Therapeutic targeting of STAT pathways in CNS autoimmune diseases.

JAK-STAT

Egwuagu CE, Larkin Iii J.
PMID: 24058800
JAKSTAT. 2013 Jan 01;2(1):e24134. doi: 10.4161/jkst.24134.

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) transduce extracellular signals that regulate the initiation, duration and intensity of immune responses. However, unbridled activation of STATs by pro-inflammatory cytokines or growth factors contributes to pathogenic autoimmunity. In this review, we...

BACKGROUND: Obstetricians in developing countries appear generally reluctant to conduct vaginal delivery in women with a previous Cesarean because of lack of adequate facilities for optimal fetomaternal monitoring.OBJECTIVE: To describe delivery outcomes among women with one previous Cesarean section...

IL-27-producing B-1a cells suppress neuroinflammation and CNS autoimmune diseases.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Choi JK, Yu CR, Bing SJ, Jittayasothorn Y, Mattapallil MJ, Kang M, Park SB, Lee HS, Dong L, Shi G, Caspi RR, Egwuagu CE.
