The influence of host genetics on erythrocytes and malaria infection: is there therapeutic potential? [PDF]
As parasites, Plasmodium species depend upon their host for survival. During the blood stage of their life-cycle parasites invade and reside within erythrocytes, commandeering host proteins and resources towards their own ends, and dramatically ...

Immunohistochemical analysis of CD31, CD36, and CD44 antigens in human omentum.
Milky spots in the human omental tissue are known to be consisting of lymphocytes, macrophages and mast cells. Our goal was to evaluate the relationship of lymphoid cells and macrophages with vasculature and stromal components.In this study we examined the biopsy specimens obtained from the adult patients whom were operated for different purposes in ...

Loss of synchronized retinal phagocytosis and age-related blindness in mice lacking alphavbeta5 integrin. [PDF]
Daily phagocytosis by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of spent photoreceptor outer segment fragments is critical for vision. In the retina, early morning circadian photoreceptor rod shedding precedes synchronized uptake of shed photoreceptor ...

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

ABSTRACT Early diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), driven by PML‐RARA oncoprotein, is vital for survival, as delays can cause fatal coagulopathy without prompt therapeutic intervention of all‐trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide. Although APL is diagnosed using microscopy, immunophenotyping, and FISH/PCR for PML‐RARA, morphological ...

Microprocessor-controlled vs. "dump-freezing" platelet and lymphocyte cryopreservation: A quantitative and qualitative comparative study [PDF]
Background/Aim. Thermodynamical and cryobiological parameters responsible for cell damages during cryopreservation (cryoinjuries) have not yet been completely explained. Thus, freezing procedures should be revised, exactly optimized to obtain an enhanced

Radiotherapy and Immune System Interactions Historical Perspectives and Clinical Advancements
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) has evolved significantly since its inception from treating benign conditions to becoming a cornerstone of cancer treatment. This review examines the complex interactions between RT and the immune system, highlighting its diverse effects on various immune cell populations, and exploring emerging strategies to enhance ...

Spontaneous Remission of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: A Case Report
Spontaneous remissions (SRs) in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasms (BPDCNs) are infrequent, poorly documented, and transient. We report a 40-year-old man presenting with bycitopenia and soft tissue infection.

Induction of monocyte differentiation and foam cell formation in vitro by 7-ketocholesterol
Oxidized LDL (OxLDL) is composed of many potentially proatherogenic molecules, including oxysterols. Of the oxysterols, 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC) is found in relatively large abundance in OxLDL, as well as in atherosclerotic plaque and foam cells in vivo.
