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 ...

Impaired interleukin-1beta and c-Fos expression in the hippocampus is associated with a spatial memory deficit in P2X(7) receptor-deficient mice. [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), which was originally identified as a proinflammatory cytokine, is also required in the brain for memory processes.

The Second Transmembrane Domain of P2X7 Contributes to Dilated Pore Formation [PDF]
Activation of the purinergic receptor P2X7 leads to the cellular permeability of low molecular weight cations. To determine which domains of P2X7 are necessary for this permeability, we exchanged either the C-terminus or portions of the second ...

Malarial hemozoin activates the NLRP3 inflammasome through Lyn and Syk kinases. [PDF]
The intraerythrocytic parasite Plasmodium -- the causative agent of malaria -- produces an inorganic crystal called hemozoin (Hz) during the heme detoxification process, which is released into the circulation during erythrocyte lysis.

IL-1beta processing in host defense: beyond the inflammasomes. [PDF]
Stimulation and release of proinflammatory cytokines is an essential step for the activation of an effective innate host defense, and subsequently for the modulation of adaptive immune responses.
