Regeneration or scarring: an immunologic perspective.
Complete regeneration of complex tissues and organs is usually precluded by fibrotic reactions that lead to scarring. Fish, salamanders, and larval anurans are among the few vertebrates capable of regenerating lost appendages, and this process seems to recapitulate ontogenic development of the structure in most respects. Recent work has revealed a capacity for excellent regeneration in certain ...
متن کاملHepatocellular carcinoma from an immunologic perspective.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third most common cancer worldwide. It is an inflammation-associated cancer. Multiple investigators have demonstrated that analysis of the tumor microenvironment may be used to predict patient outcome, indicating the importance of local immune responses in this disease. In contrast with other types of cancer, in which surgery, radiation, and systemic cytotoxic ch...
متن کاملAlternative activation of macrophages: an immunologic functional perspective.
Macrophages are innate immune cells with well-established roles in the primary response to pathogens, but also in tissue homeostasis, coordination of the adaptive immune response, inflammation, resolution, and repair. These cells recognize danger signals through receptors capable of inducing specialized activation programs. The classically known macrophage activation is induced by IFN-gamma, wh...
متن کاملRegeneration versus scarring in vertebrate appendages and heart
Injuries to complex human organs, such as the limbs and the heart, result in pathological conditions, for which we often lack adequate treatments. While modern regenerative approaches are based on the transplantation of stem cell-derived cells, natural regeneration in lower vertebrates, such as zebrafish and newts, relies predominantly on the intrinsic plasticity of mature tissues. This propert...
متن کاملDiabetes: vascular or neurodegenerative: an epidemiologic perspective.
Type 2 diabetes and cognitive impairment are 2 of the most common chronic conditions found in persons 60 years and older. After that age, approximately 18% to 20% of older persons have diabetes,1 approximately 19% suffer from mild cognitive impairment in multiple domains,2 and approximately 6% of community-dwelling individuals have some dementia.3 The prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and...
