A key aspect of studying the immune system involves analyzing cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors—molecules that regulate immune responses and influence disease progression. ...
A Luminex Cytokine Panel allows the simultaneous quantification of multiple cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in a single sample. ...
Cytokine Classification Cytokines are categorized into various subtypes, including interleukins (IL), interferons (IFN), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), colony-stimulating factor (CSF), chemokines, and growth factors (GF). ...
In order to maintain efficient growth, proliferation, and differentiation during in vitro cell culture, many cell cultures require the addition of various cytokines. ...
N-terminally truncated IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ are 1000 to 10,000 times more active than the non-truncated cytokines, and the antagonistic activity of IL-36Ra depends on the removal of its N-terminal glutamic acid. ...
These three signaling pathways collectively mediate cell growth, survival, activation, and the induction of differentiation and death. ...
Tumors include not only cancer cells but also extracellular matrix (ECM), stromal cells (e.g., fibroblasts and mesenchymal stromal cells), vascular networks and immune cells such as T and B cells, NK cells, and various immunosuppressive cells such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), all of which constitute the tumor microenvironment (TME). TME ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) differentiate towards multiple lineages that participate in bone formation and are often utilized for bone regeneration therapy. A 2019 review by Lee et al. explores the endogenous mechanical and biochemical environment of MSCs. Additionally, the article highlights the essential factors that lead to bone repair and how these factors can be leveraged to improve bone ...
The isolated cells were characterized with respect to viability, growth kinetics, cytokine production, and phenotype. 3D bioprinted liver tissue was generated using either NPCs isolated from diseased donors combined with non-diseased hepatocytes, or hepatocytes isolated from diseased donors combined with non-diseased NPCs. 3D bioprinted liver tissue generated ...
Combined Low-Dose Radon- and Hyperthermia Therapy (LDRnHT) causes pain reduction in patients with AS and induces the cytokine transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). TGF-β1 acts as an anti-inflammatory cytokine and influences the OPG/RANK/RANKL system. We therefore performed a study on 33 AS patients to investigate the effect of LDRnHT on serum ...
Recently, we reported that stabilin-2 is a PS receptor that mediates the clearance of apoptotic cells, thus releasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine, transforming growth factor β. In this study, we showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain repeats (EGFrp) in stabilin-2 can directly and specifically recognize PS. ...
Here we examined how the Notch pathway cross talks with signaling for growth factors and cytokines in controlling the self-renewal and differentiation of NSCs. Both Notch and growth factors were required for active proliferation of NSCs, but each of these signals was sufficient and independent of the other to inhibit differentiation of neurons ...
The reduced migratory velocity and migratory directionality was rescued by either c-Jun reintroduction or addition of secreted factors from wild-type cells. An unbiased analysis of cytokines and growth factors, differentially expressed and showing loss of secretion upon c-jun deletion, identified stem cell factor (SCF) as a c-Jun target gene. ...
