Antinociceptive activity of the S1P-receptor agonist FTY720 [PDF]

, 2008
FTY720 is a novel immunosuppressive drug that inhibits the egress of lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid tissues and thymus. In its phosphorylated form FTY720 is a potent S1P receptor agonist.

Machine‐Learning‐Aided Advanced Electrochemical Biosensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemical biosensors are highly sensitive, portable, and versatile. Advanced nanomaterials enhance their performance, while machine learning (ML) improves data analysis, minimizes interference, and optimizes sensor design. Despite progress in both fields, their combined potential in diagnostics remains underexplored.

mPGES-1-Derived PGE2 Contributes to Indoxyl Sulfate-Induced Mesangial Cell Proliferation

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: We previously reported that indoxyl sulfate (IS) could cause mesangial cell (MC) proliferation via a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent mechanism.

NaCl transport stimulates prostaglandin release in cultured renal epithelial (MDCK) cells [PDF]

, 1986
Prostaglandins (PGs) can modulate a variety of renal functions, including Na+ and Cl- reabsorption. However, it is not known if a direct interdependence exists between PG synthesis and transport activity. The present study was done to find out whether or

Statin-induced myopathic changes in primary human muscle cells and reversal by a prostaglandin F2 alpha analogue [PDF]

, 2020
Statin-related muscle side effects are a constant healthcare problem since patient compliance is dependent on side effects. Statins reduce plasma cholesterol levels and can prevent secondary cardiovascular diseases.

Ultra‐Fine 3D Bioprinting of Dynamic Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for in Vitro Modeling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D bioprinting merges tissue engineering and additive manufacturing to create biological structures. A bioink is developed by modifying hyaluronic acid, a natural extracellular matrix polymer, with cysteine. Potassium iodide is later added to tune gelation kinetics, enabling fine printing with a 32G needle.

Microvascular COX-2/mPGES-1/EP-4 axis in human abdominal aortic aneurysm

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
We investigated the prostaglandin (PG)E2 pathway in human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its relationship with hypervascularization. We analyzed samples from patients undergoing AAA repair in comparison with those from healthy multiorgan donors ...

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-2 is not essential for in vivo prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis [PDF]

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2009
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in the normal physiology of many organ systems. Increased levels of this lipid mediator are associated with many disease states, and it potently regulates inflammatory responses. Three enzymes capable of in vitro synthesis of PGE2 from the cyclooxygenase metabolite PGH2 have been described.

Nanostructured 316L Stainless Steel Stent Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance, and Enhance Endothelization and Hemocompatibility

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Human macrophages differentially produce specific resolvin or leukotriene signals that depend on bacterial pathogenicity

Nature Communications, 2018
Proinflammatory eicosanoids (prostaglandins and leukotrienes) and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) are temporally regulated during infections.
