Immunomodulation of Avian Dendritic Cells under the Induction of Prebiotics
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)
Although the immunomodulatory properties of prebiotics were demonstrated many years ago in poultry, not all mechanisms of action are yet clear. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the main antigen-presenting cells orchestrating the ...
The Mechanisms and Management of Age-Related Oxidative Stress in Male Hypogonadism Associated with Non-communicable Chronic Disease
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Androgens have diverse functions in muscle physiology, lean body mass, the regulation of adipose tissue, bone density, neurocognitive regulation, and spermatogenesis, the male repro- ductive and sexual function. Male ...
Chicken Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Applications: A Mini Review
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells that adhere to plastic; express the specific markers CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105; and produce cytokines and growth factors supporting and regulating ...
Effect of Streptococcus uberis on Gamma Delta T Cell Phenotype in Bovine Mammary Gland
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
In this study, we focused analyzing γδ T cells during bovine mammary gland inflammation induced by Streptococcus uberis. A mammary gland cell suspension was obtained using lavage 24, 48, 72, and 168 h after intramammary-induced ...
Three-Dimensional Avian Hematopoietic Stem Cell Cultures as a Model for Studying Disease Pathogenesis
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is attracting increasing attention today because it can mimic tissue environments and provide more realistic results than do conventional cell cultures. On the other hand, very little ...
Using of Amniotic Membrane Derivatives for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
Amniotic membrane grafts have some therapeutic potential for wounds healing. Early application of amniotic membrane turned out as beneficial in healing ulcers, burns, and dermal injuries. Since the second half of the 20th ...
Physiological and Immune Functions of Punicalagin
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2021)
The aim of this publication is to compile a summary of the findings regarding punicalagin in various tissues described thus far in the literature, with an emphasis on the effect of this substance on immune reactions. ...
Molecular mechanism(s) of regulation(s) of c-MET/HGF signaling in head and neck cancer
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2022)
Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer across the globe. This is generally associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. Cancer in the pharynx majorly arises through human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, ...
Study of selected genes of Wnt signaling pathway in relation to the parameters in the bone tissue of the laying hens
(Elsevier Science BV, 2022)
The Wnt signaling pathway plays a critical role in almost all aspects of skeletal development and homeostasis. Many studies suggest the importance of this signaling pathway in connection with bone metabolism through many ...
Apoptosis of Eosinophil Granulocytes
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2020)
In the past 10 years, the number of people in the Czech Republic with allergies has doubled to over three million. Allergic pollen catarrh, constitutional dermatitis and asthma are the allergic disorders most often diagnosed. ...
Reproductive toxicity of combined effects of endocrine disruptors on human reproduction
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023)
Confluence of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle variables is responsible for deterioration of human fecundity. Endocrine disruptors or endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be found in a variety of foods, water, ...
Reactive Nitrogen Species and Male Reproduction: Physiological and Pathological Aspects
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
Reactive nitrogen species (RNS), like reactive oxygen species (ROS), are useful for sustaining reproductive processes such as cell signaling, the regulation of hormonal biosynthesis, sperm capacitation, hyperactivation, ...
Multilocus Sequence Genotype Heterogeneity in Streptococcus uberis Isolated from Bovine Mastitis in the Czech Republic
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2022)
The ubiquitous occurrence and high heterogeneity of Streptococcus uberis strains cause difficulties in the development and implementation of effective control strategies in dairy herds. In this study, S. uberis strains ...
