BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL TRANSLATION: UNDERSTANDING THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN MONOCYTES/MACROPHAGES AND INFLAMMATION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CARDIAC SURGERY
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Work from our lab group and others has shown that monocytes/macrophages are key mediators in the inflammatory response involved in CVD and the development ... -
The Effects of Endocannabinoid Modulation and Neurogenic Inflammation in Experimental Knee Joint Arthritis
Arthritis is a debilitating condition, and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite the prevalence of arthritis, few therapies are satisfactorily efficacious, and many are limited by serious adverse effects. It is ... -
Endocannabinoid system modulation of the ocular immune response
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an endogenous lipid signaling system, comprised of receptors, ligands, and their degradative enzymes. The cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) is localized on immune cells and modulates immune ... -
From Fibrocyte Migration To Resident Cardiac Macrophage Phenotypes: The Evolution In Understanding of Macrophages In Non-Ischemic Myocardial Injury and Fibrosis
Heart failure is a growing societal and healthcare issue for which the only long-term therapy is transplantation. Heart failure therapies have been limited by our understanding of a key process involved in healing termed ... -
Impact of Species-Specific Lactoferricin Peptides on Macrophage-Associated Inflammatory Processes
Inflammation is the body’s response to injury or infection and is important for elimination of the infecting agent and healing. However, prolonged inflammation can be damaging and may lead to the development of chronic ... -
Investigation of Phyto-, Endo-, and Syntheto-cannabinoids in the Management of Osteoarthritis Pain and Inflammation in Rats
The most prevalent form of joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA), is characterised by joint destruction, pain, and intermittent inflammation. It has recently emerged that OA is also associated with damage to the sensory nerves ...
