Recently, it was found that EVs are very important for tumor development, the cardiovascular system, and the immune system[1, 12]. In addition, there are many studies about the effects of EVs on reproductive processes such as gametogenesis, hormone secretion, and embryo development. This review...
DownLoad: Full-Size Img PowerPoint As activation of the AhR causes a decrease in IL-1β production by reducing the mRNA level of NLRP3, an inflammasome component[57], we next determined the NLRP3 level in cells treated with Cd (Figure 4G). As a result, the NLRP3 mRNA level decreased...
DownLoad: Full-Size Img PowerPoint We next examined the core gut microbiomes across different groups. The core 64 bacterial OTUs present in all the groups were identified (Fig. 7; Additional file 1: Table S7). In this case, the core genera with high abundance is still those 4 genera, ...
Immunoglobulins are part of the adaptive immune system; they can reflect the state of disease through great variation in circulating concentrations over time [23]. In the present study, SARS-CoV-2-infected patients were classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of COVID-19-...
