Interleukin-6 signaling in atherosclerosis: from molecular mechanisms to clinical outcomes
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 Jul 18. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230718141235. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInterleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine centrally involved in several immunological processes and has been recognized as a driver of enhanced atherothrombotic risk. Immunity and inflammation are intrinsically involved in atherosclerosis progression. This generated 'inflammation hypothesis', which is now validated in large-scale clinical trials. Abundant evidence supports the distinctive role of IL-6 in coronary artery disease. The focus on this cytokine stems from epidemiological studies linking high plasma concentrations of IL...

Recent Advances of Optical Biosensors in Veterinary Medicine: Moving Towards the Point of Care Applications
Curr Top Med Chem. 2023 Jul 18. doi: 10.2174/1568026623666230718163613. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile food safety issues are attracting public concern due to their detrimental effects on human health, monitoring livestock health is urgently needed to diagnose animal diseases at an early stage by applying proper treatments, controlling, and preventing outbreaks, particularly in resource-limited countries. In addition, unhealthy farms are not only a threat to livestock but also to human lives. The available diagnostic techniques for the detection of key health threats within both the food and livestock sectors require ...
