Emerging biology of sphingosine-1-phosphate: its role in pathogenesis and therapy

TL;DR: The availability of pharmacological tools as well as mouse genetic models has revealed several physiological actions of S1P and begun to shed light on its pathological roles, providing novel opportunities for therapeutic intervention with possibilities to target not only GPCRs but also transporters, metabolic enzymes, and chaperones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation, vitamin B6 and related pathways.

TL;DR: The active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), serves as a co-factor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions, and is inversely associated with numerous inflammatory markers in clinical and population-based studies.

Mutations in sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase cause nephrosis with ichthyosis and adrenal insufficiency

Svjetlana Lovric, +77 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that SGPL1 mutations cause a syndromic form of Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, which causes chronic kidney disease cases in patients with SRNS.

Protective and pathogenic functions of macrophage subsets

TL;DR: The four stages of orderly inflammation mediated by macrophages are discussed: recruitment to tissues; differentiation and activation in situ; conversion to suppressive cells; and restoration of tissue homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of the blood–brain barrier

TL;DR: The structure and function of the BBB is summarised, the physical barrier formed by the endothelial tight junctions, and the transport barrier resulting from membrane transporters and vesicular mechanisms are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principles of bioactive lipid signalling: lessons from sphingolipids

TL;DR: An understanding of the complex pathways of sphingolipid metabolism and the mechanisms that regulate lipid generation and lipid action is required to understand the mechanisms of cell growth, death, senescence, adhesion, migration, inflammation, angiogenesis and intracellular trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of Monocytes, Macrophages, and Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: The current understanding of myeloid lineage development is reviewed and the developmental pathways and cues that drive differentiation are described, which are central to the development of immunologic memory and tolerance in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophils and immunity: challenges and opportunities.

TL;DR: Neutrophils inform and shape immune responses, contribute to the repair of tissue as well as its breakdown, use killing mechanisms that enrich the concepts of specificity, and offer exciting opportunities for the treatment of neoplastic, autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
