Matrix Degradation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Associated Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome: A Prospective Observational Study. [PDF]
Background: Extensive immunopathology occurs in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/tuberculosis (TB) coinfection, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-defined. Excessive matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is emerging as a key process

Bioactive food components and their inhibitory actions in multiple platelet pathways
A comprehensive overview of platelet multifunctional roles in CVD and other diseases and the effects of food components' modulatory effects are described. Abstract In addition to hemostasis and thrombosis, blood platelets are involved in various processes such as inflammation, infection, immunobiology, cancer metastasis, wound repair and angiogenesis ...

Advancements in left ventricular assist devices to prevent pump thrombosis and blood coagulopathy
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)‐related blood coagulopathy: Pump thrombosis is one of the most severe adverse events caused by LVADs. The contact of blood with artificial materials of LVAD pumps and cannulas triggers the coagulation cascade. Abstract Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are

In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.

A network-based biomarkers discovery of Cold/Hot ZHENG chronic gastritis and Cold/Hot herbs of formulae [PDF]
Objective: To discover biomarkers and uncover the mechanism of Cold/Hot ZHENG (syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine) chronic gastritis (CG) and Cold/Hot herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulae on systematic biology. Background: CG is a common inflammatory disease and the diagnosis of CG in TCM can be classified into Cold ZHENG ...
