Spirochetes from the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.). (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) species complex, including the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, have been isolated from ticks, vertebrate reservoirs and ...
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 ...
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 ...
