This study investigated the association of breast lobular involution status and three inflammatory markers as predictors of survival among breast cancer patients in the Multiethnic Cohort. Lobular involution was evaluated in tissue sections of normal breast tissue and COX-2, TNF-α, and TGF-β proteins were assessed by immunohistochemistry in tumor m...

Mesoderm and endoderm internalization in the Xenopus embryo are based on a number of region-specific morphogenetic processes that co-act in the vegetal half of the gastrula. In the multilayered wall surrounding the blastocoel, the apical layer engages in bottle cell formation and associated invagination and involution movements, and in cell interca...

The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of chronic S. aureus intramammary infection (IMI) on local innate and adaptive immune response during active involution. Cows in late lactation that were either uninfected or with chronic naturally acquired S. aureus IMI were included in this study. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL...

Pregnancy has a dual effect on the risk of breast cancer. On one hand, pregnancy at a young age is known to be protective. However, pregnancy is also associated with a transient increased risk of breast cancer. For women that have children after the age of 30, the risk remains higher than women who never had children for decades. Involution of the ...

White adipocytes in the mammary gland stroma comprise the majority of the mammary gland mass. White adipocytes regulate numerous hormonal and metabolic processes and exhibit compositional and phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity is exemplified by the ability of mammary adipocytes to regress during lactation, when mammary epithelial cells expand t...

BackgroundWomen who had children at a young age (less than 25) show a reduced overall risk of breast cancer. However, epidemiological studies showed that for all other women, pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer and the risk remains higher for decades. Further, even in women who had children at a young age, there is a transient increase ri...

In nearly every species examined, administration of the persistent environmental pollutant, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin, TCDD) causes profound immune suppression and thymic atrophy in an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) dependent manner. Moreover, TCDD alters the development and differentiation of thymocytes, resulting in decreases i...
L’auteure propose une réflexion sur la palilalie du sujet atteint de maladie d’Alzheimer à un stade sévère. Si, la plupart du temps, ce comportement de répétition verbale est considéré comme insensé, l’objectif est d’en apporter une nouvelle approche, avec notamment l’hypothèse d’une involution du système de représentation du sujet démentDans la pa...
