Ixodes ricinus is the most widespread and abundant tick in Europe, frequently bites humans, and is the vector of several pathogens including those responsible for Lyme disease, Tick-Borne Encephalitis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and bartonellosis. These tick-borne pathogens are transmitted to
Aims: Major depressive disorder, as a destructive mental health disorder, is a major contributor to disability and death. Numerous studies have illustrated that activation of inflammation and fluctuating immune reactions play a crucial
Migraine headaches have a complex pathophysiology; both vascular and neuronal mechanisms have been proposed. One possible scenario begins with a series of destabilising events within the brain that trigger cortical spreading depression (CSD). CSD can cause both migraine aura and trigeminal
Hypercoagulability of blood, monocytic infiltration, and changes in pericellular and extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are observed in atherosclerosis, inflammation, and neoplasia. In the present studies, monocyte procoagulants and different GAGs including chondroitin sulfate (CS) A,
Afipia felis is one of the putative agents of cat scratch disease (CSD). Its intracellular location was previously demonstrated in tissue sections. It has been recently grown in human monocytes and in HeLa cells. We report that A. felis may infect human macrophages and the P 388 D1 murine macrophage
We use 1,2-diacetylbenzene (1,2-DAB) to probe molecular mechanisms of proximal giant neurofilamentous axonopathy (PGNA), a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The spinal cord proteome of rodents displaying 1,2-DAB PGNA suggests a reduction in the abundance of α-II spectrin
Previous studies have demonstrated that cortical spreading depression (CSD) induces neuronal tolerance to a subsequent episode of ischemia. The objective of the present investigation was to determine whether CSD alters levels of mRNA coding for putative neuroprotective proteins. Unilateral CSD was
Autosomal-recessive congenital sodium diarrhea (CSD) is characterized by perinatal onset of a persistent watery diarrhea with nonproportionally high fecal sodium excretion. Defective jejunal brush-border Na(+)/H(+) exchange has been reported in three sporadic patients, but the molecular basis of the
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of exogenous enzymes on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and nutrients, blood metabolites, fecal VFA, and fecal ammonia-N in growing pigs (Sus scrofa) fed a corn (Zea mays L.)-
