Effects of histamine on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts under simulated orthodontic pressure.
As type-I-allergies show an increasing prevalence in the general populace, orthodontic patients may also be affected by histamine release during treatment.

Compared to healthy controls, children with food‐sensitized tolerance and food allergy showed reduced fecal short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate. In an ovalbumin‐sensitized mouse model, butyrate outperformed other SCFAs in alleviating allergic responses.

Changes in mast cells and in permeability of mesenteric microvessels under the effect of immobilization and electrostimulation [PDF]
It was shown that a reduction in the amount of mast cells in the mesentery and an increase in their degranulation was accompanied by an increase in vascular permeability of rat mesentery.

Anti-allergic effects of Marmin, a coumarine isolated from Aegle marmelos Correa: In vitro study [PDF]
Marmin or (7-(6’,7’-dihydroxygeranyl-oxy)coumarin is an active compound isolated from Aegle marmelos Correa. The study aimed to investigate the effects of marmin on the histamine release from rat mast cell. The study was performed by using rat basophilic

Drosophila tan Encodes a Novel Hydrolase Required in Pigmentation and Vision [PDF]
Many proteins are used repeatedly in development, but usually the function of the protein is similar in the different contexts. Here we report that the classical Drosophila melanogaster locus tan encodes a novel enzyme required for two very different ...

Engineered strategies for the allergic disease therapy
Allergic diseases exist widely across the globe and now there are very limited therapeutics for the treatment of these diseases. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in engineering strategies including nanoemulsion and hydrogel to improve the therapeutic efficacy of allergen‐specific immunotherapy with decreased side effects and long‐term ...

Rolling Release Siege Engines: Teaching an Old Machine a New Trick [PDF]
The analysis of a new "rolling release" mechanism is presented for three different "siege engine" designs. The range obtained with the rolling release is compared to the ranges obtained using the simpler "cup" and the proven "sling" release mechanisms. It is found that the rolling release is a significant improvement over the cup release, but the range

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

Modeling and Analyzing Release Trajectory based on the Process of Issue Tracking [PDF]
Software release development process, that we refer to as "release trajectory", involves development activities that are usually sorted in different categories, such as incorporating new features, improving software, or fixing bugs, and associated to "issues". Release trajectory management is a difficult and crucial task.
