Cytokine and Chemokine Retention Profile in COVID-19 Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Toxins, 2022 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are more susceptible to infections compared to the general population. SARS-CoV-2 virus pathology is characterized by a cytokine storm responsible for the systemic inflammation typical of the COVID-19 disease.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy treated with interleukin-7
Clinical Infection in Practice, 2020 Background: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare devastating brain infection caused by the JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) in patients with impaired cellular immune responses. In the absence of effective anti-viral therapy, it is unclear if

P2X receptors: epithelial ion channels and regulators of salt and water transport. [PDF]
, 2008 When the results from electrophysiological studies of renal epithelial cells are combined with data from in vivo tubule microperfusion experiments and immunohistochemical surveys of the nephron, the accumulated evidence suggests that ATP-gated ion ...

Truncated Chicken Interleukin-1β with Increased Biologic Activity [PDF]
, 2003 Chicken interleukin-1β (ChIL-1β) is synthesized as a precursor molecule that unlike its mammalian counterpart, lacks a typical caspase-1 cleavage site. Therefore, it was unclear if proteolytic cleavage of ChIL-1β can occur and if cleavage might modulate ...

A simple method for in vitro preparation of natural killer cells from cord blood
BMC Biotechnology, 2019 Background Cord Blood (CB) has been considered a promising source of natural killer (NK) cells for cellular immunotherapy. However, it is difficult to expand the large numbers of highly pure NK cells from CB without cell sorting and feeder cells/multiple

The onset of labor alters corticotropin-releasing hormone type 1 receptor variant expression in human myometrium : putative role of interleukin-1ß [PDF]
, 2007 CRH targets the human myometrium during pregnancy. The efficiency of CRH actions is determined by expression of functional receptors (CRH-R), which are dynamically regulated.
