Disruption of the blood–brain barrier contributes to neurobehavioral changes observed in rheumatic heart disease

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sydenham's chorea (SC) is the neurological manifestation associated with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), triggered by a group A streptococcal (GAS) infection. Anti‐GAS antibodies cross‐reacting with tissue proteins are implicated in the development of neurological changes. In this study, using an animal model, we demonstrate that a compromised blood–brain

A hepatoprotective experiment on taro vegetable (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) flower employing animal models by mitigating oxidative stress

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The antioxidant efficacy of Colocasia esculenta flower’s methanolic extract was assessed using 2,2′‐azino‐bis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic) (ABTS) and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay. The hepatoprotective effect was investigated by assessing liver injury indicators (amino transferase [ALT], aspartate amino transferase [AST],

Distinct Alterations of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Cluster Headache: A Case Control Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Investigate the immune system's role in cluster headache by analyzing cytokines in people with cluster headache and headache‐free controls, and explore if certain cytokines could predict a specific phenotype. Methods We measured 45 cytokines in adult participants from the Danish Cluster Headache Biobank in a prospective case–control setup ...

Potential Application of a Water‐Soluble Fullerene C60 Decorated with Diethylene Glycol in Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A new ethoxyethanol derivative of iminofullerene, F2, is synthesized and labeled with 99mTc to produce 99mTc‐F2. In vitro, compound F2 inhibits the activation of primary mouse bone marrow‐derived macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, 99mTc‐F2 is selectively enriched in the injured joints of mice. Inflammatory macrophages play a role

Functional Synovium‐Based 3D Models in the Context of Human Disease and Inflammation

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The synovium is key to joint function but is often affected by diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Finding better treatments is challenging because current lab models do not fully mimic real tissues. New 3D technologies, like bioprinting, offer better methods to study these diseases, improve drug testing, and develop personalized treatments, bringing ...
