Thus, we can postulate that calcium homeostasis upon oxidative challenge should also be impacted in our cellular models, confirming the emerging consensus around the cross-talk between these two cellular events
Thus, we can postulate that calcium homeostasis upon oxidative challenge should also be impacted in our cellular models, confirming the emerging consensus around the cross-talk between these two cellular events. The most important and innovative a part of our study was verification of the hypothesis that physiologically relevant signals modulating monocyte/macrophage function (in our case, activation of the pattern recognition receptor TLR2 as a canonical example of pathogen-triggered signalling) can contribute to antioxidant defence development. levels even upon differentiated macrophage-like cells, mainly related to thioredoxin-linked antioxidant enzymes. cultured cell lines, a mainstay of modern experimental biology, are especially helpful for investigating basic biochemical and genetic mechanisms in a relatively isolated and well-characterised, but still physiologically relevant setting. Therefore, they are commonly used in studies on the impact of external factors…
