Role of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns in Septic Acute Kidney Injury, From Injury to Recovery
Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are a group of immunostimulatory molecules, which take part in inflammatory response after tissue injury. Kidney-specific DAMPs include Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, crystals, and uromodulin, released by tubular

Trial watch: dendritic cell vaccination for cancer immunotherapy
Dendritic- cells (DCs) have received considerable attention as potential targets for the development of anticancer vaccines. DC-based anticancer vaccination relies on patient-derived DCs pulsed with a source of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) in the ...

BackgroundImmunogenic cell death (ICD)-mediated immune response provides a strong rationale to overcome immune evasion in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ICD will produce damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in tumor microenvironment. However,

The major goal of radiotherapy is the induction of tumor cell death. Additionally, radiotherapy can function as in situ cancer vaccination by exposing tumor antigens and providing adjuvants for anti-tumor immune priming. In this regard, the mode of tumor

Combined Cyclosporin A and Hypothermia Treatment Inhibits Activation of BV-2 Microglia but Induces an Inflammatory Response in an Ischemia/Reperfusion Hippocampal Slice Culture Model [PDF]
Introduction: Hypothermia attenuates cerebral ischemia-induced neuronal cell death associated with neuroinflammation. The calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporin A (CsA) has been shown to be neuroprotective by minimizing activation of inflammatory pathways.

Infectious disease remains a substantial cause of death. To overcome this issue, mucosal vaccine systems are considered to be a promising strategy. Yet, none are approved for clinical use, except for live-attenuated mucosal vaccines, mainly owing to the ...

Plant–Plant Communication: Is There a Role for Volatile Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns?
Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are an ancient form of tissue-derived danger or alarm signals that initiate cellular signaling cascades, which often initiate defined defense responses.

Chapter 6 The term damping is used to describe the means by which oscillation amplitudes are reduced through irreversible removal of vibratory energy in a mechanical system or a component. Dissipation, on the other hand, refers to the mechanism by which irreversible energy transfer, from vibratory to thermal, takes place.
