Effect of Cordyceps sinensis on the Treatment of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: A Pilot Study on Mice Model

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Background: As a traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps sinensis (CS) possesses a variety of immunoregulatory properties. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of CS in a mice model of multiple sclerosis (MS)-experimental autoimmune ...

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Fasudil-modified macrophages reduce inflammation and regulate the immune response in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Neural Regeneration Research
[INLINE:1] Multiple sclerosis is characterized by demyelination and neuronal loss caused by inflammatory cell activation and infiltration into the central nervous system. Macrophage polarization plays an important role in the pathogenesis of experimental

Macrophage CD40 signaling drives experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]

The Journal of Pathology, 2019
AbstractThe costimulatory CD40L–CD40 dyad plays a major role in multiple sclerosis (MS). CD40 is highly expressed on MHCII+ B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages in human MS lesions. Here we investigated the role of the CD40 downstream signaling intermediates TNF receptor‐associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and TRAF6 in MHCII+ cells in experimental ...

Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Alleviation of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in C57BL/6 mice by Soy Daidzein [PDF]

, 2014
Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is considered as the murine model of multiple sclerosis. Daidzein a phytostrogenic compound of soy is known to impose immunomodulatory and antioxidative effects.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

R‐flurbiprofen attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2014
R‐flurbiprofen is the non‐cyclooxygenase inhibiting R‐enantiomer of the non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug flurbiprofen, which was assessed as a remedy for Alzheimer's disease.

Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.
