Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effects of Propolis on Gamma-Irradiated Nigella sativa Extract Induced Blood and Immune Changes in Wistar RatsOsama Moseilhy Saleh, Mohamed Mohamed Soliman, Ahmed Abdel-Khalik Mansour, Omniya Mahmoud Abdel-HamidThe present study conducted to test the effect of Nigella Sativa (NS, 5 mg kg-1 of body weight), or γ-irradiated Nigella Sativa (GRNS) on the changes of blood component profiles, liver, kidney functions and immune cytokines secretion in male Wistar rats. Moreover, the possible protection by propolis (200 mg kg-1 B. W.) on the changes induced by NS and GRNS … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMelanoma-Associated Suppression of the Dendritic Cell Lines DC2.4 and JawsiiKristian Michael Hargadon, Yonathan Tarekegne Ararso, Osric Anthony Forrest, Chad Mason HarteDendritic cells function as potent regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity to tumors and the regulatory activities of these cells are tightly linked to their maturation and activation status. Despite the critical role played by dendritic cells in the induction of anti-tumor immune responses, the number of dendritic cells that can be isolated from experimental animals is limiting and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2012 · 9,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Heirloom Tomato Polyphenol Extracts on Expression of Inflammation Genes in BovineKwaku Gyenai, Nona Mikiashvili, Hamid Ismail, Mulumebet WorkuThe effect of tomato on diseases of economic importance continues to be of broad interest. To evaluate these relationships, the effect of crude extracts of Cherokee purple tomato on pro-inflammatory genes and cytokines were evaluated. Neutrophils from three Holstein Fresian cows were treated with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) or E. coli O111-B4 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Treated cells were exposed to different … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 25 Aug 2012 · 8,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico, In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Safety and Anti-inflammatory Activity of CurcuminM. Venkata, R. Sripathy, D. Anjana et al.Problem statement: Curcumin the active component of turmeric is known for its wide biological actions. Extensive studies on curcumin highlighted its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-coagulant activity. The anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Though curcumin and its anti-inflammatory properties are well documented, the exact mechanism of action and effective in vivo … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of IFN-Inducible Protein 10 Levels in Sera with Disease Severity and Clinical Outcome of the Dengue PatientsYing-Ray Lee, Nguyen-Thanh Hung, Ching-Chuan Liu et al.Dengue Virus (DV) infection may cause life-threatening Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Although many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of DHF/DSS have been reported, the expression status of IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in dengue patients is still unknown. This is the first report to unravel that IP-10 level was significantly elevated in the sera of Dengue Fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractT-2 Toxin Regulated Ganoderma lucidum Induced Cytokine ReleaseKazem Ahmadi, Majid RiazipourThe water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) has been used as immunomodulator to stimulate spleen cells proliferation and cytokine expression. It has also been shown that at some level of exposure, T-2 toxin typically act as immunosuppressive agent and can increase disease susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T-2 toxin on cytokine production by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Technology in Tissue EngineeringXiao-Dan Sun, In-Seop LeeScaffold, cells and signaling factors are regarded as the three essential components in tissue engineering. With the development of molecular and cell biology, gene technology is beginning to show a promising position in tissue engineering as it can influence these essential components at DNA-level. By introducing plasmid DNA or genes encoding certain signaling factors (growth factors/cytokines) into the cells, required … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,405 accessesView PDFCite

Men who are deficient in androgen hormones are more susceptible to this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reduced levels of testosterone on the lipid profile, pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages and the development of atherosclerosis in LDLr-/-mice, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 6 Dec 2019 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) on Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC)Eric Mullins, Cale Forgues, Karl KingsleyDental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are non-embryonic, mesenchymal stem cells that may have significant potential for therapeutic and regenerative biomedical applications. Studies of DPSC differentiation have demonstrated the potential to form many tissue types, including neural, osteogenic and vascular precursors using cytokines and growth factors, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Eight previously isolated Dental Pulp Stem Cell (DPSC) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2019 · 13,835 accessesView PDFCite
