Dendritic cells and adipose tissue.
(2016-12)Visceral adipose tissue inflammation in obesity is an established risk factor for metabolic syndrome, which can include insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. With obesity and related ... -
Differential sensitivity of inflammatory macrophages and alternatively activated macrophages to ferroptosis.
(2021-07-17)Acumulation of oxidized membrane lipids ultimately results in ferroptotic cell death, which can be prevented by the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4). In vivo conditions promoting ferroptosis and susceptible ... -
Ligand Bias and Its Association With Pro-resolving Actions of Melanocortin Drugs.
(2018)Resolution Pharmacology identifies drugs developed on the biology of the resolution phase of inflammation, the complex molecular and cellular network of events that ensure the tight temporal and spatial control on the ... -
MAY INFLAMMATION BE WITH YOU!
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-09-21)The Pillars of Inflammation The word inflammation comes from the Latin word inflammare (meaning “to set on fire”). The Roman writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus, who lived in the 1st century AD, was the first to describe the ... -
Melanocortin receptors as novel effectors of macrophage responses in inflammation.
(2011)Macrophages have crucial functions in initiating the inflammatory reaction in a strict temporal and spatial manner to provide a "clear-up" response required for resolution. Hormonal peptides such as melanocortins modulate ...
