IL-6

[Dental Materials] Researchers analyzed the formation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-6 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or lipoteichoic acid (LTA)-stimulated cells from the dental pulp interface and pulp fibroblasts in the presence of the resin monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA).

[Biochemical Genetics] Investigators explored the role of long-noncoding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) in acute pancreatitis that was induced by caerulein in rat pancreatic acinar cells AR42J.

[Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology] Scientists delineated the role of gymnemic acid in protecting pancreatic β-cells in diabetic animals, with special reference to inflammation and apoptosis.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers examined the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in defective angiogenesis mediated by leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1). IL-6 treatment induced LRG1 expression in endothelial cells and ex vivo angiogenesis cultures and promoted vascular growth with reduced mural cell coverage.

[ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering] Scientists covalently modified alginate with RGD and QK peptides that were injected subcutaneously into immunocompetent mice.

[Scientific Reports] Investigators explored the potential alleviating effects of dietary nano-supplement combined with bacillus strains in colitis a model.
