Bone Metastases: Molecular Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Interventions

TL;DR: Based on the recent literature and data, the need for designing novel agents that will efficiently disrupt interactions among cancer cells and bone microenvironment is seen, bringing hope for more effective treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenic roles of tumor necrosis factor receptor p55-mediated signals in dimethylnitrosamine-induced murine liver fibrosis.

TL;DR: In this article, 10 mg/kg of dimethylnitrosamine, a specific hepatotoxicant, was administered twice a week into the peritoneal cavity of both TNFRp55 knock-out (KO) and wild-type mice, and the severity of fibrosis was monitored histologically and biochemically.
Journal ArticleDOI

New chemokine targets for asthma therapy

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo experimental studies in murine models of asthma as well as evidence from patients with asthma confirm the role of these chemokines and their receptors, establishing a subset of chemokine/chemokine receptor that is potentially important in allergic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissecting the role of infections in atopic dermatitis.

TL;DR: Clinical studies and further efforts in basic research are needed to elucidate the different interactions of the skin immune system and microbes in atopic dermatitis, and to break the vicious circle of cutaneous inflammation.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in haematopoiesis and in cerebellar development

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the involvement of a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system and may be important for designing strategies to block HIV entry into cells and for understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis in AIDS dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects of B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiesis in mice lacking the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that the chemokine PBSF/SDF-1 has several essential functions in development, including B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiedis and a cardiac ventricular septal defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of membrane-bound chemokine with a CX3C motif

TL;DR: The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokines that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.
