Clinical implications of leukocyte infiltration at the choroid plexus in (neuro)inflammatory disorders

open access: yesDrug Discovery Today, 2015
The choroid plexus (CP) is a highly vascularized organ located in the brain ventricles and contains a single epithelial cell layer forming the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB).

Internalizing disorders and leukocyte telomere erosion: a prospective study of depression, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2014
There is evidence that persistent psychiatric disorders lead to age-related disease and premature mortality. Telomere length has emerged as a promising biomarker in studies that test the hypothesis that internalizing psychiatric disorders are associated ...

Disorders of Leukocyte Chemotaxis

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1977
The rapid accumulation of inflammatory cells at sites of microbial invasion or neoplastic transformation is a central event in immunologically-mediated host defense. The availability of methodology to accurately quantify leukocyte migration in vitro has allowed the disclosure of previously unrecognized clinical disorders, namely leukocyte dysmotility ...

Disorders of Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Function

Hospital Practice, 1985
In Part II of the discussion of PMN function, the focus is on ways in which the complex biochemical processes that modulate cell motility and oxygen radical formation can go wrong. Derangements of these functions—hyperactive as well as hypoactive phagocytosis—lead to clinical disorders that predispose the host to infection and inflammatory reactions.

Leukocyte function and nonmalignant leukocyte disorders

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1993
This review summarizes recent literature regarding the clinical and molecular features of nonmalignant leukocyte disorders in children. Leukocyte adhesion deficiency and chronic granulomatous disease, two inherited disorders of neutrophil function, continue to be the best-characterized disorders with respect to specific molecular defects.

Nonmalignant Disorders of Leukocytes

DeckerMed Medicine, 2011
Leukocytes, also known as white blood cells, are hematologic cells important for a host’s immune defense. They comprise several diverse cell types including lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils. Each plays a unique and important role in fighting infection, cancer surveillance, and maintaining immune homeostasis.

Leukocyte Function in Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders

Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 1998
The myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) are clonal diseases that originate from a transformed stem cell and involve all myeloid lineage. The affected cells have both proliferative and functional impairment. Therefore, we evaluated and compared neutrophil function in 31 patients with polycythemia vera (PV), idiopathic myelofibrosis (MF), chronic myeloid ...

Leukocyte-Related Disorders: A Review for the Pediatrician

Pediatric Annals, 2020
Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are part of the innate immune system that defends against infectious and foreign agents. In pediatrics, it is important to use age-specific laboratory values when interpreting results. Infections are the most common cause of leukocytosis or leukopenia in children.
