Interestingly, cachexia is not simply characterized by increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, but rather by an increase in the ratio between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines [50,51]. As a consequence, the evaluation of serum cytokines should be extended to both catego...
Survivin (also named BIRC5) is a well-known cancer therapeutic target. Since its discovery more than two decades ago, the use of survivin as a target for cancer therapeutics has remained a central goal of survivin studies in the cancer field. Many studies have provided intriguing insight into ...
What is normally present in urine? Why does a person with diabetes urinate more than the average person? If a person is diabetic, their blood will have a higher concentration of sugar than their cells. Why would this cause them to have increased thirst? What is the normal value for...
Nitric oxide, on the other hand, is formed from the conversion of L-arginine to citrulline by the action of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). The NO is implicated in the increase of mucus secretion, bicarbonate and blood flow in the gastric mucosa, as well as the inhibition of gastric acid se...

For many years, this virus has been described as a non-enveloped virus [16–18]; however, recently, another form has been identified. HEV can be "masked" by the membrane of the host cells, and be resistant to antibodies when this form is in blood [19,20]. When HEV particles were ...

A variant is represented by the U-SENS[TM] assay, formerly known as myeloid U937 skin sensitization test (MUSST), that uses U937 cells and measures CD86/BT.2 induction by flow cytometry (Python et al., 2007)(OECD TG442E), and by the IL-8 Luc assay (Kimura et al., 2015)(OECD TG...
