NLRP3 Inflammasome Regulates Development of Systemic Inflammatory Response and Compensatory Anti-inflammatory Response Syndromes in Mice With Acute Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis starts with primarily sterile local inflammation that induces systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) followed by compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS). We investigated mechanisms of these processes in mice and hum… Continue reading
Proliferation and Differentiation of Gastric Mucous Neck and Chief Cells During Homeostasis and Injury-induced Metaplasia
Adult zymogen-producing (zymogenic) chief cells (ZCs) in the mammalian gastric gland base are believed to arise from descending mucous neck cells, which arise from stem cells. Gastric injury, such as from Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with … Continue reading
