Taste and Smell Disorders in COVID-19 Patients: Role of Interleukin-6
The rapid recovery of smell and taste functions in COVID-19 patients could be attributed to a decrease in interleukin-6 levels rather than central nervous system ischemic injury or viral damage to neuronal cells.

Serum levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 as diagnostic markers of acute pyelonephritis in children [PDF]
PurposeEarly diagnosis and treatment of acute pyelonephritis in children is of special importance in order to prevent serious complications. This study was conducted to determine the diagnostic value of serum interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in children with ...

Validation of an automated enzyme immunoassay for interleukin-6 for routine clinical use [PDF]
Serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, are increased in early stages of inflammatory diseases such as infection and sepsis. Assay systems which permit its measurement within a few hours and as a single measurement have not been

Increased levels of interleukin-6 exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype in mdx mice [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive lethal muscle degeneration and chronic inflammatory response. The mdx mouse strain has served as the animal model for human DMD. However, while DMD patients undergo extensive necrosis, the

Interleukin-6 Signaling Effects on Ischemic Stroke and Other Cardiovascular Outcomes
ownregulation of IL-6 (interleukin-6) signaling has been proposed as a strategy for lowering cardiovascular risk. Secondary analyses from CANTOS (Canakinumab Anti-Inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study) demonstrated that the therapeutic benefit of IL-1 β

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Expression of inflammation-related genes is associated with adipose tissue location in horses [PDF]
Background : In humans, adipose tissue (AT) originating from different depots shows varying gene expression profiles. In horses, the risk of certain metabolic disorders may also be influenced by the impact of specific AT depots.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
