Cytokines are secreted signalling proteins that play essential roles in the initiation,
maintenance and resolution of immune responses. Although the unique ability of cytokines …

More than 50 years of efforts to identify the major cytokine responsible for red blood cell
(RBC) production (erythropoiesis) led to the identification of erythropoietin (EPO) in 1977 …

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a cytokine mainly induced in hypoxia conditions. Its major production
site is the kidney. EPO primarily acts on the erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow …

Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a major cause of morbidity and
mortality. Moderate hypothermia (33.5° C) is currently the sole established standard …

Protective strategies against perinatal brain injury represent a major challenge for modern
neonatology. Erythropoietin (Epo) enhances endogenous mechanisms of repair and …

Erythropoietin (Epo) was once thought to act exclusively in the formation of red blood cells.
As recently reviewed by Smith et al.[Cardiovasc. Res. 59 (2003) 538–548], Epo can also act …

The aim of this review is to give an overview of the role of chemokines, particularly ligands of
the CC chemokine receptor CCR3, in allergic diseases and to show the new concept in the …
