Behavioral immune system activity predicts downregulation of chronic basal inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Here, we present a mechanistically grounded theory detailing a novel function of the behavioral immune system (BIS), the psychological system that prompts pathogen avoidance behaviors.

Psychiatric Symptoms and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Pregnancy [PDF]
Psychosomatic Medicine, 2011 Clinical studies suggest that psychiatric symptoms, particularly depression, anxiety and trauma, may be associated with inflammation, as indexed by proinflammatory cytokines. Such a link may be especially significant in pregnancy, and may shed additional light on the etiology of perinatal mood disorders.

The role of the novel Th17 cytokine IL-26 in intestinal inflammation [PDF]
, 2008 Background and aims: Interleukin 26 (IL-26), a novel IL-10-like cytokine without a murine homologue, is expressed in T helper 1 (Th1) and Th17 cells. Currently, its function in human disease is completely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse its

Interleukin-31: A Pro-inflammatory Oriented Cytokine
Frontiers in Bioscience-LandmarkType 2 immunity is represented by T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes and the cytokines produced downstream (Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, IL-31). They are increasingly recognized as pivotal mediators in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated dermatological ...

Cytokine profile in drug-naïve panic disorder patients
Translational Psychiatry, 2022 Although accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory processes play a role in the pathophysiology of mental disorders, few studies have investigated this matter in panic disorder (PD).

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

SERCA2 regulates non-CF and CF airway epithelial cell response to ozone. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Calcium mobilization can regulate a wide range of essential functions of respiratory epithelium, including ion transport, ciliary beat frequency, and secretion of mucus, all of which are modified in cystic fibrosis (CF).
