Neutrophils are highly abundant innate immune cells that are important in immediate responses to injury and infection, and secrete the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Inflammatory cytokines have many potent effects and their excess or deficiency may have many clinical...

The Effect of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Neurological Outcomes Following Resuscitation from Cardiac Arrest
DownloadSpring 2016
Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) is a relatively new therapy used to treat those resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The purpose of the therapy is to attenuate any neurological damage resulting from the arrest, thereby increasing survival and improving subsequent quality of life. The current evidence...

Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), a pro-inflammatory G-coupled receptor, is activated by exogenous or endogenous serine proteinases. PAR-2 is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases including asthma. PAR-2 activation on airway epithelial cells (AECs) results in the release of...

ENDOTHELIAL CELL HETEROGENEITY: A CORRELATION WITH THE VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR EXPRESSION IN DISTINCT ORGANS
DownloadSpring 2017
Endothelial cells (EC) of different organs exhibit heterogeneity in structure, function and gene expression pattern. This also extends to the pattern in which the highly endothelial-specific gene, von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is expressed. VWF is a multimeric adhesive, pro-coagulant glycoprotein...
