TNF is a protein your body needs to cause inflammation that helps protect you against infections and cancer. But too much TNF can lead to chronic inflammation and inflammatory diseases, including various forms of arthritis. If you have an autoimmune or inflammatory disease and high TNF alpha, tak...
In recent years, C-reactive protein (CRP), long associated with inflammation, has emerged as a clinical marker for acute coronary artery disease (CAD). Acute CAD is also associated with widespread neutrophil activation, suppressed neutrophil apoptosis and prolonged survival, nitrosative stress, ...
inflammationVLDLatherogenesisdietary interventionApoptotic cell death contributes to atherosclerotic lesion instability, rupture, and thrombogenicity. Recent findings suggest that free cholesterol (FC) accumulation in macrophages induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress/unfolded protein response (UPR) and ...
serine, threonine, or directly to the protein N-terminus. Ubiquitin is a small (+/-8.6 kDa) protein expressed across almost all tissue types. Ubiquitination is an enzymatic reaction catalyzed by a three-enzyme cascade (E1, E2, and E3). That provi...
cellular damage and inflammation, leading to disruption of OSN function [93]. However, preclinical studies demonstrate that when nasally administered, the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein spreads to multiple brain areas with the highest entry into the OB [94], indicating OSNs possibly...
Your immune system sends blood, fluid, and protein to a damaged or infected area. Swelling and heat are stimulated to protect and repair damaged tissue. Once you heal, the mission is complete. The inflammation should then vanish along with the infection. ...
cause protein fragmentation, resulting in fragments of lower molecular weights. Some proteins are more susceptible to degradation than others. The choice of cell/tissue lysis buffers and lysis conditions, along with supplementation with protease inhibitors, ar...
