Immune response of hibernating European bats to a fungal challenge
Immunological responses of hibernating mammals are suppressed at low body temperatures, a possible explanation for the devastating effect of the white-nose syndrome on hibernating North American bats.

A monoclonal antibody recognizing very late activation antigen-4 inhibits eosinophil accumulation in vivo. [PDF]
Using an in vivo test system, the role of the β1 integrin very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) in eosinophil accumulation in allergic and nonallergic inflammatory reactions was investigated.

Comparative lipid profiling dataset of the inflammation-induced optic nerve regeneration. [PDF]
In adult mammals, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) fail to regenerate following damage. As a result, RGCs die after acute injury and in progressive degenerative diseases such as glaucoma; this can lead to permanent vision loss and, eventually, blindness ...

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Immunomodulatory properties of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor
Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a myelopoietic growth factor that exerts pleiotropic effect not only on the differentiation of immature progenitor cells into polymorphonuclear neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages and dendritic ...

Lipid Droplet-Driven Ribosome Collisions Trigger ZAKα-p38 Signaling to Accelerate Testicular Aging. [PDF]
Aging‐ and obesity‐driven lipid droplet accumulation in Sertoli cells induces ROS‐mediated ribosome collisions, activating the ZAKα‐p38 pathway to accelerate testicular aging. Pharmacological ZAKα inhibition with Nilotinib rescues age‐related testicular dysfunction, identifying ribotoxic stress as a therapeutic target.

CXCR2 deficient mice display macrophage-dependent exaggerated acute inflammatory responses [PDF]
CXCR2 is an essential regulator of neutrophil recruitment to inflamed and damaged sites and plays prominent roles in inflammatory pathologies and cancer. It has therefore been highlighted as an important therapeutic target.
