Monocyte adaptations in patients with obesity during a 1.5 year lifestyle intervention
BackgroundObesity is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation, which is reflected in altered peripheral blood monocyte characteristics. The aim of this study was to analyze the monocyte subset composition (classical (CM), intermediate (IM) and non-

The slan antigen identifies the prototypical non-classical CD16+-monocytes in human blood
IntroductionPeripheral monocytes in humans are conventionally divided into classical (CL, CD14++CD16−), intermediate (INT, CD14++CD16+) and non-classical (NC, CD14dim/−CD16++) cells, based on their expression levels of CD14 and CD16.

Pathological inflammation in patients with COVID-19: a key role for monocytes and macrophages
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2 has led to more than 200,000 deaths worldwide. Several studies have now established that the hyperinflammatory response induced by SARS-CoV-2 is a major cause of disease severity and death in ...

CCR2 Signaling Restricts SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a historic pandemic of respiratory disease (coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]), and current evidence suggests that severe disease is associated with dysregulated immunity within ...

Ammonia-induced Calcium Phosphate Nanostructure: A Potential Assay for Studying Osteoporosis and Bone Metastasis [PDF]
Osteoclastic resorption of bone plays a central role in both osteoporosis and bone metastasis. A reliable in vitro assay that simulates osteoclastic resorption in vivo would significantly speed up the process of devel-oping effective therapeutic solutions for those diseases. Here we reported the development of a novel and robust nano-structured calcium

Helicobacter pylori Infection of Primary Human Monocytes Boosts Subsequent Immune Responses to LPS
Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) affects almost half of the world’s population and is a major cause of stomach cancer. Although immune cells react strongly to this gastric bacterium, H.
