Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Inflammation

Abstract:   Mitochondria are organelles carrying unique genetic codes in eukaryotic cells. mtDNA encodes 13 proteins which are key components of OXPHOS complex. Mitochondria manage to produce energy required by most cells via oxidative phosphorylation, and are also involved in several important biological processes, such as regulation of apoptosis, storage and regulation of calcium ion, production …

Biomarkers for Gastric Cancer Testing

Abstract: Gastric cancer is the malignant tumor derived from gastric epithelium, and frequently occurs among people over 50 years old. Males have a higher incidence rate than females. With the change of dietary habit, increased working pressure and helicobacter pylori infection, gastric cancer in younger men is increasing. Gastric cancer can occur in any part …

Copper-induced Cell Death

Abstract: Copper is involved in important biological processes like cellular respiration, antioxidant response and neurotransmitter synthesis. Balance of copper is very important for cells and organ health. But excessive copper ions may cause toxic reaction, resulting in cell damage and death. Copper ions induce oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by damaging acylated tricarboxylic acid cycle …

Treatment for Cytokine Storm Diseases

Abstract:  Cytokines are small molecule soluble proteins secreted by cells and involved in preventing serious diseases like cancer. They promote the formation and development of specific organs, help to maintain homeostasis and also improve the body defense function against pathogen invasion. Cytokine storm(also called hypercytokinemia) is a serious immune overreaction. The self-overprotected effects of cytokine …

IL-6 Signaling Pathway

Abstract:  Interleukin-6(IL-6) is an important cytokine mainly produced by T cell and monocyte. It will be released during infection, tissue damage or inflammation, and also plays its role as proinflammatory cytokine and anti-inflammatory modulator. There are three types of IL-6 signaling pathway: classical signaling pathway, trans-signaling pathway and trans-presentation. Keywords:  IL-6 signaling pathway, cytokine, inflammation, …

Role of TNF Alpha in Rheumatoid Arthritis

1. TNF Alpha and Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease involving multiple inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). TNF-α, a crucial inflammatory mediator, is a monocyte-derived cytokine primarily produced by monocytes and macrophages, playing an important role in immune responses by regulating inflammation and activation of immune cells. Its …
