Association between the Polymorphisms of IL-4 Gene Promoter (-590C>T), IL-13 Coding Region (R130Q) and IL-16 Gene Promoter (-295T>C) and Allergic Asthma

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2007
Allergic asthma is a multifactorial disease, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent family-based studies have revealed evidence for linkage of human chromosomes 5q31-33, 12q15-24, 11q13 and 15q23.6 as regions likely to contain genes ...

Real‐World Effectiveness and Safety of Secukinumab in Giant Cell Arteritis: An Italian Multicenter Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the real‐world effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods This multicenter retrospective study included patients with GCA who received secukinumab at 14 Italian centers with at least six months of follow‐up.

Unsupervised Machine Learning Identifies Shared Biomechanical and Clinical Variation in Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis and High Body Mass Index

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective High body mass index (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) and aberrant gait biomechanics are primary risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), yet the specific loading patterns linked to clinical disease features remain unclear. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) was used to identify vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) waveform modes of variation and ...

Interleukin-4 C-590T polymorphism has no role in coronary artery bypass surgery

, 2007
Interleukin-4 exerts anti-inflammatory effects through decreased macrophage production of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β. We investigated genetic predisposition in the interleukin-4 response to coronary revascularization and studied the ...

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...

Macrophage–Fibroblast Crosstalk Governs Tumor Mechanics, as Revealed by Spatiotemporal Force Mapping in 3D Spheroids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows crosstalk among tumor cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages alters the physical forces inside 3D tumor spheroids. Incorporating deformable microparticles in 3D tumor spheroids, the researchers mapped mechanical stresses spatially and with respect to tumor growth (temporally).
