  • In the immune system, the STAT3 protein regulates genes that are involved in the maturation of immune system cells, especially certain types of T cells . (medlineplus.gov)
  • T cells and other immune system cells help control the body's response to foreign invaders such as bacteria and fungi. (medlineplus.gov)
  • As cells migrate and experience forces from their surroundings, they constantly undergo mechanical deformations which reshape their plasma membrane (PM). To maintain homeostasis, cells need to detect and restore such changes, not only in terms of overall PM area and tension as previously described, but also in terms of local, nano-scale topography.

  • Fibronectin has shown to greatly avoid cell losses during experiments, calcium ionophore A23187 is an unsuitable positive control due to a fast down regulation of VLA-4 and subsequent detachment of cells. (nottingham.ac.uk)
  • In addition to inflammatory cell infiltration in the bronchial wall 1 , histological analysis of endobronchial biopsy specimens and new methods of blood flow measurements have revealed prominent alterations of the tracheobronchial (airway) vasculature in patients with asthma. (ersjournals.com)
  • These cells have both an immunologic and a nonimmunologic role in pregnancy. (medscape.com)
  • There were also significant differences in microbial composition in dust samples and in innate immune cells between the two groups of children. (medscape.com)
  • Importantly, these tissue perturbations endowed arriving cancer cells with an augmented stemness phenotype. (crick.ac.uk)
  • In the pregnant uterus, mast cell numbers increase in the myometrium and shift from both tryptase and chymase mast cells to the tryptase-only phenotype. (medscape.com)
  • Here, we show that the vaccine, termed SumayaVac-1 , elicited both a humoral and cellular immune response as well as a recall T cell memory. (nature.com)
  • We further present evidence of SumayaVac-1 eliciting a recallable cellular cytotoxicity by IFN-γ producing CD8+ T cells. (nature.com)
  • Over months to years of life the body's cells are exposed to a variety of noxious agents that cause cellular DNA changes ultimately manifesting as cancer. (thehonestkitchen.com)
  • The cellular levels of endocannabinoids [anandamide (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol] and related molecules (palmitoylethanolamide, oleoylethanolamide) were quantified in poly-(I:C)-stimulated HaCaT cells treated with CBD. (aspetjournals.org)
  • Cancer cells can exploit normal mechanisms of cellular motility to facilitate invasion and metastasis, the process by which cancer cells disseminate to distant organs. (ubc.ca)
  • They have a wide cellular and tissue distribution, and play a major role in the mediation of biological responses. (medscape.com)
  • Moreover, immune cell responses are largely affected by the mechanical properties of their tissue environment. (sfu.ca)
  • In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. (rndsystems.com)
  • We exposed healthy mouse lung tissue to radiation before the induction of metastasis and observed a strong enhancement of cancer cell growth. (crick.ac.uk)
  • To limit ensuing exacerbated cell responses and tissue damage, novel therapeutic agents are sought. (bvsalud.org)
  • This cell-mediated immune response is ultimately responsible for the widespread tissue injury, in addition to the fibrosis of the skin and the connective tissue that pervades muscles, nerves, and other organs. (medscape.com)
  • The STAT3 protein is also involved in the formation of cells that build and break down bone tissue, which could help explain why STAT3 gene mutations lead to the skeletal and dental abnormalities characteristic of this condition. (medlineplus.gov)
  • In fact, examination of muscle biopsy specimens reveals a dramatic inflammatory infiltrate that is predominantly composed of mononuclear cells and activated T cells. (medscape.com)
  • Similarly, alcohol-fed mice demonstrated significantly less IL-6 in lung lavage in response to dust than that observed in control mice instilled with HDE. (cdc.gov)
  • IgE normally triggers an immune response against foreign invaders in the body, particularly parasitic worms, and is involved in allergies. (medlineplus.gov)
