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 ...

Copines are a family of cytosolic proteins that associate with membranes in a calcium‐dependent manner and are found in many eukaryotic organisms. Dictyostelium discoideum has six copine genes (cpnA‐cpnF), and cells lacking cpnA(cpnA−) have defects in ...

Superoxide dismutase C affects Dictyostelium contractile vacuole biogenesis and function
Dictyostelium cells cope with hypo‐osmotic stress with a contractile vacuole (CV) system, which consists of one or two vacuoles that cyclically charge and discharge.

An organelle K⁺ channel is required for osmoregulation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Fresh water protozoa and algae face hypotonic challenges in their living environment. Many of them employ a contractile vacuole system to uptake excessive water from the cytoplasm and expel it to the environment to achieve cellular homeostasis.

Ciliados (Protozoa) de sedimentos secos de una charca temporaria de la Argentina [PDF]
Temporary ponds represent special environments that are inhabited by organisms adapted to changing environmental conditions. Ciliates are able to survive complete loss of water in these transient habitats through cyst formation. Nevertheless, ciliates
