CCL2 deficient mesenchymal stem cells fail to establish long-lasting contact with T cells and no longer ameliorate lupus symptoms
It is demonstrated that CCL2 enables the prolonged MSC–T cell interactions needed for sufficient suppression of autoreactive T cells and helps to understand how MSCs ameliorate symptoms in lupus-prone MRL.
Dendritic Cell Activation by Glucan Isolated from Umbilicaria Esculenta
Results indicate that PUE induced dendritic cells maturation via MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, which suggested that P UE was free of LPS contamination.
Validation of cyclooxygenase-2 as a direct anti-inflammatory target of 4-O-methylhonokiol in zymosan-induced animal models
The data suggest that COX-2 may be a direct anti-inflammatory target of 4-O-methylhonokiol in vitro and in vivo.
