Zirconium oxide nanoparticles: Protocolicidal effect against hydatid cyst protoscoleces with interleukins evaluation in mice [PDF]
The current study investigated the effect of zirconium oxide nanoparticles NPs on the levels of interleukins in mice inoculated with protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus, after exposure to ZrO2 NPs at the doses,5,10,50, and 100 µg /ml for 30 ...

Signaling via interleukin-4, receptor alpha chain is required for successful vaccination against schistosomiasis in BALB/c mice [PDF]
Radiation-attenuated (RA) schistosome larvae are potent stimulators of innate immune responses at the skin site of exposure (pinna) that are likely to be important factors in the development of Th1-mediated protective immunity.

Follicular fluid cytokine concentration impact on oocyte maturity, embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes during ovarian stimulation cycles in infertile women [PDF]
Introduction: Since cytokines in follicular fluid play an important role in ovulation and oocyte maturation, they also have an essential role in reproductive processes such as fertilization, early embryonic development, and implantation potential.

Fasting metabolism modulates the interleukin-12/interleukin-10 cytokine axis.
A crucial role of cell metabolism in immune cell differentiation and function has been recently established. Growing evidence indicates that metabolic processes impact both, innate and adaptive immunity.

Antiviral treatment alters the frequency of activating and inhibitory receptor-expressing natural killer cells in chronic Hepatitis B virus infected patients [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in innate antiviral immunity, but little is known about the impact of antiviral therapy on the frequency of NK cell subsets.
