Cytokine profile in childhood asthma
Childhood asthma is a chronic airway disease, which pathogenesis is markedly heterogeneous–with multiple phenotypes defining visible characteristics and endotypes defining molecular mechanisms.

Microglial Pro-Inflammatory and Anti-Inflammatory Phenotypes Are Modulated by Translocator Protein Activation [PDF]
A key role of the mitochondrial Translocator Protein 18 KDa (TSPO) in neuroinflammation has been recently proposed. However, little is known about TSPO-activated pathways underlying the modulation of reactive microglia. In the present work, the TSPO activation was explored in an in vitro human primary microglia model (immortalized C20 cells) under ...

The allograft inflammatory factor‐1 family of proteins [PDF]
The allograft inflammatory factor‐1 (AIF‐1) is a 17 kDa interferon‐γ‐inducible Ca2+‐binding EF‐hand protein that is encoded within the HLA class III genomic region. Three proteins are probably identical with AIF‐1 termed Iba1 (ionized Ca2+‐binding adapter), MRF‐1 (microglia response factor) and daintain.

Acute paretic syndrome in juvenile White Leghorn chickens resembles late stages of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies in humans [PDF]
Background: Sudden limb paresis is a common problem in White Leghorn flocks, affecting about 1% of the chicken population before achievement of sexual maturity.

Depression and sickness behavior are Janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways [PDF]
It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Inflammatory proteins: Chemical and biological aspects [PDF]
Mediators of the inflammatory system can be broadly described as those that pre-exist and are released by active secretory mechanisms from storage granules (as in the case of vasoactive amines within cytoplasmic granules of mast cell), those that are biosynthetically generated de novo (as in the case of prostaglandins) and those that are produced by ...

Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins as Novel Targets in Inflammatory Processes [PDF]
Objective: Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), such as X-linked or cellular IAP 1/2 (XIAP, cIAP1/2), are important regulators of apoptosis. IAP antagonists are currently under clinical investigation as anticancer agents.

The detection of surfactant proteins A, B, C and D in the human brain and their regulation in cerebral infarction, autoimmune conditions and infections of the CNS [PDF]
Surfactant proteins (SP) have been studied intensively in the respiratory system. Surfactant protein A and surfactant protein D are proteins belonging to the family of collectins each playing a major role in the innate immune system.
