Sensory and cognitive impairments have been documented in diabetic humans and animals, but the pathophysiology of diabetes in the central nervous system is poorly understood. Because a high glucose level disrupts gap junctional communication in various cell types and astrocytes

During acute infections and chronic illnesses, the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) acts within the brain to elicit metabolic derangements and sickness behaviors. It is unknown which cells in the brain are the proximal targets for IL-1β with respect to the

The transfer of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hu-PBMC) from adult Epstein-Barr-virus(EBV)-seropositive donors in SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice frequently leads to the development of a human B lymphoproliferative syndrome (hu-BLPS). Therefore, as 90% of adult potential donors are EBV-seropositive

We have identified three methyl esters that have a potent stimulatory effect on the cotransport system responsible for the absorption of most essential amino acids in the silkworm Bombyx mori. L-Leucine methyl ester, the most powerful activator, determined a large
Recently, long-term preculture with IL-4 or IL-7 has been reported to induce IFN-gamma-producing ability in naive CD4+ T cells without stimulation via TCR. The mechanism of IFN-gamma-transcription in naive CD4+ T cells precultured with IL-4 was analyzed and compared with
