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 ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Success of a suicidal defense strategy against infection in a structured habitat [PDF]

, 2012
Pathogen infection often leads to the expression of virulence and host death when the host-pathogen symbiosis seems more beneficial for the pathogen. Previously proposed explanations have focused on the pathogen's side.

An Endonuclease Excising 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine in Regenerating Rat Liver [PDF]

, 2004
Oxidative DNA damage is generated in every tissue in the body, and is mainly excised by glycosylases. However, endonucleases and exonucleases are suggested as being present in tissues, since oxidized nucleosides such as thymidine glycol and 8-Oxo-2 ...

Immune cells composition in the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with systemic sclerosis

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and objectives Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and/or internal organs. Emerging evidence suggests that subcutaneous adipose tissue may contribute to systemic inflammation and fibrosis in SSc.

Codominance and toxins: A path to drugs of nearly unlimited selectivity [PDF]

, 1995
The effectiveness of drugs is often limited by their insufficient selectivity. I propose designs of therapeutic agents that address this problem. The key feature of these reagents, termed comtoxins (codominance-mediated toxins), is their ability to ...

Taxonomic and functional shifts in the microbiome of severely obese, prediabetic patients: Ketogenic diet versus energy‐matched standard diet

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading global health challenges of the 21st century. While caloric restriction remains the cornerstone of weight loss interventions, ketogenic diets (KD), characterised by low carbohydrate and high fat intake, have been shown to improve metabolic health partly by modulating the ...
