BACKGROUND: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease is characterized by asthma, nasal polyps, and intolerance to aspirin with overexpression of leukotriene (LT) C(4) synthase and cysteinyl leukotriene receptors. Through an unknown mechanism, aspirin ... Read more...
17 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), controls the activity of inflammatory caspase-1 by forming inflammasomes, which leads to cleavage of the procytokines IL-1beta and IL-18. Recent studies have shown associations of human ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in the nose can be a simple colonizer but also may create an intramucosal reservoir causing recurrent infections or can be a specific immune modulator through superantigenic mechanisms. Because the colonization ... Read more...
