Activated cytotoxic T cells within zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 95-104, September 2019., 2019
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of cytotoxic cells on the outcome of the Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) due to infection by Leishmania major. We demonstrated the presence of cytotoxic T lymphocytes expressing high levels of granzyme B and granulysine within ZCL lesions comparing to healthy skin.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived and Cultured from Glioblastoma Multiforme Increase Tregs, Downregulate Th17, and Induce the Tolerogenic Phenotype of Monocyte‐Derived Cells

Stem Cells International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunosuppressive properties and have been described in the tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This manuscript has two major topics—first, to describe isolated and cultured MSCs derived from GBM (GB‐MSCs) and second, to examine their in vitro immunosuppressive capacity.

Lycium barbarum Reduces Abdominal Fat and Improves Lipid Profile and Antioxidant Status in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Natural antioxidants present in fruits have attracted considerable interest due to their presumed safety and potential nutritional value. Even though antioxidant activities of many fruits have been reported, the effects of phytochemicals of goji berry (GB) in patients with metabolic syndrome have not been investigated.

Evaluation of rK39 rapid diagnostic tests for canine visceral leishmaniasis : longitudinal study and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Canine visceral leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease caused by the intracellular parasite Leishmania infantum. It is an important veterinary disease, and dogs are also the main animal reservoir for human infection.

The Serum Concentrations of Chemokine CXCL12 and Its Specific Receptor CXCR4 in Patients with Esophageal Cancer

Disease Markers, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Objectives. Recent investigations have suggested that upregulated levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as chemokines, may be associated with development of many malignancies, including esophageal cancer (EC). Based on our knowledge, this study is the first to assess the serum concentration of chemokine CXCL12 and its specific receptor CXCR4 in the ...

Development of Pathological Diagnostics of Human Kidney Cancer by Multiple Staining Using New Fluorescent Fluolid Dyes

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
New fluorescent Fluolid dyes have advantages over others such as stability against heat, dryness, and excess light. Here, we performed simultaneous immunostaining of renal tumors, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, acquired cystic disease‐associated RCC (ACD‐RCC), and renal angiomyolipoma (AML), with primary ...

A simple technique for flat osmicating and flat embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections of the rat spinal cord for light and electron microscopy [PDF]

, 1996
We describe here a simple technique for flat-osmicating and flat-embedding of immunolabelled vibratome sections. The technique is particularly useful for large specimens such as whole cross-sections of rat spinal cord.
