Marine saponins are naturally glycosides compounds which possess important biomedical properties such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Nevertheless, no systematic studies on the anti-inflammatory potential of brittle star saponin and its underlying mechanisms have been reported. In this study, Ophiocoma erinaceus extracted saponin was investigated for its in vitro anti-inflamm...

spinal cord injury (sci) actuate to complex cellular and molecular interactions within the central nervous system in a heave to repair the initial tissue damage. the pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury (sci) involves primary and secondary mechanisms. neuroinflammation is an important secondary injury process in sci. the local inflammatory microenvironment within the injured spinal cord ...

While sensory fibres normally respond to a range of physical and chemical stimuli their activity and metabolism are profoundly altered by a variety of mediators generated by tissue injury and inflammation. These include substances produced by damaged tissue, substances of vascular origin as well as substances released by afferent fibres themselves, sympathetic fibres and various immune cells. T...

Angiogenesis gained a stable position in the field of patho-genesis. Vascular changes are a recognized hallmark of cancer growth, inflammatory disorders, and retina disorders, particularly in the context of diabetes. The inflammatory process, defined by the release of mediators from activated neutro-phils, macrophages, and other myeloid cells, intersects with vascular changes, but the nature of...
