Omega-3 DHA as a blank canvas: A molecular approximation to how lipid mediators modulate LGR6 in inflammation resolution. [PDF]
Abstract The leucine‐rich repeat‐containing G protein‐coupled receptor 6 (LGR6) has a potential role in inflammation resolution and different cancer processes. In this study, we employed computational techniques, including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations of mammalian membrane‐embeded systems, to understand the activation mechanism ...

Synthesis of Optically Active Maresin 2 and Maresin 2n-3 DPA [PDF]
AbstractMaresins are among the most potent antiinflammatory lipid metabolites. We report stereoselective syntheses of maresin 2 and maresin 2n-3 DPA. The anti-diol was constructed through epoxide ring opening of an optically active β,γ-epoxy aldehyde, synthesized in situ by Swern oxidation of the corresponding alcohol.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are lipid mediators derived from poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which have been demonstrated to have an important role in the inflammation environment, preventing an overreaction of the organism and ...

Molecular pathobiology of scleritis and its therapeutic implications [PDF]
Scleritis and other autoimmune diseases are characterized by an imbalance in the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules with the balance tilted more towards the former due to the failure of recognition of self.

Bioactive lipid-based therapeutic approach to COVID-19 and other similar infections
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Epithelial and T, NK, and other immunocytes release bioactive lipids especially arachidonic acid (AA) in response to microbial infections to inactivate them and upregulate the immune system.

Administration of Maresin-1 ameliorates the physiopathology of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]
Abstract Background Resolution of inflammation is an active and regulated process that leads to the clearance of cell debris and immune cells from the challenged tissue, facilitating the recovery of homeostasis. This physiological response is coordinated by endogenous bioactive lipids known as specialized pro-resolving ...

Endogenous inhibitory mechanisms in asthma
Endogenous inhibitory mechanisms promote resolution of inflammation, enhance tissue repair and integrity, and promote homeostasis in the lung. These mechanisms include steroid hormones, regulatory T cells, IL-10, prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin I2 ...

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including Maresins (MaR)-1 and 2, contribute to tear film homeostasis and resolve conjunctival inflammation. We investigated MaR2′s signaling pathways in goblet cells (GC) from rat conjunctiva. Agonist-induced [Ca2+]i and high-molecular weight glycoconjugate secretion were measured. MaR2 increased [Ca2+]i and
