Molecular Mechanisms of Depression: Perspectives on New Treatment Strategies

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Depression is a multicausal disorder and has been associated with the risk to develop cancer, dementia, diabetes, epilepsy and stroke. As a metabolic disorder depression has been associated with obesity, diabetes, insulin sensitivity, neuropeptide Y ...

Mechanisms by which interleukin-4 suppresses inflammatory cytokine production by activated human monocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Improving understanding of how inflammatory responses by monocytes and macrophages are regulated may aid in the development of more targeted therapies for chronic inflammatory disease.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Persistent inflammation has been proposed to contribute to various stages in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) signalling propagates downstream inflammation cascades.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Synergy between sphingosine 1-phosphate and lipopolysaccharide signaling promotes an inflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic response in human aortic valve interstitial cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Given that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate is involved in cardiovascular pathophysiology, and since lipid accumulation and inflammation are hallmarks of calcific aortic stenosis, the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate on the pro-inflammatory/pro-

‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...

Adverse effects of dupilumab in a child with atopic dermatitis: A case report of anaphylaxis and literature review

open access: yesAllergy Medicine
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. It usually develops in childhood and may persist into adulthood. Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against interleukin-4R-alpha, the common chain ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

A new theory of depression based on the serotonin/kynurenine relationship and the hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal axis

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2018
The serotonergic and immunological hypothesis of depression proposes that certain types of excessive stress distort the relationship between the activities of the innate immune and central nervous systems, so that the stress caused by an infection, or ...
