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.

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]
, 2014 Systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) may be caused by both infectious and sterile insults, such as trauma, ischemia-reperfusion or burns. They are characterized by early excessive inflammatory cytokine production and the endogenous release of ...
