Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cell-derived exosomes induce phenotypic and functional maturation of dendritic cells and elicit specific immune responses in vivo.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a heretofore unrecognized collaborative interaction between MCs and DCs leading to the elicitation of specific immune responses, including 60- and 70-kDa heat shock proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-17-producing T helper cells in autoimmunity.

TL;DR: The current knowledge on T(H)17 in autoimmunity is summarized with emphasis on its differentiation factors and some mechanisms involved in initiating pathological events of autoIMmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Posttranslational modification of human glyoxalase 1 indicates redox-dependent regulation.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that Glo1 activity directly can be regulated by an oxidative posttranslational modification that was found in the native enzyme, i.e, glutathionylation, which is expected to be important factors within the context of redox-dependent regulation of glucose metabolism in cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral small vessel disease-induced Apolipoprotein E leakage is associated with Alzheimer disease and the accumulation of amyloid [beta]-protein in perivascular astrocytes

TL;DR: The occurrence of apoE and immunoglobulin G in SVD lesions and in the perivascular space suggests that the presence of SVD results in plasma-protein leakage into the brain.
