In the first study, we showed that VLDL activates the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kB in endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo. READ MORE

10. PGE2 and other lipids in rheumatic diseases
Abstract : Despite numerous options for treatment of rheumatic diseases, there is an unfulfilled clinical need for therapeutic strategies that can reduce inflammation and prevent tissue destruction. Lipid mediators (eicosanoids and fatty acids (FA)) are involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes and contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. READ MORE
