2020 international consensus on ANCA testing beyond systemic vasculitis
(2020)This document follows up on a 2017 revised international consensus on anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) testing in granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis and focuses on the clinical and ... -
23. Lessons of ALS imaging: Pitfalls and future directions - A critical review.
(2014)Stereotypical shortcomings can be identified in ALS neuroimaging studies. • A systematic discussion of ALS study limitations is particularly timely. • Individual patient data meta-analyses and multicentre ... -
2nd ESMO Consensus Conference on Lung Cancer: early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer consensus on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
(2014)To complement the existing treatment guidelines for all tumour types, ESMO organises consensus conferences to focus on specific issues in each type of tumour. The 2nd ESMO Consensus Conference on Lung Cancer was held on ... -
Activated Factor X signaling via protease-activated receptor 2 suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine prodution from LPS-stimulated myeloid cells.
(2014)Vitamin K-dependent proteases generated in response to vascular injury and infection enable fibrin clot formation, but also trigger distinct immuno-regulatory signaling pathways on myeloid cells. Factor Xa, a protease ... -
Activating CARD14 Mutations Are Associated with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis but Rarely Account for Familial Recurrence in Psoriasis Vulgaris.
(2015)Caspase recruitment family member 14 (CARD14, also known as CARMA2), is a scaffold protein that mediates NF-κB signal transduction in skin keratinocytes. Gain-of-function CARD14 mutations have been documented in familial ... -
Activation and cleavage of SASH1 by caspase-3 mediates an apoptotic response
(2016)Apoptosis is a highly regulated cellular process that functions to remove undesired cells from multicellular organisms. This pathway is often disrupted in cancer, providing tumours with a mechanism to avoid cell death and ... -
Active case finding of tuberculosis in Europe: a Tuberculosis Network European Trials Group (TBNET) survey
(2008)Tuberculosis control depends on successful case finding and treatment of individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Passive case finding is widely practised: the present study aims to ascertain the consensus and ... -
Addition of a Viral Immunomodulatory Domain to Etanercept Generates a Bifunctional Chemokine and TNF Inhibitor
(2020)The inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) through the use of either antibodies or soluble receptors is a highly effective strategy for the clinical control of chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. ... -
Adenylate cyclase toxin of Bordetella pertussis inhibits TLR-induced IRF-1 and IRF-8 activation and IL-12 production and enhances IL-10 through MAPK activation in dendritic cells.
(2008)Adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis binds to CD11b/CD18 on macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) and confers virulence to the bacteria by subverting innate immune responses of the host. We have previously ... -
Advances in siRNA delivery to T-cells: potential clinical applications for inflammatory disease, cancer and infection.
(2013)The specificity of RNAi and its ability to silence 'undruggable' targets has made inhibition of gene expression in T-cells with siRNAs an attractive potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of inflammatory disease, ... -
Advancing the therapeutic potential of the IL-1 family in inflammatory diseases - Meeting report
(2019)On October 9th 2018 the Trinity College Dublin hosted a workshop forum at the Royal Irish Academy to discuss recent discoveries and current areas of focus in the field of IL‐1 family biology. The aim of this meeting was ... -
Age and frailty are independently associated with increased COVID-19 mortality and increased care needs in survivors: results of an international multi-centre study
(2021)Introduction:Increased mortality has been demonstrated in older adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), butthe effect of frailty has been unclear.Methods:This multi-centre cohort study involved patients aged 18 ... -
Aging impairs peritoneal but not bone marrow-derived macrophage phagocytosis.
(2014)Aging results in deterioration of the immune system, which is associated with increased susceptibility to infection and impaired wound healing in the elderly. Phagocytosis is an essential process in both wound healing and ... -
The alarmin IL-33 promotes regulatory T-cell function in the intestine.
(2014)FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are abundant in the intestine, where they prevent dysregulated inflammatory responses to self and environmental stimuli. It is now appreciated that Treg cells acquire tissue-specific ... -
Alkylating histone deacetylase inhibitors may have therapeutic value in experimental myeloperoxidase-ANCA vasculitis
(2018)Current therapies for treating antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis include cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids. Unfortunately, these agents are associated with severe adverse effects, despite ... -
ALS-associated missense and nonsense TBK1 mutations can both cause loss of kinase function
(2018)Mutations in TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Some TBK1 variants are nonsense and are predicted to cause disease through haploinsufficiency; however, many other mutations are ... -
ALS-specific cognitive and behavior changes associated with advancing disease stage in ALS
(2018)Objective: To elucidate the relationship between disease stage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as measured with the King's Clinical Staging System, and cognitive and behavioral change, measured with the Edinburgh ...
