Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Chronic Heart Failure: The Roles of the Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Axis and Left-Atrial Structural and Functional Remodeling
DownloadFall 2014
Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic, with a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Effective therapies have emerged for patients suffering from HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), but not for those with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). Recently, systemic inflammation, driven by...

Comparative isolation of bacteria from inflamed sites to identify inflammation-tailored bacteria
DownloadSpring 2021
Microbial culture collections are fundamental to microbiology research. However, with the advent of next generation sequencing research, the generation and maintenance of comprehensive culture collections has become deprioritized. As such a need exists for the improved isolation of diverse...

Comparative variation within the genome of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 in human and murine hosts
Download2014
Selinger, L. Brent, Taboada, Eduardo N., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Abbott, D. Wade, Inglis, G. Douglas, Thomas, Dallas K., Lone, Abdul G.
Campylobacteriosis incited by C. jejuni is a significant enteric disease of human beings. A person working with two reference strains of C. jejuni National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) 11168 developed symptoms of severe enteritis including bloody diarrhea. The worker was determined to be...

Contributions of Bim and Nur77 to multiple mechanisms of T cell tolerance following high affinity antigen encounter
DownloadSpring 2015
Prevention of autoimmune disease requires the elimination or inactivation of T cells that are highly reactive to self-peptides. During T cell development in the thymus, self-reactive thymocytes undergo negative selection upon receiving a high affinity T cell receptor (TCR) signal following...

Development of Polymeric Micelles for Site Specific Delivery of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Effect on the Cardiovascular Risk in an Experimental Model of Arthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, are among the most widely used medications worldwide with proven efficacy in controlling inflammation and pain associated various disease conditions. The chronic systemic use of most NSAIDs, however, is...

Drug-disease interaction: effect of inflammation on the pharmacological response to calcium channel blockers
DownloadFall 2010
The present research is focused on the topic of inflammation-drug interaction. Inflammation complicates many human diseases and conditions ranging from obesity to cancer. Therefore, the study of the effect of inflammation on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is pivotal. First, we tested...

Effects of Inflammation and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Renin-Angiotensin System and Cytochrome P450 Metabolites of Arachidonic Acid
DownloadSpring 2016
Patients suffering from inflammatory disorders are at higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality compared to general population. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid...
