Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Nicotine, a major alkaloid in tobacco, interacts with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), notably alpha7 nAChR, which are key modulators of inflammatory signaling. The α7nAChR regulates the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, a process modulated by microRNA-124 (miR-124), which downregulates inflammatory mediators. Additionally, STAT3, a transcription factor activ...
