Effects of interleukin-17 on mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro / Uticaj interleukina-17 na mezenhimske matične ćelije kostne srži miša u in vitro uslovima
(Univerzitet u Beogradu, Medicinski fakultet, 2015)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that are found in many tissues where they play an important role in maintaining the tissue homeostasis. Due to their enormous potential in tissue regeneration, ...
Chokeberry Juice Containing Polyphenols Does Not Affect Cholesterol or Blood Pressure but Modifies the Composition of Plasma Phospholipids Fatty Acids in Individuals at Cardiovascular Risk
(MDPI, Basel, 2019)
Chokeberry polyphenols have been suggested to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and thus protect against cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the evidence in humans is limited and inconsistent. This randomized double-blinded ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is an endogenous regulator of stress-induced extramedullary erythropoiesis
(Springer, New York, 2016)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a well-known proinflammatory cytokine that is released during systemic stress response. Although MIF can affect erythrocyte production, the role of this cytokine in stress-induced ...
First Report on Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Study in Blood Donors
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2016)
Aim: To provide the first data on the prevalence and basic demographic risk factors for human Toxoplasma gondii infection in the Banja Luka region, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Methods: Analysis of serological and ...
Novel Patents and Cancer Therapies for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator: Potential Use of Their Interplay in Tumorigenesis
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays different roles in health and disease. TGF-beta has been assumed as a dual factor in tumor growth, since it can repress epithelial tumor development in early stages, while ...
Hydatidosis of the central nervous system in central and Eastern Europe
(Hydatidosis of the Central Nervous System: Diagnosis & Treatment, 2014)
Hydatidosis (also known as echinococcosis or hydatid disease) is one of Europe's neglected infections of poverty. Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is endemic in Southwestern and Eastern parts of Europe. Although alveolar ...
Inflammatory Cytokines Prime Adipose Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Enhance Malignancy of MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells via Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose tissue (hASCs) are proposed as suitable tools for soft tissue engineering and reconstruction. Although it is known that hASCs have the ability to home to sites of inflammation and ...
The inhibition of periodontal ligament stem cells osteogenic differentiation by IL-17 is mediated via MAPKs
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Periodontal disease (PD), a degenerative bacterially induced disease of periodontium, can lead to bone resorption and teeth loss. Development of PD includes a strong inflammatory reaction, which involves multiple immune ...
Doxycycline Inhibits IL-17-Stimulated MMP-9 Expression by Downregulating ERK1/2 Activation: Implications in Myogenic Differentiation
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2016)
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a cytokine with pleiotropic effects associated with several inflammatory diseases. Although elevated levels of IL-17 have been described in inflammatory myopathies, its role in muscle remodeling ...
In vitro effects of IL-17 on angiogenic properties of endothelial cells in relation to oxygen levels
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
The aim of this study has been to elucidate how different oxygen levels impact the effects of Interleukin-17 (IL-17) on angiogenic properties of endothelial cells. Two endothelial cell lines, mouse MS-1 and human EA.hy ...
