Regulatory T cells in central nervous system injury: a double-edged sword.
Previous research investigating the roles of T effector (T(eff)) and T regulatory (T(reg)) cells after injury to the CNS has yielded contradictory conclusions, with both protective and destructive functions being ascribed to each of these T cell subpopulations. In this work, we study this dichotomy by examining how regulation of the immune system affects the response to CNS trauma. We show that...
متن کاملA Double-Edged Sword?
The enormous benefits of inhibition of ACE demonstrate that manipulation of the metabolism of peptide hormones is a valuable therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease. Recent attempts to expand these benefits have combined ACE inhibition with inhibition of other peptidases such as neutral endopeptidase (NEP) in a single molecule, a strategy known as vasopeptidase inhibition. NEP metaboliz...

Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The survival after acute ischemic events has improved substantially in recent years, but new syndromes have emerged. Cardiac remodeling following a large myocardial infarction, with dilatation of the left ventricle, has deleterious hemodynamic consequences and is a major cause of chronic heart failure.1 The increased inc...
متن کاملmiR-21 in ischemia/reperfusion injury: a double-edged sword?
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are endogenous, small RNA molecules that suppress expression of targeted mRNA. miR-21, one of the most extensively studied miRNAs, is importantly involved in divergent pathophysiological processes relating to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, such as inflammation and angiogenesis. The role of miR-21 in renal I/R is complex, with both protective and pathological pathw...
متن کاملHerbicides — A Double Edged Sword
Weeds represent a global agronomic problem that threatens the productivity of cultivated crops. Weeds compete with cultivated crops for the available moisture, nutrients and light. Consequently, weeds significantly reduce either crop yield or quality. Control of weeds is essential to maintaining the production of economic crops. Weed control may be achieved either through manual eradication or ...
