Endocannabinoid receptor blockade increases vascular endothelial growth factor and inflammatory markers in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]
© 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Context: Animal studies suggest that cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB-1) blockade reduces inflammation and neovascularization by decreasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels associated with a reduction in ...

Structure–Effect Relationships of Novel Semi-Synthetic Cannabinoid Derivatives
Background: As a library of cannabinoid (CB) derivatives with (-)-trans-cannabidiol (CBD) or (-)-trans-cannabidivarin (CBDV) scaffold, we synthesized nine novel cannabinoids: 2-hydroxyethyl cannabidiolate (2-HEC), 2-hydroxypentyl cannabidiolate (2-HPC ...

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Protein kinase B controls transcriptional programs that direct cytotoxic T cell fate but is dispensable for T cell metabolism [PDF]
SummaryIn cytotoxic T cells (CTL), Akt, also known as protein kinase B, is activated by the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and the cytokine interleukin 2 (IL-2). Akt can control cell metabolism in many cell types but whether this role is important for CTL

Interleukin-22 and keratinocytes; pathogenic implications in skin inflammation
Interleukin (IL)-22 is produced from immune cells such as T helper (Th)22 cells, Th17/22 cells, and group 3 innate lymphoid cells. IL-22 signals via the IL-22 receptor 1 (IL-22R1) and the IL-10 receptor 2 (IL-10R2).

Optimal personalized therapies in colon-cancer induced immune response using a Fokker-Planck framework [PDF]
In this paper, a new stochastic framework to determine optimal combination therapies in colon cancer-induced immune response is presented. The dynamics of colon cancer is described through an It\"o stochastic process, whose probability density function evolution is governed by the Fokker-Planck equation.

Soluble pIasma IL-2 receptors and maIaria
SUMMARYPIasma levels of soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) were measured by immunoassay in 180 individuals, aged 1–70 years, living in a maIaria-endemic community in West Africa. slL-2R levels were compared with age. maIaria parasitacmia. maIaria-associated morbidity and cellular immune responses to PIasmodium falciparum antigens.

Role of IL-33 in inflammation and disease [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-33 is a new member of the IL-1 superfamily of cytokines that is expressed by mainly stromal cells, such as epithelial and endothelial cells, and its expression is upregulated following pro-inflammatory stimulation.

Although dendritic cell (DC) dysfunction in cancer is a well-recognized consequence of cancer-associated inflammation that contributes to immune evasion, the mechanisms that drive this process remain elusive.
