The CCL17/TARC chemokine is involved in many immune-mediated diseases, and is a well-known biomarker of atopic dermatitis. However, the proteins that regulate CCL17 expression are not clear. Recently, scientists from Japan conducted experiments on cultures of dendritic cells focusing on PU.1, a key protein regulating gene expression in immune cells. Further experiments on mice showed...

A close look into the regulation of CCL17 — A gene involved in hyperimmune diseases
TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE IMAGE: A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS FROM TUS HAS RECENTLY SHED LIGHT ON THE COMPLEX REGULATORY PATHWAYS OF CCL17/TARC CHEMOKINE, REVEALING INSIGHTS THAT COULD HELP US DESIGN NOVEL TREATMENTS FOR IMMUNE SYSTEM-RELATED DISEASES. CREDIT: HTTPS://PIXABAY.COM/USERS/CENCZI-1854246/ Allergies and many other types of immune system-related diseases originate from an interplay of complex chemical pathways that...
