Stronger inflammatory/cytotoxic T cell response in women identified by microarray analysis [PDF]

, 2008
Women develop chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like lupus more often than men. The mechanisms causing the increased susceptibility are incompletely understood, although estrogen is believed to contribute.

Labor-associated gene expression in the human uterine fundus, lower segment, and cervix [PDF]

, 2006
Background Preterm labor, failure to progress, and postpartum hemorrhage are the common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality or morbidity. All result from defects in the complex mechanisms controlling labor, which coordinate changes in the ...

Activation of NF‐κB Signaling by Optogenetic Clustering of IKKα and β

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study presents an optogenetic approach for graded clustering of eGFP‐fused proteins using an eGFP‐specific nanobody and engineered Cryptochrome 2 variants. The method enables potent, reversible activation of NF‐κB signaling via endogenous pathways, as confirmed by RNA sequencing. This versatile system provides a spatially and temporally controlled

Inhibition of Glutamine Metabolism Attenuates Tumor Progression Through Remodeling of the Macrophage Immune Microenvironment

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The prodrug strategy used in this study offers new promise for cancer metabolism‐based therapies. JHU083, a prodrug that, when cleaved by protease in the tumor microenvironment, yields the glutamine antagonist DON. JHU083 inhibits tumor growth by targeting glutamine‐addicted cancer cells and suppressing glutamine‐dependent M2 macrophages, leading to a ...

Induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha gene expression by lipoprotein lipase.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
In view of the suppressive effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and of the potential proatherogenic effects of these two macrophage secretory products, we have tested the possibility that LPL could modulate the ...

Incidence of Toxoplasmosis in Psoriasis Patients and Possible Correlation with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α

مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic parasite in immune-compromised persons. The prevalence of toxoplasmosis in psoriasis patients is investigated. In addition, the treatment effect on psoriasis patients infected with toxoplasmosis through evaluating ...

Evaluation of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 as diagnostic parameters in sepsis-related fatalities [PDF]

, 2018
The aims of this study were to investigate the usefulness of serum C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 as postmortem markers of sepsis and to compare C-reactive protein and procalcitonin values

3D In Vitro Models of Breast Cancer: Current Challenges and Future Prospects Toward Recapitulating the Microenvironment and Mimicking Key Processes

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro cancer models are advantageous for studying important processes such as tumorigenesis, cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis. The complexity and biological relevance increase depending on the model structure, organization, and composition of materials and cells.
