(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-06)Background: Due to the pleiotropic effects of nitric oxide (NO) within the lungs, it is likely that NO is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was ... -
NK cells with KIR2DS2 immunogenotype have a functional activation advantage to efficiently kill glioblastoma and prolong animal survival
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Glioblastomas (GBMs) are lethal brain cancers that are resistant to current therapies. We investigated the cytotoxicity of human allogeneic NK cells against patient-derived GBM in vitro and in vivo, as well as mechanisms ... -
NLRP3 inflammasome deficiency attenuates metabolic disturbances involving alterations in the gut microbial profile in mice exposed to high fat diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Obesity-related diseases (e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disorders) represent an increasing health problem worldwide. NLRP3 inflammasome activation may underlie obesity-induced inflammation and insulin ... -
NLRP3 inflammasome promotes myocardial remodeling during diet-induced obesity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-16)Background: Obesity is an increasingly prevalent metabolic disorder in the modern world and is associated with structural and functional changes in the heart. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an innate immune sensor that can be ... -
NMDA receptor-dependent regulation of miRNA expression and association with Argonaute during LTP in vivo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-13)microRNAs (miRNAs) are major regulators of protein synthesis in the brain. A major goal is to identify changes in miRNA expression underlying protein synthesis-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term ... -
No association between osteoporosis and AO classification of distal radius fractures: an observational study of 289 patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12)Background: It is mechanically plausible that osteoporosis leads to more severe peripheral fractures, but studies investigating associations between BMD and radiographically verified complexity of distal radius fractures ... -
No association of tobacco use and disease activity in multiple sclerosis
