Consumer Cultural Renaissance: Conceptualisation, Scale Development, and Validation

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As incessant globalisation leads to the pervasive erosion of traditional Asian culture by Western consumerism, a recent phenomenon has emerged that allures Asian consumers to reconnect with their traditional culture via consumption. We postulate that this behaviour is rooted in a self‐identity, consumer cultural renaissance (CCR), that has not

CCR5 chemokine receptor gene polymorphisms in ocular toxoplasmosis

Acta Tropica, 2018
CC chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a chemokine receptor that influences the immune response to infectious and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to determine whether the CCR5Δ32 and CCR5 59029 A/G polymorphisms are associated with the development of ocular toxoplasmosis in humans.

No evidence for an association between the chemokine receptor 5 D32 polymorphism and multiple sclerosis susceptibility: A meta-analysis [PDF]

Scripta Medica
Background/Aim: Numerous reports have been published on the association of the chemokine receptor 5 D32 genetic variation (rs333) with the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), with results that are inconsistent.

Graded traumatic brain injury severity differentially modulates microglial and astrocytic polarization states and response to minocycline

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of the experimental design and key findings of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with varying severities. Mild, moderate, and severe TBI were induced in the right motor cortex of mice using the controlled cortical impact (CCI) method, with impact depths of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mm, respectively. A subset of severe TBI mice received minocycline

From cytokine storm to renal scarring in diabetic kidney disease: Biomarkers, risk stratification, and precision therapeutics

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

Upregulation of expression of the chemokine receptor CCR5 by hydrogen peroxide in human monocytes

Mediators of Inflammation, 2003
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that an oxidative stress can serve as a signal to regulate the expression of CCR5. When human monocytes were exposed to graded concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), CCR5 mRNA levels increased ...

Human Blood‐Brain Tumor Barrier on a Chip to Investigate Personalized Treatment for Glioblastoma Patients

Small, EarlyView.
A microfluidic model of the glioblastoma (GBM) margin was developed to mimic patient‐specific blood‐brain tumor barrier (BBTB) function and drug response. The platform revealed inter‐patient variability in barrier integrity and drug sensitivity, offering a tool for personalized therapy evaluation in GBM.

Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2‐Ethyl‐5‐Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine‐Fibroid–Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell‐Derived 3D Organoids

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Recombinant CXCR4/CCR5 hybrid receptors as tools for studies of HIV-1 receptor usage [PDF]

, 2007
The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are required, together with CD4, for the entry of HIV-1 into target cells. CCR5 using HIV-1 dominates during transmission and the asymptomatic phase of infection.
