Peripheral Neutrophil Functions and Cell Signalling in Crohn`s Disease
The role of the innate immunity in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD), an inflammatory bowel disease, is a subject of increasing interest. Neutrophils (PMN) are key members of the innate immune system which migrate to sites of bacterial infection and initiate the defence against microbes by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), before undergoing apoptosis. It is believed that impaired ...
متن کاملp38 MAPK and PI3K/AKT signalling cascades in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition which has the second largest incidence rate among all other neurodegenerative disorders barring Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently there is no cure and researchers continue to probe the therapeutic prospect in cell cultures and animal models of PD. Out of several factors contributing to PD prognosis, the role of p38 MAPKs (mitog...
متن کاملPinworm Infestation Mimicking Crohns' Disease
We here report a case of a young man who presented to his general practitioner with diarrhea. Inflammatory bowel disease was suspected and a colonoscopy showed aphthous lesions suggestive of Crohns' disease but biopsies revealed eggs of Enterobius vermicularis. When treated for this parasite, his symptoms were alleviated and a followup colonoscopy revealed a normal colon and distal ileum. Enter...

Tel: +44 (0) 1865 224829; Fax: +44 (0) 1865 790792; E-mail: [email protected] The genetics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an area of enormous topical interest. Crohn’s disease is one of the first polygenic diseases in which a susceptibility gene (NOD2 ) ...
متن کاملNotch signalling in the regulation of peripheral T-cell function.
The Notch signalling pathway plays a highly-conserved role in regulating the cellular differentiation and proliferation events that characterise pattern formation in the embryo. As cells in the embryo respond to environmental signals, similarly T-cells in the peripheral immune system must monitor their environment for antigens and respond accordingly by entering one of several potential differe...
