Acteoside inhibits inflammatory response via JAK/STAT signaling pathway in osteoarthritic rats
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of synovial joints caused by inflammation. Acteoside (ACT), a major component and lipase inhibitor from the Chinese tea Ligustrum purpurascens kudingcha, has been reported to regulate the inflammation and immune response. The study aims to investigate the effects of ACT on inflammatory responses and joint protection in OA rats. ...

Mycobacterium indicus pranii therapy induces tumor regression in MyD88- and TLR2-dependent manner
Abstract Objectives Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP) is an atypical mycobacterium species with potent antitumor efficacy. Macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells, playing key roles in the activation of antitumor immunity. We have previously shown the potent activation of macrophages and DCs by MIP, which is mediated by MyD88–TLR2 signaling axis. In the present study, we further examined the role of MyD88...

Abstract The number of older adults over 65 years of age is expected to increase to almost 100 million in the US by 2050, more than double the current figure of 46 million. Advanced age is associated with increased frailty among older Americans and often leads to increased disability, hospitalization, institutionalization, and, eventually, mortality. In search of means to improve age-related risks for adverse health outcomes, the question of restoring diminishing sex hormones has...
