Early-life inflammation, immune response and ageing

Correction to 'Early life inflammation, immune response and ageing'.

Immune response parameters during labor and early neonatal life.

AIM Selected cytokines, associated with Th1 and Th2 immune response and inflammation, were studied in order to evaluate the relation between their release into maternal and neonatal circulation, during labour, and after birth, in comparison with those in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytokine concentrations were determined by very sensitive immunoassays, in maternal serum (MS), umbilical cord...

Early-life adversity accelerates cellular ageing and affects adult inflammation: Experimental evidence from the European starling

Early-life adversity is associated with accelerated cellular ageing during development and increased inflammation during adulthood. However, human studies can only establish correlation, not causation, and existing experimental animal approaches alter multiple components of early-life adversity simultaneously. We developed a novel hand-rearing paradigm in European starling nestlings (Sturnus vu...

Early activation of inflammation- and immune response-related genes after experimental detachment of the porcine retina.

PURPOSE To determine early alterations in retinal gene expression in a porcine model of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS Local detachment was created in eyes of adult pigs by subretinal application of sodium hyaluronate. The gene expression in control tissues and retinas detached for 24 hours was analyzed with a pig genome microarray. Genes with at least three-fold expression change...
