Helminth Parasites and the Modulation of Joint Inflammation by Chelsea E. Matisz, Jason J. McDougall, Keith A. Sharkey, Derek M. McKay

“…Helminth parasites are accomplished masters at modifying their hosts' immune activity, and so attention has focused on rodent-helminth model systems to uncover the workings of the mammalian immune response to metazoan parasites, with the hope of revealing molecules and/or mechanisms that can be translated into better treatments for human autoimmune and idiopathic disorders. …”

Kisspeptin is elevated in the brain after intracerebral haemorrhagic stroke by Saumya Maheshwari, In Hwa Um, Struan Donachie, Nafeesa Asghar, Karina McDade, Tracey Millar, David J. Harrison, Javier A. Tello

“…Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide best known for its functions in reproductive biology, but recent preclinical studies have demonstrated that kisspeptins are upregulated in rodent models of haemorrhagic stroke. Here we report for the first time that kisspeptin immunoreactivity is significantly higher in post-mortem human brain tissue after both ICH and ICH associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. …”

Resolution of depression: Antidepressant actions of resolvins by Satoshi Deyama, Katsuyuki Kaneda, Masabumi Minami

“…In this review, we reveal that intracranial infusions of RvD1, RvD2, RvE1, RvE2, and RvE3 produce antidepressant-like effects in various rodent models of depression. Moreover, the behavioral effects of RvD1, RvD2, and RvE1 are mediated by the activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1, which is essential for the antidepressant-like actions of ketamine. …”
