Lipoxin B4
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Lipoxin B4 (LXB4) is a structurally distinct product of arachidonic acid metabolism. Lipoxin B4 reduces leukocyte infiltration and mucus secretion in the nasal mucosa and decreases mast cell and eosinophil degranulation in the upper airway. Lipoxin B4 decreases airway inflammation, mucus metaplasia and hyper- responsiveness in the lower airway. Lipoxin B4 shows mucosal protective actions and has the potential for the research of allergic inflammation in the upper and lower airways.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co
