Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.

Novel structural determinants of the human neutrophil chemotactic activity of leukotriene B. [PDF]
A specific 5(S),12(R)-dihydroxy-eicosa-6,8,10(trans/trans/cis), 14(cis)-tetraenoic acid, designated leukotriene B, is generated by the lipoxygenation and subsequent enzymatic hydration of arachidonic acid in a variety of leukocytes. Leukotriene B elicits

Molecular Organization of Vomeronasal Chemoreception [PDF]
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) has a key role in mediating the social and defensive responses of many terrestrial vertebrates to species- and sex-specific chemosignals.

Background and PurposeThe pattern recognition receptors, formyl peptide receptors, FPR1 and FPR2, are G protein‐coupled receptors that recognize many different pathogen‐ and host‐derived ligands. While FPR1 conveys pro‐inflammatory signals, FPR2 is linked with pro‐resolving outcomes.

Chronic inflammation is a causative factor of many cancers, although it originally acts as a protective host response to the loss of tissue homeostasis. Many inflammatory conditions predispose susceptible cells, most of which are of epithelial origin, to

Intranuclear Signaling Cascades Triggered by Nuclear GPCRs
G protein-couped receptors (GPCRs) play a key role on cellular membranes, where they respond to a broad array of extracellular signals such as lipids, peptides, proteins and sensory agents.

Formyl-methionine as a degradation signal at the N-termini of bacterial proteins [PDF]
In bacteria, all nascent proteins bear the pretranslationally formed N-terminal formyl-methionine (fMet) residue. The fMet residue is cotranslationally deformylated by a ribosome-associated deformylase.

Inhibitory effects of aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 on spinal nociceptive processing in rat pain models [PDF]
Background: Harnessing the actions of the resolvin pathways has the potential for the treatment of a wide range of conditions associated with overt inflammatory signalling.

Cardioprotective Actions of the Annexin-A1 N-Terminal Peptide, Ac2-26, Against Myocardial Infarction
The anti-inflammatory, pro-resolving annexin-A1 protein acts as an endogenous brake against exaggerated cardiac necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis following myocardial infarction (MI) in vivo.

Effect of SXWS/WSXWS peptides on chemotaxis and adhesion of the macrophage-like cell line J774 [PDF]
WSXWS motif is a conserved amino acid sequence that is present in type I cytokine receptors. This motif that can be found both in the ligand binding chains and signal transducer molecule of the receptors with different amino acids at the position “X ...
