Angiotensin‐(1‐7) and Alamandine Promote Anti‐inflammatory Response in Macrophages In Vitro and In Vivo

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) peptides play an important role in inflammation. Resolution of inflammation contributes to restore tissue homeostasis, and it is characterized by neutrophil apoptosis and their subsequent removal by macrophages, which are remarkable plastic cells involved in the pathophysiology of diverse inflammatory diseases ...

A New Approach to Diagnose Parkinson’s Disease Using a Structural Cooccurrence Matrix for a Similarity Analysis

Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Parkinson’s disease affects millions of people around the world and consequently various approaches have emerged to help diagnose this disease, among which we can highlight handwriting exams. Extracting features from handwriting exams is an important contribution of the computational field for the diagnosis of this disease. In this paper, we propose an

Production of Human Endothelial Cells Free from Soluble Xenogeneic Antigens for Bioartificial Small Diameter Vascular Graft Endothelization

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Arterial bypass graft implantation remains the primary therapy for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease, but most lack adequate saphenous vein or other conduits for bypass procedures and would benefit from a bioartificial conduit. This study aimed to produce human endothelial cells (hECs) in large scale, free from xenogeneic antigens, to ...
