The role of high-density lipoproteins in sepsis by Liam R. Brunham

“…Many preclinical studies have examined strategies to augment HDL genetically or pharmacologically and have shown that this leads to protection from sepsis in animal models. Data in humans are more limited, but suggest a clinically relevant role of HDL in mediating the response to pathogen-associated lipids and preventing excessive inflammation. …”

Computational and Biological Comparisons of Plant Steroids as Modulators of Inflammation through Interacting with Glucocorticoid Receptor by Mohamed A. Morsy, Snehal S. Patel, Azza A. K. El-Sheikh, Jignasa K. Savjani, Anroop B. Nair, Jigar N. Shah, Katharigatta N. Venugopala

“…This was approached both in silico using molecular docking against glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and in vivo in two different animal models. All tested compounds interacted with GR, but only boswellic acid and withaferin A showed docking results comparable to fluticasone, as well as similar in vivo anti-inflammatory effects, by significantly decreasing serum levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in cotton pellet-induced granuloma in rats. …”

Becoming a Caregiver: The Role of the Environment in the Process of Children Becoming Responsible for Others by Carolina Remorini

“…The concept of “mutual raising” is employed to examine the daily interactions between middle-aged children and their domestic animals. To gain an insight into how children develop sophisticated and ecologically relevant skills to become autonomous and responsible for the care of others within the context of environmental interdependence, we present and analyze a cultural practice that is salient to the identity and way of life in rural communities of the Andean region in South America: becoming a shepherd. …”
