The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 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 ...

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.

Hypotonicity induces L-selectin shedding in human neutrophils [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2001
Expression levels of adhesion molecules on neutrophils are affected under various conditions, including ischemia, possibly because of associated increases in cell volume. We examined the effects of cell swelling in hypotonic media on the level of L-selectin (CD62L) and β2-integrin (CD18) on human neutrophils.

A high‐fat diet with vitamin D and propylthiouracil produces a pro‐atherogenic phenotype in rats

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Sprague–Dawley rats received a cholesterol‐rich high‐fat diet supplemented with vitamin D and propylthiouracil for 11 weeks. The model induced dyslipidemia (increased total cholesterol/low‐density lipoprotein, decreased triglycerides), inflammation (increased interleukin‐6 and serum amyloid A), hypercalcemia, and reduced circulating endothelial ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Expression of endothelia and lymphocyte adhesion molecules in bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) in adult human lung [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) is the secondary lymphoid tissue in bronchial mucosa and is involved in the development of bronchopulmonary immune responses.

USB1 deficiency disrupts neutrophil maturation via RNA dysregulation independent of global pre‐mRNA splicing

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the essential role of USB1 in neutrophil maturation. In normal myeloid cells, USB1 acts as an RNA exonuclease, trimming RNA tails to maintain proper RNA network function, which supports the differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells into mature neutrophils.

A Cooperative Release of Mitochondrial DNA From Platelets and Neutrophils Drives an Interferon Signature in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Mitochondria are organelles with a hypomethylated circular genome. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the systemic circulation has been implicated in inflammation. This study investigates the role of circulating DNA in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and the cellular mechanisms governing its release.

Animal Transport: Developing optimum animal handling procedures and effective transport strategies in the food production chain to improve animal welfare and food quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
End of project reportA series of studies were performed to investigate the effect of transport on liveweight, physiological and haematological responses of cattle. The first study was carried out over a 6 week period in the Spring of 2004.
