Basal and PGF2α-stimulated secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from 3T3-L1 adipocyte-like cells [PDF]
Adipocytes were recently identified as an important source of endocrine and paracrine mediators, regulating the metabolism and activity of various cell types and body functions. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes are useful model for physiological, pharmacological and

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are lipid mediators derived from poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which have been demonstrated to have an important role in the inflammation environment, preventing an overreaction of the organism and ...

Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Cell Death and Inflammation
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as novel mediators of intercellular communication. They work via delivering the sequestered cargo to cells in the close vicinity, as well as distant sites in the body, regulating pathophysiological ...

Mast cells as the strength of the inflammatory process
The inflammatory process is a complex host defence mechanism aimed at the elimination of deleterious factors disturbing homeostasis. Inflammation consists of several interdependent stages controlled by a wide range of mediators. Those include acute phase

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Non-inflammatory Physiology of “Inflammatory” Mediators – Unalamation, a New Paradigm
Many small molecules (mostly lipids derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids) and proteins (e. g., cytokines and chemokines) are labeled as inflammatory mediators for their role in eliciting physiological responses to injury.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Resolution of Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases: The Role of Resolvins
Acute inflammation has been described as a reactive dynamic process, promoted by the secretion of proinflammatory mediators, including lipid molecules like leukotrienes and prostaglandins, and counterbalanced by proresolving mediators including omega-3 ...
