The deregulated and prolonged activation of monocytes improves inflammatory disease outcomes.
The myeloid transcription factor KLF2 regulates the host response to polymicrobial infection and endotoxic shock.. Precise control of myeloid cell activation is required for optimal host defense. However, this activation process must be under exquisite control to prevent uncontrolled inflammation. Herein, we identify t...
[ "Bacterial RNA and small antiviral compounds activate caspase-1 through cryopyrin/Nalp3. Missense mutations in the CIAS1 gene cause three autoinflammatory disorders: familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, Muckle–Wells syndrome and neonatal-onset multiple-system inflammatory disease. Cryopyrin (also called Nalp3),...

what causes death from Covid-19?
Acute respiratory distress syndrome-attributable mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis. PURPOSE: Previous studies assessing impact of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on mortality have shown conflicting results. We sought to assess the independent association of ARDS with in-hospital mortality amon...
[ "Ebola virus disease and critical illness. As of 20 May 2016 there have been 28,646 cases and 11,323 deaths resulting from the West African Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak reported to the World Health Organization. There continue to be sporadic flare-ups of EVD cases in West Africa. EVD presentation is nonspecif...

In British Men, haplogroup I decreases risk of cardiovascular disease.
Inheritance of coronary artery disease in men: an analysis of the role of the Y chromosome. BACKGROUND A sexual dimorphism exists in the incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease--men are more commonly affected than are age-matched women. We explored the role of the Y chromosome in coronary artery disease in ...

Induced hepatic stem cells possess the potential to differentiate into hepatocytic cells.
Reprogramming fibroblasts into bipotential hepatic stem cells by defined factors.. Recent studies have demonstrated direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into a range of somatic cell types, but to date stem or progenitor cells have only been reprogrammed for the blood and neuronal lineages. We previously reported generat...

Beta-cell replacement is considered to be the most promising approach for treatment of type 1 diabetes. Its application on a large scale is hindered by a shortage of cells for tran...

The gene daf-16, which encodes forkhead Box O (FOXO), is required for all phenotypes associated with reduced insulin/insulin-like growth factor (Igf) signaling.
DAF-16/FOXO employs the chromatin remodeller SWI/SNF to promote stress resistance and longevity. Organisms are constantly challenged by stresses and privations and require adaptive responses for their survival. The forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factor DAF-16 (hereafter referred to as DAF-16/FOXO) is a central nex...

Sterol-sensing nuclear receptors and insulin-like growth factor signaling play evolutionarily conserved roles in the control of aging. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, bile acid-like steroid hormone...

Cytochrome c is transferred from cytosol to the mitochondrial intermembrane space during apoptosis.
At the gates of death.. Apoptosis that proceeds via the mitochondrial pathway involves mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), responsible for the release of cytochrome c and other proteins of the mitochondrial intermembrane space. This essential step is controlled and mediated by proteins of the Bcl-2 fa...
[ "The Opa1-Dependent Mitochondrial Cristae Remodeling Pathway Controls Atrophic, Apoptotic, and Ischemic Tissue Damage. Mitochondrial morphological and ultrastructural changes occur during apoptosis and autophagy, but whether they are relevant in vivo for tissue response to damage is unclear. Here we investigate the...

Cnn1 recruitment varies with cell cycle timing.
Cnn1 inhibits the interactions between the KMN complexes of the yeast kinetochore. Kinetochores attach the replicated chromosomes to the mitotic spindle and orchestrate their transmission to the daughter cells. Kinetochore–spindle binding and chromosome segregation are mediated by the multi-copy KNL1Spc105, MIS12Mtw1 a...
