Profiling of microorganism-binding serum antibody specificities in professional athletes
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2018)
The goal of this work was to elucidate similarities between microorganisms from the perspective of the humoral immune system reactivity in professional athletes. The reactivity of serum IgG of 14 young, individuals was ...
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 ...
History of exposure to dopaminergic medication does not affect motor cortex plasticity and excitability in Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2013)
Objective: Little is known whether and how chronic exposure to dopaminergic treatment alters physiological mechanisms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Two clinically similar groups of PD patients, one consisting of ...
IL-17 and FGF signaling involved in mouse mesenchymal stem cell proliferation
(Springer, New York, 2011)
The mouse is a suitable experimental model to study the biology of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as well as to be used in biocompatibility studies and tissue engineering models. However, the isolation and purification of ...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation has no placebo effect on motor learning
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2013)
Objective: Motor learning is the core cognitive function in neurorehabilitation and in various other skill-training activities (e. g. sport, music). Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the use of transcranial ...
Fatty acids binding to human serum albumin: Changes of reactivity and glycation level of Cysteine-34 free thiol group with methylglyoxal
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2014)
Fatty acids (FAs) binding to human serum albumin (HSA) could lead to the changes of Cys-34 thiol group accessibility and reactivity, i.e. its scavenger capacity and antioxidant property. The influence of saturated, mono ...
Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in naturally infected domestic pigs in Northern Serbia
(Springer, New York, 2017)
Insufficiently cooked pork is considered as an important source of human infection with Toxoplasma gondii. The aim of our study was to investigate the presence of T. gondii in pigs intended for human consumption from ...
Prenatal and Early Postnatal Diagnosis of Congenital Toxoplasmosis in a Setting With No Systematic Screening in Pregnancy
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2016)
To determine the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) and provide early (pre-or postnatal) identification of cases of CT in the absence of systematic screening in pregnancy. In the presented cross-sectional study, serological ...
