Activation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) by 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1, 25-vitD) reprograms
dendritic cells (DC) to become tolerogenic. Previous studies suggested that 1, 25-vitD could …

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new cases of legal blindness among adults in
the developed countries. Approximately 40% of all people with diabetes have diabetic …

The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their critical role in genetic control opened new
avenues in understanding of various biological processes including immune cell lineage …

Megakaryocyte (MK)-derived miRNAs have been detected in platelets. Here, we analysed
the expression of platelet and circulating miR-223, miR-26b, miR-126 and miR-140 that might …

In addition to producing sebum, sebocytes link lipid metabolism with inflammation at a cellular
level and hence, greatly resemble adipocytes. However, so far no analysis was performed …

Dendritic cells (DCs) respond to changes in their lipid environment by altering gene expression
and immunophenotype. Some of these alterations are mediated via the nuclear receptor …

Rosacea is a common chronic inflammation of sebaceous gland–rich facial skin characterized
by severe skin dryness, elevated pH, transepidermal water loss, and decreased hydration …

Kisspeptin neurons residing in the rostral periventricular area of the third ventricle (KP RP3V
) and the arcuate nucleus (KP ARC ) mediate positive and negative estrogen feedback, …

Corneal tissue regeneration is of crucial importance for maintaining normal vision. We
aimed to isolate and cultivate human corneal stroma-derived mesenchymal stem-like cells (…

Retinoids are morphogens and have been implicated in cell fate commitment of embryonic
stem cells (ESCs) to neurons. Their effects are mediated by RAR and RXR nuclear receptors. …
