Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells induce immunomodulatory macrophages which protect from experimental colitis and sepsis

TL;DR: ASCs induce a distinct regulatory activation state of macrophages which possess potent immunomodulatory ability and therapeutic potential in inflammatory bowel diseases and sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human amnion favours tissue repair by inducing the M1‐to‐M2 switch and enhancing M2 macrophage features

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the beneficial effects observed when these cells are used in therapeutic approaches in vivo and evidence that macrophages re‐educated by CM improve tissue regeneration/repair in wound‐healing models is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glial Innate Immunity Generated by Non-Aggregated Alpha-Synuclein in Mouse: Differences between Wild-type and Parkinson's Disease-Linked Mutants

TL;DR: Findings might contribute to explain the differences in the onset and progression of this highly debilitating disease, which could be of value in the development of rational approaches towards effective control of immune responses that are associated with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropeptides kill African trypanosomes by targeting intracellular compartments and inducing autophagic-like cell death

TL;DR: Neuropeptides exerted their trypanolytic activity through an unusual mechanism that involves peptide uptake by the parasite, disruption of lysosome integrity and cytosolic accumulation of glycolytic enzymes, which promotes an energetic metabolism failure that initiates an autophagic-like cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropeptides as pleiotropic modulators of the immune response.

TL;DR: The vasoactive intestinal peptide is used as an example of an immunomodulatory neuropeptide to summarize the most relevant data found for other neuropepeptides with similar characteristics, including adrenomedullin, urocortin, cortistatin and ghrelin.
