Increased secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), along with interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), is important in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). T regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) cells play a role in maintaining self-tolerance by downregulating Th1-induced proinflammation. This function has been found to be altered in active RA, whereas anti-TNF-alpha therapy has been found to improve the suppressive abilities of these cells.

- The study examined how excess white light affects oxygen production and delayed light emission in chlorophyll during the greening process of wheat seedlings.
- Researchers found that chlorophyll in the initial stages of greening (4-6 hours) showed a significant reduction in oxygen evolution and delayed light emission.
- As greening progressed (12-24 hours), the stability of oxygen production improved, but certain chemicals, like cycloheximide, heightened the photoinhibition effects on oxygen production while rifampicin had no impact.
