502 Epidermal alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor plays a crucial role in impaired TLR2-dependent innate immunity and bacterial susceptibility: implications for AD pathogenesis
Abstract:With age, senescent cells accumulate in various tissues, which are causatively linked to a state of chronic inflammation and age-related functional decline. The senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP), a cocktail of inflammatory cyto/chemokines and matrix proteases, majorly contributes to this phenomena. However, the knowledge on lipid mediators which we recently discovered as members of the SASP is very limited. We investigated whether the composition and amount of bioactive lipid mediators are alter… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
