Synergistic effect of CNTF and GDNF on directed neurite growth in chick embryo dorsal root ganglia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
It is often critical to improve the limited regenerative capacity of the peripheral nerves and direct neural growth towards specific targets, such as surgically implanted bioengineered constructs.

HiSAT: A Novel Method for the Rapid Diagnosis of Allergy

Bio-Protocol, 2022
To identify causative substances for allergies to drugs or foods, the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) is currently widely used as in vitro test, but its accuracy is not satisfactory.

Impaired neutrophil directional chemotactic accuracy in chronic periodontitis patients [PDF]

, 2015
Aim: To investigate the chemotactic accuracy of peripheral blood neutrophils from patients with chronic periodontitis compared with matched healthy controls, before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy.

A novel chemotactic factor derived from the extracellular matrix protein decorin recruits mesenchymal stromal cells in vitro and in vivo.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Soft tissue is composed of cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix that is made up of a diverse array of intricately organized proteins. These distinct components work in concert to maintain homeostasis and respond to tissue damage.

Identification of the YfgF MASE1 domain as a modulator of bacterial responses to aspartate [PDF]

, 2013
Complex 3'-5'-cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) responsive regulatory networks that are modulated by the action of multiple diguanylate cyclases (DGC; GGDEF domain proteins) and phosphodiesterases (PDE; EAL domain proteins) have evolved in many bacteria.

Endothelin-1 Stimulates Monocytes in vitro to Release Chemotactic Activity Identified as Interleukin-8 and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
In the present study we examined whether endothelin-1 stimulation of human monocytes causes release of chemotactic factors. It was found that monocytes released neutrophil- and monocyte-chemotactic activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner in ...

Host transcriptional responses following ex vivo re-challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis vary with disease status. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The identification of immune correlates that are predictive of disease outcome for tuberculosis remains an ongoing challenge. To address this issue, we evaluated gene expression profiles from peripheral blood mononuclear cells following ex vivo challenge

Severity of experimental escherichia-coli mastitis in ketonemic and nonketonemic dairy-cows. [PDF]

, 1993
The severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis in relation to in vitro chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated in cows during negative energy balance. The negative energy balance was induced by feed restriction.

Damaged male germ cells induce epididymitis in mice

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2020
Epididymitis can be caused by infectious and noninfectious etiological factors. While microbial infections are responsible for infectious epididymitis, the etiological factors contributing to noninfectious epididymitis remain to be defined.

Chemotactic Activity in Dialyzable Transfer Factor [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
Dialyzable transfer factor from human leukocytes was found to be strongly chemotactic for granulocytes and weakly chemotactic for monocytes in vitro . Chemotactic properties were also demonstrated in vivo in rhesus monkey skin.
