Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone involved in pivotal physiological functions in higher plants. Recently, ABA proved to be secreted and active also in mammals, where it stimulates the activity of innate immune cells, of mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells and of insulin-releasing pancreatic β-cells through a signaling pathway involving...

Sinusoidal endothelial cells are the predominant vascular surface of the bone marrow and constitute the functional hematopoietic niche where hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells receive cues for self-renewal, survival, and differentiation. In the bone marrow hematopoietic niche, the oxygen tension is usually very low, and this condition...

: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a member of the mammalian NAD+-dependent deac(et)ylase sirtuin family. SIRT6's anti-inflammatory roles are emerging increasingly often in different diseases and cell types, including endothelial cells. In this study, the role of SIRT6 in pro-inflammatory conditions was investigated by engineering human umbilical vein...
