Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Expression and characterization of recombinant chicken mannose binding lectin

Immunobiology, 2017
Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is a serum collagenous C-type lectin that plays an important role in the innate immune protection against pathogens. Previously, human and mouse studies have demonstrated that MBL binds a broad range of pathogens that results in their neutralization through agglutination, enhanced phagocytosis, and/or complement activation ...

Protective immune response against Rhodococcus equi: An innate immunity‐focused review

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 563-586, May 2025.
Abstract Rhodococcus equi causes pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised people. Despite decades of research efforts, no vaccine is available against this common cause of disease and death in foals. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarise the current understanding of interactions between R. equi and the host innate immune

Innovative solutions to sticky situations: Antiadhesive strategies for treating bacterial infections [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial adherence to host tissue is an essential process in pathogenesis, necessary for invasion and colonization and often required for the efficient delivery of toxins and other bacterial effectors.

Realizing the promise of ‘La Dolce Vita’ via chemical biology: glycan‐motif editing of sLeX for precision cancer therapeutics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Modification of the glycocalyx via ‘glycan editing’ is distinguishable from ‘glycan‐motif editing’. The former broadly remodels the glycocalyx, whereas the latter inhibits expression only of a specific oligosaccharide motif within the glycocalyx by selectively dampening the bioactivity of the key glycosyltransferase(s) programming the biosynthesis of ...

Mannose-binding lectin may affect pregnancy outcome

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a component of the innate immune system and acts as a complement activator through the lectin pathway. Genetic variations of MBL and low MBL levels cause several infection problems, which may also be related to ...
