Mannose-Binding Lectin (MBL) Facilitates Opsonophagocytosis of Yeasts but Not of Bacteria despite MBL Binding [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2008 AbstractMannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum protein of the innate immune system. After binding to a microorganism, MBL in complex with MBL-associated serine proteases activates the complement system, resulting in cleavage of complement factor C3. Cleaved C3 on the surface of the microorganism mediates opsonization for clearance, but the impact of ...

Reconstitution of Opsonizing Activity by Infusion of Mannan‐Binding Lectin (MBL) to MBL‐Deficient Humans [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 1998 Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL, previously named mannan‐binding protein, MBP) is a serum collectin, which activates complement upon binding to microbial carbohydrates. This results in opsonization of the micro‐organisms as well as direct complement‐mediated killing.

Autophagosome marker, LC3, is released extracellularly via several distinct pathways
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study establishes a novel HiBiT‐tagging system for ultrasensitive detection of LC3, revealing multiple pathways for its extracellular secretion. It demonstrates that LC3 is released via both autophagy‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms, including a novel route for nonlipidated LC3‐I.

Neural Control of Dynamic 3-Dimensional Skin Papillae for Cuttlefish Camouflage
iScience, 2018 Summary: The color and pattern changing abilities of octopus, squid, and cuttlefish via chromatophore neuro-muscular organs are unparalleled. Cuttlefish and octopuses also have a unique muscular hydrostat system in their skin.

Lidar observations and modeling of cold air outbreaks during MASEX and GALE [PDF]
, 1986 As part of MASEX and GALE a number of research flights were carried out over the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) during periods when extremely cold and dry continental air was flowing out over the warm coastal waters at the east coast of the U.S.

Many-body synchronization of interacting qubits by engineered ac-driving
, 2011 In this work we introduce the many-body synchronization of an interacting qubit ensemble which allows one to switch dynamically from many-body-localized (MBL) to an ergodic state.
