Autophagy in Immune-Related Renal Disease by Xin Ye, Xu-jie Zhou, Hong Zhang

“…These two-way effects are observed in immune cells as well as renal resident cells, including podocytes, mesangial cells, tubular epithelial cells, and endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries. Mounting evidence suggests that autophagy is implicated in the pathological process of various immune-related renal diseases (IRRDs) as well as the kidney that underwent transplantation. …”

Macrophages Are Key Regulators of Stem Cells during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Diseases by Junio Dort, Paul Fabre, Thomas Molina, Nicolas A. Dumont

“…Muscle regeneration is a closely regulated process that involves a variety of cell types such as satellite cells, myofibers, fibroadipogenic progenitors, endothelial cells, and inflammatory cells. Among these different cell types, macrophages emerged as a central actor coordinating the different cellular interactions and biological processes. …”

Free circulating ICAM-1 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of HIV-1 infected patients correlate with TNF-α and blood-brain barrier damage by M. K. Sharief, M. Ciardi, M. A. Noori, E. J. Thompson, A. Salotti, F. Sorice, F. Rossi, A. Cirelli

“…We have recently reported that tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mediates active neural inflammation and blood-brain barrier damage in HIV-1 infection. Stimulation of endothelial cells by TNF-α induces the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which is an important early marker of immune activation and response. …”
