TL;DR: It is shown here that high S100B stimulates murine microglia migration in Boyden chambers via RAGE-dependent activation of Src kinase, Ras, PI3K, MEK/ERK1/2, RhoA/ROCK, Rac1/JNK/AP-1, Rac 1/NF-κB, and, to a lesser extent, p38 MAPK.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine if an H2S‐releasing derivative of mesalamine (ATB‐429) would exhibit increased potency and effectiveness in a mouse model of colitis.
Abstract: Background and Purpose:
Mesalamine is the first-line therapy for colitis, but it lacks potency and is only effective for mild-to-moderate forms of this disease. Hydrogen sulphide has been shown to be a potent, endogenous anti-inflammatory substance, modulating leukocyte-endothelial adhesion and leukocyte migration. The purpose of this study was to determine if an H2S-releasing derivative of mesalamine (ATB-429) would exhibit increased potency and effectiveness in a mouse model of colitis.
Experimental Approach:
Colitis was induced in mice with trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid and the effects of ATB-429 and mesalamine were compared in several treatment regimens. The severity of colitis was determined using several indices, including a disease activity score (comprised of scores for diarrhea, weight loss and fecal blood), colonic myeloperoxidase activity and macroscopic/microscopic scoring of tissue injury.
Key Results:
Irrespective of the treatment regiment, ATB-429 was more effective than mesalamine in reducing the severity of colitis. ATB-429 was particularly effective in reducing granulocyte infiltration into the colonic tissue (by ∼70%), as well as reducing the expression of mRNA for several key proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines (e.g., TNFα, IFNγ). Treatment with ADT-OH, the H2S-releasing moiety of ATB-429, did not affect severity of colitis.
Conclusions and Implications:
ATB-429 exhibits a marked increase in anti-inflammatory activity and potency in a murine model of colitis, as compared to mesalamine. These results are consistent with recently described anti-inflammatory effects of H2S. ATB-429 may represent an attractive alternative to mesalamine for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of aerogel windows in interspace for energy saving in buildings and showed that monolithic aerogels showed the best performance with respect to granular systems, both for light transmittance and thermal insulation.
