In vivo properties of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.

TL;DR: Results indicate that M CP‐1 expression at low levels in an anatomically confined area results in monocyte infiltration, suggesting that when properly expressed, MCP‐1's in vitro properties are reproduced in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming Growth Factor–β Signaling in T Cells Promotes Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaques Through an Interleukin-17–Dependent Pathway

TL;DR: It is reported that transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β) promotes plaque stabilization through the effects of interleukin-17 (IL-17), and this data link IL-17A to induction of a stable plaque phenotype, could lead to new plaque-stabilizing therapies, and should prompt an evaluation of cardiovascular events in patients treated with IL- 17 receptor blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inflammasome in pathogen recognition and inflammation

TL;DR: It is proposed that membrane disruption leads to activation of the inflammasome, and the role of these molecules in host defense against pathogens and in autoinflammatory disorders is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How are T(H)1 and T(H)2 effector cells made

TL;DR: In this paper, the lineage specific genes are modified with epigenetic modifications, which result in the emergence of regulatory elements, which control high level lineage restricted expression by both intrachromosomal and interchromosomal associations.
