A Phase I Clinical Trial of the Treatment of Crohn’s Fistula by Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation

TL;DR: The results indicate that the protocol is feasible and safe for the treatment of fistulas in Crohn’s disease, and is the first report of a clinical trial of cell therapy using autologous stem cells obtained from a lipoaspirate.
Journal ArticleDOI

High concentration of branched-chain amino acids promotes oxidative stress, inflammation and migration of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells via mTORC1 activation.

TL;DR: Elevated BCAA blood levels can promote the activation of circulating PBMCs, by a mechanism that involving ROS production and NF‐&kgr;B pathway activation, which suggest that high concentrations of BCAA could exert deleterious effects on circulating blood cells and therefore contribute to the pro‐inflammatory and oxidative status observed in several pathophysiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial dysfunction in aged humans is related with oxidative stress and vascular inflammation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the age‐dependent endothelial dysfunction in human vessels is due to the combined effect of oxidative stress and vascular wall inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms involved in the aging-induced vascular dysfunction.

TL;DR: Prevention or reversion of those mechanisms leading to endothelial dysfunction through life style modifications or pharmacological interventions could markedly improve cardiovascular health in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular PBEF/NAMPT/visfatin activates pro-inflammatory signalling in human vascular smooth muscle cells through nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity

TL;DR: Through its intrinsic NAMPT activity, ePBEF/NAMPT/visfatin appears to be a direct contributor to vascular inflammation, a key feature of atherothrombotic diseases linked to metabolic disorders.
