Journal ArticleDOI

The S-100: a protein family in search of a function.

TL;DR: "In vitro" and "in vivo" experiments showed that lower (nM) concentrations of extracellular S-100 beta act on glial and neuronal cells as a growth-differentiating factor and higher concentrations of the protein induce apoptosis of some cells such as the sympathetic-like PC12 line.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age and sex influence on oxidative damage and functional status in human skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: It is concluded that oxidative stress play an important role in muscle aging and that oxidative damage is much more evident in elderly males, suggesting a gender difference maybe related to hormonal factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dexamethasone in Glioblastoma Multiforme Therapy: Mechanisms and Controversies.

TL;DR: The main clinical features and genetic and epigenetic abnormalities underlying GBM, as well as current notions and concerns related to DEX effects on cerebral oedema, cancer cell proliferation and migration and clinical outcome are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salicylates Inhibit Adhesion and Transmigration of T Lymphocytes by Preventing Integrin Activation Induced by Contact With Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: The data suggest that the antiinflammatory activity of salicylates may be due, at least in part, to an interference with the integrin-mediated binding of resting T lymphocytes to activated endothelium with consequent reduction of a specific T-cell recruitment into inflammatory sites.
