A Local Counter-Regulatory Motif Modulates the Global Phase of Hormonal Oscillations [PDF]
, 2016 Counter-regulatory elements maintain dynamic equilibrium ubiquitously in living systems. The most prominent example, which is critical to mammalian survival, is that of pancreatic {\alpha} and {\beta} cells producing glucagon and insulin for glucose homeostasis.

The Origin of Langerhans Cells
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1980 Langerhans cells constitute a morphologically well-characterized subpopulation (3--8%) of mammalian epidermal cells and, in contrast to the bulk of epidermal cells, bear Fc-IgG and C3 receptors, express immune response associated (Ia) antigens, and function as antigen presenting cells and allogeneic stimulatory cells to primed T lymphocytes.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting as a blueberry muffin rash
Dermatology Reports, 2023 Langerhans cells, often referred to as the “macrophages of the skin”, are dendritic cells that normally reside in the epidermis and papillary dermis. Just like macrophages, they function as antigen-presenting cells that activate naive T cells.

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2008 Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasia characterized by accumulation of clonal CD1a-positive immature dendritic cells (LCH cells) accompanied by infiltration of various inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, and osteoclast-like multinuclear giant cells.

Physical Confinement and Cell Proximity Increase Cell Migration Rates and Invasiveness: A Mathematical Model of Cancer Cell Invasion through Flexible Channels [PDF]
, 2022 Cancer cell migration between different body parts is the driving force behind cancer metastasis, which is the main cause of mortality of patients. Migration of cancer cells often proceeds by penetration through narrow cavities in locally stiff, yet flexible tissues. In our previous work, we developed a model for cell geometry evolution during invasion,

On the coherent behavior of pancreatic beta cell clusters [PDF]
, 2014 Beta cells in pancreas represent an example of coupled biological oscillators which via communication pathways, are able to synchronize their electrical activity, giving rise to pulsatile insulin release. In this work we numerically analyze scale free self-similarity features of membrane voltage signal power density spectrum, through a stochastic ...

Pathophysiology of Langerhans cells
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2012 Langerhans cells (LCs) were first described by Paul Langerhans, in 1868, as dendritically shaped cells, which were located in the squamous epithelia of epidermis. Later on, these cells were identified in all stratified squamous epithelium of mammals. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in local defense mechanisms in the epithelium.

Evaluation of serum miR‐216a and miR‐375 as biomarkers in dogs with acute pancreatitis
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 92-100, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Serum microRNAs have emerged as biomarkers of various diseases. Overexpression of serum miR‐216a and miR‐375 occurs in dogs with experimentally induced acute pancreatitis (AP). Objectives To identify the possibility of using serum miR‐216a and miR‐375 as biomarkers for the diagnosis and evaluation of treatment response in dogs with ...
