Chemokines and the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain.
Chemokines and chemokine receptors are widely expressed by cells of the immune and nervous systems. This review focuses on our current knowledge concerning the role of chemokines in the pathophysiology of chronic pain syndromes. Injury- or disease-induced changes in the expression of diverse chemokines and their receptors have been demonstrated in the neural and nonneural elements of pain pathw...
متن کاملThe Fire Within: Microbes Inflame Tumors
The immune system and the microbiota mutually interact to maintain homeostasis in the intestine. However, components of the microbiota can alter this balance and promote chronic inflammation, promoting intestinal tumor development. We review recent advances in understanding the complex interactions between the microbiota and the innate and adaptive immune systems and discuss their potential to ...
متن کاملStressed hearts inflame the body (in a good way).
Heart failure is a global health problem, with an estimated 30–50 million patients diagnosed worldwide (1, 2). Therapeutic advances have reduced early mortality; however, morbidity caused by damaged or failing ventricles remains high. Indeed, heart failure is the most common cause for hospitalization in elderly individuals, with recalcitrant 5-y survival rates remaining worse than most cancers ...
متن کاملInflame my heart (by p38-MAPK).
Although many studies have explored the stimuli which promote hypertrophic growth or death in cardiac myocytes and the signaling pathways which they activate, the mechanisms by which these pathways promote the pathophysiological responses are still obscure. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades (in which MAPKs are phosphorylated and activated by upstream MAPK kinases [MKKs] which...
متن کاملInflame my plaque (inflammation and atherosclerosis)
Monocytes are a key cell type responsible for the generation of atherosclerosis. Monocytes/macrophages also play key roles in plaque growth and plaque instability. In contrast, recent research has demonstrated that macrophages can also suppress inflammation and promote healing and fibrosis. Some of this complexity relates to the presence of different macrophage subtypes that are induced and act...
