Intracellular Detection of C. acnes and S. aureus in Non‐Herniated Human Intervertebral Discs: Implications for Catabolic Signaling Pathways

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus antigens were detected within non‐herniated intervertebral discs and correlated with catabolic and pyroptotic markers (MMP‐3, GSDMD) and PRRs including NOD2. NP cells exposed to bacterial peptidoglycan showed MAPK/NF‐κB activation and catabolic cytokine release, suggesting that bacterial sensing through a ...

Loss of myocardial LIF receptor in experimental heart failure reduces cardiotrophin-1 cytoprotection. A role for neurohumoral agonists? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
OBJECTIVES: Cardiomyocyte loss is involved in the transition from compensatory left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to heart failure (HF). Our aim was to investigate the status of the leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR)/gp130 survival pathway and ...

Understanding the Physiological Behavior of Disc Cells in an In Vitro Imitation of the Healthy and Degenerated Disc Niche

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Here, the development of media compositions to mimic the healthy and degenerate IVD has been achieved. Human NP cells and explants were successfully cultured within these media without any detectable loss of viability and minimal secretomic changes. The main effects observed within cultures were seen with the addition of physiological concentrations of

Heteroarylketones inhibit astroglial interleukin-6 expression via a STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Elevated brain levels of the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6, which is mainly secreted from activated local astrocytes, contribute to pathological events including neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Thus, inhibition of pathological IL-

Activity and Heterogeneity of Astrocytes in Neurological Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
Astrocytes display heterogeneity in various neurological disorders and behavioral neuropsychiatric disorders. Astrocytes influence the progression of neurological diseases through neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic abnormalities, intercellular interactions, and a spectrum of other pathophysiological processes.

Biomarker profiles in serum and saliva of experimental Sjögren's syndrome: associations with specific autoimmune manifestations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Introduction Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly targets the exocrine glands. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of 87 proteins measured in serum and 75 proteins analyzed in saliva in spontaneous ...

Surface Reconstruction in Quasi‐2D Perovskite Films Treated with Cesium Halide Nanocrystals: Halide Exchange or Phase Transformation

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2025.
Surface modification of quasi‐2D perovskite films with CsX (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals enables tunable photoluminescence across the visible spectrum. Selective halide exchange or structural phase transformation occurs at the interface, governed by kinetic differences.
