Kynurenine's opposing roles in depression and schizophrenia Unfortunately, the idea of using COX-2 inhibitors to treat schizophrenia is likely to backfire given that both schizophrenia and COX-2 inhibitors are associated with leaky gut. Just because something works in a short-term study doesn't mean it's going to work well over the lifetime of a patient. Dialogues ... 11 Jul 2010 23:49

Sympathetic nervous system regulation of B cells in autoimmunity To say the least, I've been thinking the same thing for two or three years now. Those with locally damaged sympathetic nerves, though, will have to regenerate those nerves as part of any "cure" for this class of autoimmunity. Brain Behav Immun. 2010 Feb;24(2):186-92.

Stem Cells & Immunity? Hello, I am trying to better understand about stem cells activities related to immune status. I read about following issue:- "4.

This will le... 21 Jun 2010 05:54
Therapeutic drug targets database We have created a unique and comprehensive database on therapeutic drug targets. This database contains drug targets reported in US patents or US/International patent applications. The drug targets are also classified according to specific drug types (e.g. small molecule drugs, protein drugs, antibody drugs, siRN... 4 Apr 2010 15:59
CD39 in colitis and its role in macrophage/sympathetic function The macrophage inflammatory response is impaired in colitis as is sympathetic innervation. This suggests both may be connected via CD39, which degrades ATP. ATP is released at the source of inflammation and activates purigenic receptors in the P2X family. It also regulates norephinephrine transmission via CD... 24 Mar 2010 00:03

Schizophrenia vs. Celiac: different sets of antibodies to wheat? A link between Celiac and schizophrenia has been postulated before. Some schizophrenics have even been cured with a gluten-free diet. Now we have evidence that Celiac and some forms of schizophrenia may both be driven by antibodies to different antigen targets in wheat. Given that wheat, rice, red meat and c... 20 Feb 2010 12:27
Antibodies, sympathetic drive and the development of Type I diabetes I think the lack of specific antibodies against infectious diseases may indicate a failure of sympathetic-mediated immune responses. In M.S., it looks like a history of sympathetic overdrive is protective - a previous TB infection, for example. This study pointing to the lack of antibodies with Type I diabete... 20 Feb 2010 03:42

Could Celiac anti-TG autoantibodies cause Crohn's-like colitis by impairing macrophages? If you've followed my posts in alt.support.crohns-colitis, you know there is plenty of evidence piling up that Crohn's is due to defective innate immunity. Innate pathways that synthesize antimicrobials like cathelicidin are defective via impaired butyrate uptake or low levels of Vitamin D3 - sometimes even hi... 20 Feb 2010 01:30
PPARalpha stimulation limits lymphocyte proliferation As I pointed out several years ago, the mu opioid/cannabinoid complex is under epigenetic control (via OCTN2/butyrate/carnitine uptake) and there was evidence even back then that cannabinoid signals limited lymphocyte proliferation. Now we have more direct evidence of this via PPARalpha, a regulator of OCTN2. ... 18 Feb 2010 07:15 |
