Is low grade inflammation associated with lower velocity of sound and broadband ultrasound attenuation in older men , but not with bone loss or fracture risk in a longitudinal aging study?
Elevated inflammatory markers are associated with impaired bone quality in older men, but not in women. No associations were found with the risk for fractures.
RNAi is capable of enhancing innate immune responses through the PKR- and TLR-dependent signaling pathways in primary hepatocytes. The immune stimulation by RNAi may contribute to the antiviral activity of siRNAs in vivo.
