immune response in COPD of varying severity
Introduction — Currently, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global public health problem. However, molecular mechanisms of the development of this pathology are still poorly understood.

Cytokine signaling: Inhibitors keep cytokines in check [PDF]
AbstractSome members of the CIS/SOCS/JAB/SSI family have been demonstrated to be cytokine-inducible inhibitors of cytokine signaling. Steps have now been made towards clarifying the biological function of two of these proteins, revealing that these inhibitors are essential for the correct maintenance of cytokine signaling.

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Mapping Determinants of Cytokine Signaling via Protein Engineering
Cytokines comprise a large family of secreted ligands that are critical for the regulation of immune homeostasis. Cytokines initiate signaling via dimerization or oligomerization of the cognate receptor subunits, triggering the activation of the Janus ...

Genome engineering of stem cells for autonomously regulated, closed-loop delivery of biologic drugs [PDF]
Chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis are characterized by dysregulated responses to pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Induction of peripheral tolerance in ongoing autoimmune inflammation requires interleukin 27 signaling in dendritic cells [PDF]
Peripheral tolerance to autoantigens is induced via suppression of self-reactive lymphocytes, stimulation of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T (Treg) cells.

Cytokine Regulation of AMPK signalling
The dynamic control of energy metabolism is dependent on balancing energy demand with energy supply. In mammals this balance is maintained through the integration of many different cytokine signals that communicate the nutrient status of the organism to the hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle. Adipose tissue and resident macrophages secrete many of
