    ..Additionally, activation of these receptors can induce production of proinflammatory cytokines. These findings suggest that NSCs may be primed to participate in cytokine production during neuroinflammatory or traumatic conditions...

    Asa Andersson
    Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Neuroimmunology Unit, Karolinska University Hospital at Solna, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
    J Leukoc Biol 84:1248-55. 2008
    ..Significant expression of HMGB1 and its receptors on accumulating activated macrophages and resident microglia may thus provide a positive feedback loop that amplifies the inflammatory response during MS and EAE pathogenesis...

    Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Division of Neurology, Neuroimmunology Unit, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
    Stem Cells 24:2792-800. 2006
    ..Our findings reveal a new role for NO during neuroinflammatory conditions, whereby its proastroglial fate-determining effect on neural stem cells might directly influence the neuroregenerative process...

    Neuroimmunology Unit, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Center of Molecular Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
    PLoS ONE 7:e39794. 2012
    ..In addition, the congenic strain showed a reduced antigen specific response and a predominant anti-inflammatory Th2 phenotype. These results indicate novel mechanisms in the genetic regulation of neuroinflammation...

    Exp Cell Res 314:3605-13. 2008
    ..This suggests that Ro52 has both cytoplasmic and nuclear substrates, and that Ro52 mediates ubiquitination through UBE2D1 in the cytoplasm and through UBE2E1 in the nucleus...
