Chemokines and their receptors form one of the most intricate signaling networks in immunology. Among them, CCR1 (C-C chemokine receptor type 1) has attracted attention for its dual role as both a guardian of host defense and a potential driver of chronic inflammation and cancer progression. For researchers, CCR1 is more than a seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR)—it ...
Chemokines are a specialized subset of small cytokines that play a crucial role in the immune system by directing the movement of circulating leukocytes to sites of inflammation, infection, and injury. Acting as chemoattractant molecules, chemokines are central to both innate and adaptive immunity, influencing not only immune surveillance but also wound healing and angiogenesis. Over the past few ...
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good ...
