Gene regulation upon serotonin stimulation was compared in wild-type and 5HT2C receptor kock-out mice. Serotonin (5-HT), known as neuromodulator, regulates immune responses and inflammatory cascades.
Background: Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotic agents with immunomodulatory effects involving improvement of the intestinal microbiota and metabolome. In this study, we investigated the ce
In the current experiment we observed that raw cow’s milk can induce tolerance to an irrelevant, non-milk, food allergen (ovalbumin (OVA)). Giving 0.5 mL of raw cow’s milk orally for 8 days suppressed
Despite its high prevalence, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are far from being understood. Here, we determine disease-related changes in cellular
In our lower respiratory tract, the alveolar spaces are divided from the bloodstream and the external environment by only a few microns of interstitial tissue. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) defend this d
