Formation of Extracellular Traps - the Effective Mechanism of Organism Protection from Pathogen

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2012
Summarized and analyzed are modern literature data on capability of cells (neutrophils, eosinophils and labrocytes) realizing the mechanisms of innate immunity, to form extracellular traps that capture and kill pathogens by secretion of DNA and ...

Unveiling the Extracellular Space of the Brain: From Super-resolved Microstructure to In Vivo Function

Journal of Neuroscience, 2018
The extracellular space occupies approximately one-fifth of brain volume, molding a spider web of gaps filled with interstitial fluid and extracellular matrix where neurons and glial cells perform in concert.

Release of podocalyxin into the extracellular space

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2011
Podocalyxin (PODXL) is a type I membrane mucoprotein abundantly presented in the epithelial cells (podocytes) of kidney glomeruli where it plays an important role in maintaining the plasma filtration. PODXL is also expressed in other types of cells but its function is ignored.

Multiphase modelling of tumour growth and extracellular matrix interaction: mathematical tools and applications [PDF]

, 2009
Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid.

Effective Extracellular Volume Fraction Determined by Equilibrium Contrast-Enhanced CT for Differentiating Autoimmune Pancreatitis from Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether extracellular volume (ECV) fraction as determined by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) can help distinguish between autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and pancreatic ductal ...

Spatial model of convective solute transport in brain extracellular space does not support a “glymphatic” mechanism

The Journal of General Physiology, 2016
A “glymphatic mechanism” has been proposed to mediate convective fluid transport from para-arterial to paravenous extracellular space in the brain. Jin et al.

Bridging the gap between the micro- and the macro-world of tumors [PDF]

, 2012
At present it is still quite difficult to match the vast knowledge on the behavior of individual tumor cells with macroscopic measurements on clinical tumors.

Studying the extracellular contribution to the double wave vector diffusion-weighted signal

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2015
The use of two independent diffusion periods between excitation and acquisition, known as double wave vector (DWV) diffusion-weighting or double diffusion encoding, was proven to yield structural information that it is otherwise not easily available in ...

Tumor interstitial fluid formation, characterization and clinical implications

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
The interstitium, situated between the blood and lymph vessels and the cells, consists of a solid or matrix phase and a fluid phase, together constituting the tissue microenvironment.
