Adrenomedullin is increased in acute liver failure syndromes (ALF and ACLF), and AMBP1 is, on the contrary, reduced, mirroring the severity of the disease expressed by the SOFA score. ADM affects ...

Monocytes, a special type of white blood cell, play an important role in the innate immune system and contribute to host defense in the blood by secreting large quantities of pro-inflammatory ...

In a recent study posted in the Research Square* preprint server, which is under consideration at Scientific Reports, researchers examined the detailed mechanisms of ‘cytokine storm’ that induces ...

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were seeded at 1 × 10 4 cells per cm 2 in six-well plates. Treatment with TNF-α (2.5, 5 or 10 ng/ml) or lipopolysaccharide (0.5, 1 or 5 μg/ml) treatment ...

Liver failure syndromes are characterized by a dysregulated immune response leading to immune paralysis. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a potent vasodilator and immunoregulator. This study aimed to explore ...
