Molecular Characterization of Interleukin-1Beta in the Tammar Wallaby (Macropus eugenii)

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2010
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) plays a significant role in the onset and pathogenesis of inflammation in mammalian hosts. Although well characterized in a range of vertebrate species, little is known about this important cytokine in marsupial mammals. We report here the molecular cloning and characterization of IL-1β in the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii).

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Therapeutic targeting of bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis by human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicles and/or pirfenidone: Impact of sex in mature adult mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with limited therapeutic options. This study compared the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (BM‐MSC‐EVs) with an IPF treatment, pirfenidone (PFD), in mature adult mice with established pulmonary ...

Peripheral Inflammation and Sleep Loss Induce Coordinated Motivational Changes: An Experimental Two‐Hit Stress Model

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep loss and low‐grade inflammation are common stressors that affect behaviour and recovery needs. To examine their separate and combined effects on motivation for everyday behaviours, we developed a two‐hit experimental model. Participants (N = 56, 31 women) completed three experimental visits: sleep saturation (two nights, 9 h in bed/night)

Selected monosaccharides in cancer: Metabolic routing, post‐translational modification, immunity and therapeutic potential

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Glucose, galactose, mannose and fructose can either fuel or fight tumours by rewiring metabolism and immunity. Their context‐dependent double‐edged nature suggests that precisely targeted monosaccharide interventions could become a new pillar of precision oncology.

Cholesterol crystals activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in human macrophages: a novel link between cholesterol metabolism and inflammation.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundChronic inflammation of the arterial wall is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, yet the factors that trigger and sustain the inflammation remain elusive.

SIRT Family: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
SIRT1–SIRT7 networks from transgenic mice to human‑relevant therapeutic targets. SIRT1–SIRT7 form an isoform‑, organ‑, and disease‑specific regulatory network. Transgenic Sirt1–7 mouse models define central regulatory SIRTs (SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6), context‑dependent modifiers (SIRT2, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT7), and their key mechanisms and target organs. These
