Animal Models of Allergic Asthma: Utilities and Limitations

Posted by MD Biosciences on Aug 16, 2018 11:00:00 AM

Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway inflammation, changes in structural activity, and bronchial hyperactivity. Scientists have tried to mimic such features of human allergic asthma in murine models as the prevalence of asthma in westernized countries has nearly doubled over the last 20 years to an estimated 180,000 asthma-related deaths per year (WHO, 2018). To date there is no cure for asthma; treatment efforts including inhalers, diet intervention and steroidal injection are designed for symptom relief (Roland et al., 2018). Other initiatives include electronic health recording (EHR) allowing patients to co-manage disease in between office visits. Such interventions and therapies are temporary, aiming to minimize severity of symptoms and number of office visits but they do not always alter underlying pathological mechanisms. Thus, suitable efficacy models are needed. The Ovalbumin (OVA) and House Dust Mite (HDM)-induced models are widely-used models to explore underlying pathogenesis of asthma and MD Biosciences is proud to offer both  models as resources for testing new therapeutics as well as provide additional ex vivo assessment services to better understand therapeutic method of action.

Evidence Mounts for the Role of Inflammation and Immune Dysregulation in Metabolic Liver Disease Related to Obesity

Posted by MD Biosciences on Jul 19, 2018 10:30:00 AM

Over the past couple of decades, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have become the number one cause of liver disease in Western countries. Recent data confirm that NAFLD and NASH play an equally important role in the Middle East, Far East, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The prevalence of NAFLD/NASH continues to increase along with its associated risk factors, including metabolic disorder, obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of these diseases has become a priority. Recent investigations into the effect of chronic liver inflammation have shed light on the role of both the adaptive and innate immune systems in both NAFLD and NASH. Long suspected to play a part in such metabolic disorders along with nutrition and hormonal imbalances, the immune system has been of great interest to researchers for development of specific drug targets to maximize glucose regulation, minimize inflammatory damage to tissues and prevent the development of fibrosis that can lead to liver failure.
