The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Inhaled Interleukin-10 before and after induction of experimental endotoxemia in the rat : effects on the inflammatory response [PDF]
To determine the effects of inhaled IL-10 at different doses and different time points on the pulmonary and systemic inflammatory response during endotoxemia, 48 ventilated, anaesthetized rats (mean body weight ± standard deviation, 500 ± 33g) were ...

Pulmonary effects of inhalation of spark-generated silver nanoparticles in Brown-Norway and Sprague-Dawley rats [PDF]
The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products is concerning. We examined the potential toxic effects when inhaled in Brown-Norway (BN) rats with a pre-inflammatory state compared to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.We determined the ...

Two cases of primary human parechovirus pneumonia in adults
Human parechoviruses (HPeV) are mainly isolated from upper respiratory tract infection and gastroenteritis in children. HPeV has not been screened for in the past studies of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults, and its association with CAP is ...

Visualization of Word Usage in Fluid Mechanics Abstracts [PDF]
The fluid dynamics video linked in the document shows how `keywords' from abstracts contained in three journals--Physics of Fluids (A) from 1970, Experiments in Fluids from 1983, and Journal of Fluid Mechanics from 1954--have changed over time.

Cysteine cathepsins in human silicotic bronchoalveolar lavage fluids
Mature, active cysteine cathepsins (CPs) were identified in human inflammatory bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) supernatants from patients suffering from silicosis by both western blot and surface plasmon resonance analyses. BALFs are not a reservoir of activatable proforms, since no autocatalytic maturation at acidic pH occurs.

The microbiologist's guide to metaproteomics
Metaproteomics within the multi‐omics framework provides a comprehensive view of microbial systems by identifying proteins, quantifying their levels, detecting posttranslational modifications (PTMs), mapping protein–protein interactions (PPIs), and localizing proteins.
