Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Itch‐induced tick removal (IITR): An acquired neuroimmune mechanism, itch‐induced tick removal, develops after repeated tick exposure, mobilizing T cells and macrophages at the tick bite site to trigger a rapid scratching response that facilitates timely tick removal within a critical window that preces the transmission of many tick‐borne pathogens ...

Endogenous Ceramide 24:1 Constrains Th17‐Driven Neutrophilic Inflammation by Antagonizing EP2 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.

High intake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid exacerbates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by the involvement of multiple metabolic pathways

Frontiers in Nutrition
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by steatosis, inflammation, and hepatocyte damage. A Western-style diet characterized by excessive n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-6 PUFA) intake, which is metabolized to pro-inflammatory ...

Phase 2 trial of montelukast for prevention of pain in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

, 2020
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are lipid mediators of inflammation. In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), levels of CysLTs are increased compared with controls and associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for pain. We tested the hypothesis

Circulating leukotriene b4 identifies respiratory complications after trauma [PDF]

, 2012
Background. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a proinflammatory lipid mediator correlates well with the acute phase of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Therefore, LTB4-levels were investigated to determine whether they might be a useful clinical marker ...

Dupilumab Beyond the Airway: Decreased Morbidity in a Real‐World Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Post hoc analyses of clinical trials have characterized dupilumab's adverse effects, yet the real‐world impact in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma is not well described. This study aims to characterize the risks of lymphoma, cardiovascular events, eosinophilia, joint pain, inflammatory arthritis, and ...

Taurocholate-stimulated leukotriene C4 biosynthesis and leukotriene C4-stimulated choleresis in isolated rat liver [PDF]

, 1995
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Cysteinyl-containing leukotrienes seem to exert a cholestatic effect. However, leukotriene inhibitors were found to reduce bile salt efflux in isolated rat hepatocytes, suggesting a role for leukotrienes in bile flow formation. METHODS:
