They can provide a range of beneficial effects, such as lowering inflammatory cytokines (chemicals released by the immune system that can cause problems in rheumatoid arthritis patients), reducing joint stiffness and pain, as well as lowering oxidative stress — the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify harmful chemicals.

This may be of particular importance in the ageing lung as pulmonary infections are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, as discussed by Boe et al. 11 Innate cells appear to have reduced TLR signalling via MAPK and NFƙB resulting in reduced inflammatory cytokine production as well as altered chemotaxis responses, decreased phagocytosis and antigen presentation capacity.

As an Associate Professor at OSU, my research has been concentrated in the areas of aging, neuroimmunology, and neurotrauma.Overall, my research aim is to determine the degree to which the bi-directional communication between the brain and the immune system is affected by age, stress, and traumatic CNS injury and to delineate the mechanism by which inflammatory cytokine pathways cause long - lasting complications (e.g., cognitive decline and depression).

In a typical immune response, for instance, inflammatory proteins called cytokines will be released by immune cells at a site of inflammation and then other immune cells will use these cytokines like a trail of breadcrumbs to home in on the site of infection and destroy the pathogens that are causing it.

Stem cells affect the infarcted myocardium via neovascularization, reduction of apoptosis and paracrine effect, they are able to increase myocardial perfusion, inhibit synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL6 and TNFα) and promote expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL10) minimizing the necrosis damage caused by local inflammatory reaction.

These inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to cause cancer to spread (metastasize) to other organs, 9 result in further inflammation, and even cause tumors to increase their blood supply (angiogenesis).10 This in itself creates somewhat of a (free - range pastured) chicken versus the egg argument in terms of whether inflammation causes cancer or cancer causes inflammation.

The release of inflammatory cytokines, or intercellular signaling molecules such as interleukin - 1 (IL - 1), interleukin - 2 (IL - 6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF - α) at the site of immune activation causes other immune cells migrating throughout the lymphatic vessels of the body to express more cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).

And so that consumes a lot of resources; it creates a lot of inflammatory cytokines; it also regulates some other pathways, which can be circulated, end up in the brain and end up causing anxiety and depression.

«Small injuries to the vascular wall that can be caused by anything from high blood pressure to toxins attract all sorts of metabolic riff - raff, from bacteria to oxidized (damaged) LDL particles; the immune system sends inflammatory cytokines to the area, and more oxidation and inflammation takes place eventually resulting in the growth of plaque and, ultimately, to an increased risk for heart disease.

Because most Lyme symptoms are caused by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines by the immune system, it makes sense that decreasing inflammation can help a person feel better.

Having chronic inflammation causes a cascade of events — including release of inflammatory markers called cytokines.

These reactions cause a release of cytokines and interleukins — which exacerbate the inflammatory response, opening the door for conditions like cancer.
