Is asthma induced by intranasal coadministration of allergen and natural killer T-cell ligand in a mouse model?
These data demonstrate that NKT cells can play crucial roles in allergen sensitization and pathologic states in asthma. Furthermore, our new asthma model using alphaGC will be very useful to induce asthma and to dissect the role of NKT cells and other cells in asthma.
Low-power laser irradiation at 830 nm significantly enhances cutaneous wound tensile strength in a murine diabetic model. Further investigation of the mechanism of LLLT in primary wound healing is warranted.
