The role of acquired host immunity in periodontal diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this narrative review is to relate the contribution of European researchers to the complex topic of the host immune system in periodontal disease, focusing on acquired immunity. Other chapters in this volume will address the genetics and autoantibody responses and other forms of immunity to periodontal disease.

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy as a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction in pre‐eclampsia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy impairs maternal endothelial function, which, in turn, drives the development of pre‐eclampsia and may also contribute to the increased risk of later‐life cardiovascular disease in women.

Utility of local capillary supply indices: Insights from computational image‐based modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Local capillary distribution and fibre geometry influence oxygen availability in skeletal muscle. Image‐based modelling of tissue PO2${{P}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ shows that area‐based measures of capillary supply – the local capillary density (LCDi) and local maximum diffusion distance (Dmax,i) – most accurately represent the ...

Gait analysis for functional evaluation in a surgical hindlimb suspension model of muscle atrophy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Gait analysis reveals neuromuscular dysfunction following hindlimb suspension and partial recovery after reloading. Schematic overview of the experimental design and principal findings. Mice underwent 14 days of hindlimb suspension (HLS), resulting in muscle atrophy marked by reduced fiber size, satellite cell loss, and decreased

Ficolins and the lectin complement pathway

Immunological Reviews, 2001
Summary:Ficolins, found in various tissues, are a group of proteins containing both a collagen‐like and a fibrinogen‐like domain. Recently, it was shown that ficolins present in serum are lectins with a common binding specificity for N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). The fibrinogen‐like domain is responsible for the carbohydrate binding.

Assays for the Mannan‐Binding Lectin Pathway

Current Protocols in Immunology, 2003
AbstractThis unit contains protocols that can be used to measure mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) levels and MBL pathway activity in human plasma or serum. Using a modification of the conventional ELISA, the detection reagent used in the methods described (e.g., an antibody or streptavidin) is labeled with Eu3+ instead of an enzyme.

Lysis via the lectin pathway of complement activation: minireview and lectin pathway enhancement of endotoxin-initiated hemolysis

Immunopharmacology, 1999
Lysis via the newly discovered lectin pathway of complement activation is reviewed. Mannan-coated erythrocytes sensitized with MBL are lysed in human serum containing Mg-EGTA via the lectin pathway by a process which requires alternative pathway amplification.
