How allergens trigger the T helper 2 (Th2) response that ILC2s [2], these cells secrete very little IL-4 protein [3]. ILC2 characterizes allergic lung inflammation is not well un- derstood. Epithelium-derived alarmins released after an... more
Inflammatory episodes observed in multiple sclerosis are characterized by perivascular infiltration of central nervous system (CNS) tissue by circulating leucocytes directed by chemokines and activation of both microglia and astrocytes.... more
Adipose tissue resident macrophages have important roles in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and regulate insulin sensitivity for example by secreting pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory cytokines. Here, we show that M2-like... more
Di¡erential e¡ect of Cryptococcus neoformans on the production of IL-12p40 and IL-10 by murine macrophages stimulated with
<p>(A) The initial oxidative DNA damage was measured in monocytes and macrophages using an FPG-modified alkaline Comet assay. Cells were treated with PMA for 15 min and then incubated for additional 45 min in PMA free medium.... more
Adipose tissue resident macrophages have important roles in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and regulate insulin sensitivity for example by secreting pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory cytokines. Here, we show that M2-like... more
The NF-kB pathway plays an important role in regulating the immunity response in animals. In this study, small interfering RNAs (siRNA) were used to specifically inhibit NF-kB 1 expression and to elucidate the role of NF-kB in the signal... more
Breast cancer is the leading causes of cancer-related death among women. The vast majority of breast cancers are carcinomas that originate from cells lining the milk-forming ducts of the mammary gland. Numerous articles indicate that... more
ABSTRACTTrehalose 6,6′-dimycolate (TDM) is a cell wall glycolipid and an important virulence factor of mycobacteria. In order to study the role of TDM in the innate immune response toMycobacterium tuberculosis, microarray analysis was... more
Megakaryocytopoiesis is the process by which stem cells go through a process of commitment, proliferation and differentiation leading to the production of platelets. In the mouse, this process is accomplished within the bone marrow (BM)... more
Pneumocystis is a respiratory fungal pathogen that causes pneumonia (PcP) in immunocompromised patients. Alveolar macrophages are critical effectors for CD4(+) T cell-dependent clearance of Pneumocystis, and prior studies found that... more
Immunopathology plays important roles in the development of different life-threatening diseases, such as atherosclerosis and its consequences (acute myocardial infarction and stroke), cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases. Effective... more
Periodontal disease is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition characterised by an aberrant host response to a pathogenic plaque biofilm resulting in local tissue damage and frustrated healing that can result in tooth loss. Cysteine... more
Iron oxide nanoparticles/microparticles are widely present in a variety of environments, e.g., as a byproduct of steel and iron degradation, as, for example, in railway brakes (e.g., metro station) or in welding fumes. As all particulate... more
Proceedings: AACR 103rd Annual Meeting 2012‐‐ Mar 31‐Apr 4, 2012; Chicago, IL Macrophages are key players in the inflammatory response and exhibit significant roles in the different stages of tumor progression. We have previously reported... more
Knowlege of the mechanism of atherosclerosis in chronic and inflammatory diseases is important in health care management. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 17.9 million people die from atherosclerosis annually.... more
Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is a deep-tissue imaging modality, with potential clinical applications in the diagnosis of arthritis, cancer and other disease conditions. Here, we identified Clofazimine (CFZ), a red-pigmented dye and... more
Macrophages are pivotal cells of the immune system and play a key role in the host defence mechanism against pathogens. To date, the importance of macrophages and the role of humoral response in eliciting macrophage activity against... more
