Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (CD26) defines leukemic stem cells (LSC) in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell (SC) neoplasm characterized by the BCR/ABL1 oncogene. Although mechanisms of BCR/ABL1-induced transformation are well-defined, little is known about effector-molecules contributing to malignant expansion and ...

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 ...

The microglial "activation" continuum: from innate to adaptive responses [PDF]
Microglia are innate immune cells of myeloid origin that take up residence in the central nervous system (CNS) during embryogenesis. While classically regarded as macrophage-like cells, it is becoming increasingly clear that reactive microglia play more ...

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.

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.
