Exposure of Microglia to Interleukin-4 Represses NF-κB-Dependent Transcription of Toll-Like Receptor-Induced Cytokines

Interleukin (IL)-4 is a cytokine that affects both adaptive and innate immune responses. In the central nervous system, microglia express IL-4 receptors and it has been described that IL-4-exposed microglia acquire anti-inflammatory propert...

Cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes associated with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Chronic systemic inflammation in individuals with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) potentially predisposes them to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, evidence with regard to such association is limited...

Early urate-lowering therapy in gouty arthritis with acute flares: a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial

Abstract Background Gouty arthritis (GA) is a chronic systemic disease with recurrent acute monoarthritis. In a previous study, a higher incidence of acute flares was observed during the initial marked decrease in serum urate level. Our stu...

Worldwide productivity and research trend of publications concerning extracellular vesicles role in fibrosis: A bibliometric study from 2013 to 2022

Background: Fibrosis is a heavy burden on the global healthcare system. Recently, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that Extracellular vesicles play an important role in intercellular communication under both physiological a...

Basic and Clinical Immunology.

This text and review has been updated and revised since the last edition in 1974. The normal immunologic function and disease processes are presented clearly. New features include emphasis on normal immunologic function and disease processe...

Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology

Essential for USMLE review and medical microbiology coursework! Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology is a succinct, high-yield review of the medically important aspects of microbiology and immunology. It covers both the basic and c...

Clinical Aspects of Immunology.

Volume 1: anatomical basis of the immune system architecture of immunity induction and regulation of immune responses. Volume 2: advances in technology immunological intervention allergy connective tissue disease immunodeficiency. Volume 3:...

Factors Associated With Elevated C-Reactive Protein Levels in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Followed at the Cocody University Hospital, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The Immunogenicity of Capsid-Like Particle Vaccines in Combination with Different Adjuvants Using Different Routes of Administration

Capsid-like particle (CLP) displays can be used to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccine antigens, but a better understanding of how CLP vaccines are best formulated and delivered is needed. This study compared the humoral immune responses ...

Ovarian cancer treatment and natural killer cell-based immunotherapy

BackgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is one of the malignant tumors that poses a serious threat to women’s health. Natural killer (NK) cells are an integral part of the immune system and have the ability to kill tumor cells directly or participate...

Serum Bilirubin Level Changes in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the Central Nervous System (CNS). In addition to the role of immune mediated mechanisms, oxidative and nitrosative stress also play an important role in neuropathology of MS...

Draft genome sequences of two hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant ST25 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing respiratory and systemic infections

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The emergence and spread of hypermucoviscous KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains belonging to the sequence type 25 (ST25) clone was reported recently in Northwest Argentina as a leading cause of nosocomial in...

Immunology for physicists

The immune system is a complex system of cells and molecules that can provide us with a basic defense against pathogenic organisms. Like the nervous system, the immune system performs pattern recognition tasks, learns, and retains a memory ...

Basic Immunology

A knowledge of immunology is essential in developing ELISAs. Information about the specific system and similar systems already studied from the biochemical and immunological aspects is important to allow development of assays and to determi...

Carbon dioxide uptake in a eutrophic stratified reservoir: Freshwater carbon sequestration potential

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, ...

Uncertainties in the effects of organic aerosol coatings on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations and their estimated health effects

We used the CAM5 model to examine how different particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation approaches affect the spatial distribution of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Three approaches were evaluated: NOA (no effect of OA coati...

Coal mine methane emissions quantification based on vehicle-based monitoring

Obtaining accurate emissions of methane (CH_4), one of the most important non-carbon-dioxide greenhouse gases, is the basis for formulating and validating emission reduction policies. In terms of shortcomings from the "bottom-up" approach, ...
