Cholesterol-sensing liver X receptors stimulate Th2-driven allergic eosinophilic asthma in mice [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that function as cholesterol sensors and regulate cholesterol homeostasis. High cholesterol has been recognized as a risk factor in asthma; however, the mechanism of this linkage is not known.

Soluble cytokine receptors [PDF]
Blood, 1996 HE WORD “HORMONE” comes from the Greek, meaning to set in motion, whereas “humoral” comes from the Latin for ‘‘liquid.’’ Classical hormones are delivered in the blood “to set in motion” target cell proliferation or functional activation. Therefore, humoral specificity depends on the hormone’s ability to interact only with cells expressing the ...
