The n-acetyl phenylalanine glucosamine derivative attenuates the inflammatory/catabolic environment in a chondrocyte-synoviocyte co-culture system [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, still lacks a true disease-modifying therapy. The involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its upstream activating kinases in OA pathogenesis has been recognized for many years.

Optogenetic Stimulation Enhances Interleukin-1beta Levels in Cultured Neurons [PDF]
The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1) has a role in physiological regulation, e.g. sleep, and in pathology including the chronic inflammation associated sleep disorders and in the neuropathology of brain trauma, epilepsy and stroke. Sleep and inflammation are affected by cell activity. However, a mechanistic connection between specific

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.

Cysteine redox potential determines pro-inflammatory IL-1beta levels.
BackgroundCysteine (Cys) and its disulfide, cystine (CySS) represent the major extracellular thiol/disulfide redox control system. The redox potential (E(h)) of Cys/CySS is centered at approximately -80 mV in the plasma of healthy adults, and oxidation ...

Interleukin 1beta in serum of women with preterm uterine contractions
Preterm delivery is a major obstetric and public health problem, accounting for 50-70% of all perinatal deaths. An enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) test was used to determine serum interleukin 1b (IL-1b) levels in 32 women with preterm contractions compared with 26 women in term labour and 11 normal preterm pregnant women.

The potential for dietary factors to prevent or treat osteoarthritis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease for which there are no disease-modifying drugs. It is a leading cause of disability in the UK. Increasing age and obesity are both major risk factors for OA and the health and economic burden of this ...
