On the health effects of curcumin and its derivatives
Curcuma longa has therapeutic properties that have gained prodigious consideration from scientists in the medical field—review of the existing clinical and animal studies of curcumin and its by‐products. The biological properties of curcumin, also known as 1,7‐bis (4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,6‐heptadiene‐3,5‐dione, or diferuloylmethane, include anti ...

IL‐10 and IL‐17 exhibited diverse impacts on regulating MDSCs and airway inflammation. In vitro, IL‐10 deficiency increased polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC numbers without affecting their suppressive activity in bone marrow, lung, and spleen. In the asthma model, IL‐17 deficiency decreased monocytic (M)‐MDSC numbers and suppressive activity in the lung ...

Safety profile and clinical activity of multiple subcutaneous doses of MEDI-528, a humanized anti-interleukin-9 monoclonal antibody, in two randomized phase 2a studies in subjects with asthma [PDF]
Background Interleukin-9 (IL-9)-targeted therapies may offer a novel approach for treating asthmatics. Two randomized placebo-controlled studies were conducted to assess the safety profile and potential efficacy of multiple subcutaneous doses

Abstract We executed this study to determine if chemerin‐like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), a Gi/o protein‐coupled receptor expressed by leukocytes and non‐leukocytes, contributes to the development of phenotypic features of non‐atopic asthma, including airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to acetyl‐β‐methylcholine chloride, lung hyperpermeability, airway ...

Group III secreted phospholipase A2‐driven lysophospholipid pathway protects against allergic asthma
This study focuses on the role of group III‐secreted PLA2 (sPLA2‐III) in asthma pathology. sPLA2‐III deficiency exacerbated allergen‐induced asthmatic responses by reducing lysophospholipid levels in the lung. Agonists for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor 2 reduced TSLP expression in bronchial epithelial cells and reversed airway ...
