Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) plays a critical role in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. Lipopolysaccharide from Pg (Pg-LPS) could lead to pyroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and induce instability of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore, pyroptosis of VSMCs could promote

BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury is a serious intestinal disease, with main symptoms of inflammatory reaction and severe oxidative damage. In addition, GTS-21-induced alpha7 nAChR has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects and anti-oxidation effects in various organs. However, whether alpha7

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the worst prognostic cancers. Here, we probed the anti-cancer activity of wogonoside (Wog), a flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, on PC, as well as potential molecular mechanism. Following Wog stimulation, the viability, proliferation
Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceaes) leaves have been used traditionally to treat swelling and rheumatism in Indian cultures. To fractionate A. indica leaf extracts using bioactivity guided manner for identification of the active anti-inflammatory principles. Polarity-gradient sequential extracts (petroleum ether
Proinflammatory cytokines detectable in synovial fluids from patients with temporomandibular disorders.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the main pathology behind most cardiovascular diseases and the overactivation of macrophages initiates the development of atherosclerosis. However, the specific functions of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in macrophages remain elusive. Macrophages derived from

The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in atherosclerosis remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine whether inhibition of NLRP3 signaling by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference could reduce atherosclerosis and stabilizes plaques. We also tried to explore the mechanisms
Advanced breast cancer is associated with the development of incurable bone metastasis. The two key processes involved, tumour cell homing to and subsequent colonisation of bone, remain to be clearly defined. Genetic studies have indicated that different genes facilitate homing
