Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy the Impact of T-helper 1 Cytokine (TNF-α) Polymorphisms on Susceptibility/Resistance to Brucellosis in Makkah RegionAlaa B. Ismael, Adil Mergani, Salama A-H Mostafa, Abdelmoneim M. SalimPolymorphisms in the regulatory regions of cytokine genes may not only increase susceptibility to some infectious diseases but also affect the course and prognosis of the disease. TNF-α is considered an important Th1 cytokines that plays critical roles in control of Brucella infection and in macrophage activation. In this study, we are going to analyze the relationship of two polymorphisms … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 9 Aug 2016 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Inflammation in Development and Therapy of Malignant MesotheliomaArti Shukla, Jill MillerMalignant Mesothelioma (MM) is an asbestos related malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic approaches. The pathogenesis of MM has been linked to asbestos induced inflammation. Asbestos exposure results in reactive oxygen species generation, infiltration of inflammatory cells and prolonged release of multiple cytokines, oxidants and growth factors. The role of inflammation in MM has led to the evaluation … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,437 accessesView PDFCite
