The role and mechanism of action of endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein 166 in liver lipid metabolism [PDF]
Objective To investigate the role and specific molecular mechanism of action of endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein 166 (TMEM166) in liver lipid metabolism. Methods Tmem166flox/flox mice were crossed with Alb-Cre mice, and the offspring Tmem166+/+

Phenotypic and functional changes in blood monocytes following adherence to endothelium. [PDF]
ObjectiveBlood monocytes are known to express endothelial-like genes during co-culture with endothelium. In this study, the time-dependent change in the phenotype pattern of primary blood monocytes after adhering to endothelium is reported using a novel ...

Decrease of Very Late Activation Antigen-4 and CD36 on Reticulocytes in Sickle Cell Patients Treated With Hydroxyurea [PDF]
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by repeated vaso-occlusive events, which result in substantial morbidity. Abnormal adhesion of sickle red blood cells (RBC) to the vascular endothelium is postulated to play a role in the pathogenesis of vaso-occlusion.

Oxidation by neutrophils-derived HOCl increases immunogenicity of proteins by converting them into ligands of several endocytic receptors involved in antigen uptake by dendritic cells and macrophages. [PDF]
The initiation of adaptive immune responses to protein antigens has to be preceded by their uptake by antigen presenting cells and intracellular proteolytic processing.

src‐related protein tyrosine kinases are physically associated with the surface antigen CD36 in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]
src‐related cytoplasmic PTKs are physically and functionally associated with cell surface receptors and are involved in signal transduction. In this paper we report the identification of src‐related proteins p59 fyn , pp60c‐scr and p62 yes in human microvascular endothelial cells cultured from normal human skin and their physical association with ...
