The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 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 ...

Myofiber structure, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca<sup>2+</sup> handling, and contractile function after muscle-damaging exercise in humans. [PDF]
Physiol RepAlterations in myofiber Ca2+ handling systems after eccentrically, damaging exercise. Created in https://BioRender.com. Abstract Exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by a severe and prolonged decline in force‐generating capacity. However, the precise cellular mechanisms underlying the observed long‐lasting decline in force‐generating ...

Model of inverse bleb growth explains giant vacuole dynamics during cell mechanoadaptation [PDF]
, 2022 Cells can withstand hostile environmental conditions manifest as large mechanical forces such as pressure gradients and/or shear stresses by dynamically changing their shape. Such conditions are realized in the Schlemm's canal of the eye where endothelial cells that cover the inner vessel wall are subjected to the hydrodynamic pressure gradients ...

An organelle K⁺ channel is required for osmoregulation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
, 2016 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.

Structural organization of Trypanosoma cruzi
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 Since the initial description of Trypanosoma cruzi by Carlos Chagas in 1909, several research groups have used different microscopic techniques to obtain detailed information about the various developmental stages found in the life cycle of this ...
