Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...

Interleukin-17 family in health and immune diseases: From origin to clinical implications

Neural Regeneration Research
The interleukin-17 family is the key group of cytokines and displays a broad spectrum of biological functions, including regulating the inflammatory cascade in various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica

Topically Delivered Treg‐Attracting Microparticle‐Hydrogel Composites Recruit Regulatory T Cells and Limit Cardiac Injury After Severe Ischemia

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
CCL22‐releasing PLGA microparticles (MP) suspended in topically applied hydrogels (HEART) establish a sustained chemokine gradient at the injured myocardium. HEART recruits CCR4+ regulatory T cells, reduces infarct size and graft fibrosis, and improves cardiac function.

Studies on the action of interleukin-1 on term human fetal membranes and decidua

, 1994
Recent studies have indicated the possible importance of cytokines in the onset of term and preterm labor. To examine this further, the effect of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-1α (IL-1α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on prostaglandin output by ...

Emerging interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) inhibitors or degraders as therapeutic agents for autoimmune diseases and cancer

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B
Interleukin-1 receptor-related kinase (IRAK4) is a widely expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in the regulation of innate immunity. IRAK4 plays a pivotal role as a key kinase within the downstream signaling pathway cascades of interleukin-1 ...

Atom‐Efficient Cerium‐Based Molecular Cages as Biocompatible Reactive Oxygen Scavengers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Discrete mixed‐valent cerium molecular cages organize accessible redox centers within confined coordination environments and scavenge superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Encapsulation of the lead cage in an ROS‐responsive DTP nanoplatform enables lesion‐associated delivery, attenuates macrophage oxidative stress and inflammation, and ...

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Purinergic receptors in skeletal muscles in health and in muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2014
The P2 purinergic (nucleotide) receptor super-family comprises of two families of protein. The P2X, which are channel-forming ionotropic receptors and the P2Y metabotropic receptors activating G protein-mediated signalling pathways.

The effects of blockade of interleukin 2 receptors and interleukin 4 receptors on cytokine production

, 1991
The understanding of the regulation of cytokine production and T-cell proliferation by other cytokines is far from complete. We have examined the supernatant concentration of different cytokines in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) incubated ...

Expression of hormonal receptors and Toll-like receptors in cultured canine uterine explants with pseudoplacentational endometrial hyperplasia and bacterial-elicited endometrial inflammation.

PLoS ONE
Pseudoplacentational endometrial hyperplasia (PEH) is a common uterine lesion in dogs. A high frequency of pyometra has been associated with PEH in dogs, suggesting that PEH might be related to the pathogenesis of pyometra.
