Classical and Paradoxical Effects of TNF-α on Bone Homeostasis
TL;DR: The role of TNF-α in bone homeostasis seems to depend on the concentration and the differentiation state of the cell type used as well as on the exposure time as mentioned in this paper.
Effects of Interleukin-17A on Osteogenic Differentiation of Isolated Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
TL;DR: IL-17 increased the effects of TNF-α on bone matrix formation by hMSCs, which may in turn activate osteoclasts leading to bone destruction as in RA and promote ectopic bone formation as in AS.
Heavy Metals Accumulation Effects on The Photosynthetic Performance of Geophytes in Mediterranean Reserve
TL;DR: In this paper, a study determined heavy metals contamination levels evaluated by a rare plant species "Urginea maritima" which is used as a biomonitor of airborne pollution.

Differential Effects of IL-17A and TNF-α on Osteoblastic Differentiation of Isolated Synoviocytes and on Bone Explants from Arthritis Patients
Bilal Osta,Jean-Paul Roux,Fabien Lavocat,Marlène Pierre,Ndiémé Ndongo-Thiam,Georges Boivin,Pierre Miossec +6 more
TL;DR: In isolated FLS, increased osteoblastogenesis was observed, contrasting with the inhibitory effect in whole bone, specifically in RA, and the net effect of IL-17A and TNF-α appears to depend on the disease state and the presence of other cells.
Analysis of epidermal lipids in normal and atopic dogs, before and after administration of an oral omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid feed supplement. A pilot study
Iuliana Popa,Didier Pin,N. Remoué,Bilal Osta,Sylvie Callejon,Emilie Videmont,Hugues Gatto,Jacques Portoukalian,Marek Haftek,Marek Haftek +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the potential interest of long-term alimentary supplementation with omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids in canine atopic dermatitis and reveal that the treatment resulted in a significantly improved organization of the lamellar lipids in the lower SC, comparable to that of the healthy dogs.
