Role of vitamin A/retinoic acid in regulation of embryonic and adult hematopoiesis [PDF]
, 2017 Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient throughout life. Its physiologically active metabolite retinoic acid (RA), acting through nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs), is a potent regulator of patterning during embryonic development, as well as being ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.WP(Pip) is a mixture of whey protein and piperine‐loaded nanoemulsion stabilized by WP through microfluidic homogenization. Acting as a “smart key,” piperine opens epithelial tight junctions to enhance absorption of whey protein and, thereby increasing circulating amino acid availability, synergistically up‐regulates the mTOR signaling pathway in ...

Activation of iNKT Cells Prevents Salmonella-Enterocolitis and Salmonella-Induced Reactive Arthritis by Downregulating IL-17-Producing γδT Cells [PDF]
, 2017 Reactive arthritis (ReA) is an inflammatory condition of the joints that arises following an infection. Salmonella enterocolitis is one of the most common infections leading to ReA.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Less circulating mucosal-associated invariant T cells in patients with cervical cancer
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019 Objective: Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAITs) are important for immune defense against infectious pathogens and regulation of various inflammatory diseases. However, their roles in cancer are rarely reported. Since cervical cancer is one of the

α-Lactosylceramide Protects Against iNKT-Mediated Murine Airway Hyperreactivity and Liver Injury Through Competitive Inhibition of Cd1d Binding. [PDF]
, 2019 Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, which are activated by T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent recognition of lipid-based antigens presented by the CD1d molecule, have been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including asthma and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are precancerous colorectal lesions characterized by a flat morphology. This study reveals a mechanochemical pathway through which a soft matrix microenvironment diminishes spatial constraints in intestinal adenomas. This process promotes deficiencies in tight junction proteins, mediated by the mechanoreceptor ADORA2B ...

Mucosal‐associated invariant T cells in autoimmune and immune‐mediated diseases
Immunology & Cell Biology, 2018 AbstractAutoimmune and inflammatory diseases have complex etiologies not fully understood. Both innate and adaptive immune cells are involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express an invariant TCRα chain (Vα7.2‐Jα33 in humans and Vα19‐Jα33 in mice) and recognize the conserved MHC‐I‐related molecule ...
