Circadian rhythms of hosts and their gut microbiomes: Implications for animal physiology and ecology
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 476-487, March 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Daily light–dark cycles shape the circadian physiology and behaviour of nearly all organisms, with variation in circadian phenotypes having cascading effects on individual fitness, species interactions and species co‐evolution.

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022 Key preclinical steps in the development of a vaginal microbicide against HIV‐1 infection to lead to clinical trials. Abstract Although a wide variety of topical microbicides provide promising in vitro and in vivo efficacy, most of them failed to prevent sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) in human clinical trials.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 17-e6, February 2022., 2022 Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Anti‐Diabetic Effects of Cucurbitacins from Ibervillea lindheimeri on Induced Mouse Diabetes
Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Mexico has a great tradition of using medicinal plants against diabetes. For example, species from the genus Ibervillea traditionally known as “wereque” in Mexican popular medicine have a long ethnobotanical history as anti‐diabetic agents. Previous studies by our group indicated that ethyl acetate extract from Ibervillea lindheimeri (I.

Restoration of antitumor immunity through anti-MICA antibodies elicited with a chimeric protein
Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2020 Background Natural killer and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells are major players during antitumor immunity. They express NKG2D, an activating receptor that promotes tumor elimination through recognition of the MHC class I chain-related proteins A and B (MICA and ...

Retinoic acid increases phagocytosis of myelin by macrophages
Journal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 236, Issue 5, Page 3929-3945, May 2021., 2021 We have investigated whether ligands of nuclear receptor families retinoic acid receptors, retinoid X receptors, peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors, lipid X receptors, and farnesoid X receptors increase myelin phagocytosis by murine bone marrow–derived macrophages and Raw264.7 cells.
