Propranolol diminished severity of rat EAE by enhancing immunoregulatory/protective properties of spinal cord microglia
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2020)
Sympathetic dysfunction is suggested to contribute to development of multiple sclerosis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) alike. Considering important role of microglia in development/resolution of ...
Hantaviruses in Serbia and Montenegro
(Centers Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, 2006)
Hantaviruses are endemic in the Balkan Peninsula. An outbreak of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome occurred in 2002 in Serbia and Montenegro. The epidemiologic characteristics and genetic relatedness of Dobrava/Belgracle ...
Genetic detection and isolation of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Kosovo, Yugoslavia
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2002)
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (C-CHFV) strains were isolated from a fatal case and the attending physician in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. Early, rapid diagnosis of the disease was achieved by reverse transcription-polymerase ...
Immunoglobulins G from Sera of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients Induce Oxidative Stress and Upregulation Antioxidative System in BV-2 Microglial Cell Line
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2017)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a very fast progression, no diagnostic tool for the presymptomatic phase, and still no effective treatment of the disease. Although ALS affects motor ...
Intestinal carriage of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. among high-risk patients in university hospitals in Serbia: first surveillance report
(BMC, 2021)
Background: The screening for intestinal carriage of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. (VRE) among high risk patients in the Balkan region and molecular epidemiology of VRE is insufficiently investigated, yet it could ...
Implementation of the One Health approach to fight arbovirus infections in the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region: Assessing integrated surveillance in Serbia, Tunisia and Georgia
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Background In the Mediterranean and Black Sea Region, arbovirus infections are emerging infectious diseases. Their surveillance can benefit from one health inter-sectoral collaboration; however, no standardized methodology ...
GM-CSF-Producing Th Cells in Rats Sensitive and Resistant to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2016)
Given that granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is identified as the key factor to endow auto-reactive Th cells with the potential to induce neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ...
Carrageenan - a natural inhibitor of ocular chlamydial infection in vitro and in vivo
(Assoc Research Vision Ophthalmology Inc, Rockville, 2016)
Purpose : Ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the leading cause of infectious blindness. As Ct infects via extracellular elementary bodies (EB), we suggest that carrageenan, a natural extract from red seaweed ...
Digestomics of Cow's Milk: Short Digestion-Resistant Peptides of Casein Form Functional Complexes by Aggregation
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
The aim of this study was to identify short digestion-resistant peptides (SDRPs) released by pepsin digestion of the whole cow's milk and examine their IgE reactivity and allergenicity. Raw milk was subjected to simulated ...
Massage-like stroking boosts the immune system in mice
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2015)
Recent clinical evidence suggests that the therapeutic effect of massage involves the immune system and that this can be exploited as an adjunct therapy together with standard drug-based approaches. In this study, we ...
