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 ...

Increased levels of hyaluronic acid in bronchoalveolar lavage from patients with interstitial lung diseases, relationship with lung function and inflammatory cells recruitment [PDF]
Purpose: Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) are characterized by inflammation and fibrosis. It described the role of hyaluronic acid (HA) as an immune-regulator. It is not known if HA contributes to the recruitment of inflammatory cells associated with ILD.

Y332D, a bispecific antibody that simultaneously blockades VEGF and TGF‐β, counteracted negative RT effects that are attributed to the upregulation of TGF‐β and VEGF, as well as further enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of RT, thereby reprograming the TME from immune “cold” to inflamed state and forming an effective in‐situ vaccine that eradicate ...

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of stress response in a spinal cord clip compression injury model. [PDF]
BackgroundThe aneurysm clip impact-compression model of spinal cord injury (SCI) is a standard injury model in animals that closely mimics the primary mechanism of most human injuries: acute impact and persisting compression.

Fragment Autoantigens Stimulated T‐Cell‐Immunotherapy (FAST) as a Fast Autologous Cancer Vaccine
A personalized whole tumor cell vaccine (FAST) is developed to address immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments and genomic instability‐driven heterogeneity. Irradiation and cryoablation‐treated tumor cells generate fragmented antigens (FAs) that activate broad‐spectrum antigen presentation via upregulated immunogenic cell death, MHC‐I, and damage ...

This study employs neutrophils for the precise delivery of anti‐CD47 antibodies, combined with bacterial outer membrane vesicles, to enhance macrophage phagocytic function in the tumor microenvironment. This approach effectively activates T‐cell anti‐tumor immune responses and significantly reduces the risk of postoperative tumor recurrence and ...

Modulation of human lymphocyte function by C3a and C3a(70-77). [PDF]
Human C3a and the synthetic octapeptide C3a (70-77), which retains the activities of an anaphylatoxin, inhibit in a concentration-dependent manner the generation of leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF) activity by human mononuclear leukocytes and T ...

Chemotaxis of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes by Protein A of the Staphylococcus
SummaryProtein A, a component of staphylococcal cell wall in the presence of fresh human serum is highly chemotactic in vitro for human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Chemotaxis is dependent upon heat-labile factors, presumably complement within serum.

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Generation of unique mono-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids from arachidonic acid by human neutrophils. [PDF]
Incubation of [3H]arachidonic acid with the 17,000-g supernatant from homogenates of human neutrophils in the presence of indomethacin generated the unique metabolites 9-OH-5,7,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (9-HETE) and 8-HETE, in addition to 12-HETE, 11 ...
