  2. 3T3-L1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3T3-L1

    Differentiated adipocytes in a 3T3-L1 cell line stained with Oil Red O. 3T3-L1 is a sub clonal cell line derived from the original 3T3 Swiss albino cell line of 1962. The 3T3 original cell line was isolated from a mouse embryo and propagated for this specific line of 3T3 cells is used to study adipose tissue-related diseases and dysfunctions.

  3. Neutral lipid storage disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_lipid_storage_disease

    Now, having lipid deposits in the white blood cells of the individual is known and recognized as Jordans' anomaly, due to the medical professional who discovered it. [10] The first case of neutral lipid storage disease was reported by Maurice Dorfman when he treated two sisters with non-bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma in 1974. [ 2 ]

  4. Lipotoxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipotoxicity

    Alternatively, fatty acids can be converted to lipid intermediates like diacylglycerol, ceramides and fatty acyl-CoAs. These lipid intermediates can impair cellular function, which is referred to as lipotoxicity. [2] Adipocytes, the cells that normally function as lipid store of the body, are well equipped to handle the excess lipids. Yet, too ...

  5. Lipid droplet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_droplet

    In non-adipocytes, lipid storage, lipid droplet synthesis and lipid droplet growth can be induced by various stimuli including growth factors, long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (including oleic acid and arachidonic acid), oxidative stress and inflammatory stimuli such bacterial lipopolysaccharides, various microbial pathogens, platelet ...

  6. Cellular adoptive immunotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_adoptive...

    For example, the T- cells may not be activated and sustain the anti-tumor effect long enough, or the number of T-cells presented is insufficient. TIL therapy isolates tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which are naturally occurring T cells in cancer patients that have already recognised cancer cells and infiltrated into the tumor as an anti ...

  7. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

    It acts as a negative regulator of T-cell activation. Mutation in this gene is a risk factor for many autoimmune diseases. Weaker T-cell signaling may lead to impaired thymic deletion of autoreactive T cells, and increased PTPN22 function may result in inhibition of regulatory T cells, which protect against autoimmunity. [35]

  8. T-cell depletion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-cell_depletion

    Antiretroviral therapy, the most common treatment for patients with HIV, has been shown to restore CD4+ T cell counts. [20] The body responds to T cell depletion by producing an equal amount of T cells. However, over time, an individual's immune system can no longer continue to replace CD4+ T cells. [21] This is called the "tap and drain ...

  9. Management of hair loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_hair_loss

    Radiation induces hair loss through damage to hair follicle stem cell progenitors and alteration of keratin expression. [72] [73] Radiation therapy has been associated with increased mucin production in hair follicles. [74] Studies have suggested electromagnetic radiation as a therapeutic growth stimulant in alopecia.
