The limitations of in vitro experimentation in understanding biofilms and chronic infection [PDF]
We have become increasingly aware that during infection, pathogenic bacteria often grow in multi- cellular biofilms which are often highly resistant to antibacterial strategies.

To explore the peculiarities of neutrophil motility, two models of chemoattraction were created: a horizontal model, where a container with bacterial chemoattractant was attached laterally to the endotheliocyte monolayer, and a vertical model, simulating

Background & Aims: Patients with acutely decompensated (AD) cirrhosis are immunocompromised and particularly susceptible to infections. This study investigated the immunomodulatory actions of albumin by which this protein may lower the incidence of ...

Intelligent Leukaemia Diagnosis with Bare-Bones PSO based Feature Optimization [PDF]
In this research, we propose an intelligent decision support system for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) diagnosis using microscopic images. Two Bare-bones Particle Swarm Optimization (BBPSO) algorithms are proposed to identify the most significant ...

Resident Macrophages Cloak Tissue Microlesions to Prevent Neutrophil-Driven Inflammatory Damage
Neutrophils are attracted to and generate dense swarms at sites of cell damage in diverse tissues, often extending the local disruption of organ architecture produced by the initial insult.

Effects of the PI3K pathway on neutrophil chemotaxis and swarming
Neutrophils form part of the innate immune system, they are the most abundant circulating leukocytes in humans and play a crucial role in host defence and inflammation. Upon stimulation, neutrophils leave the blood stream and chemotax to sites of inflammation after which they employ a range of effectors functions to eliminate the threat.

In the Eye of the Swarm: Unravelling Neutrophil Swarming Dynamics in Zebrafish [PDF]
Neutrophil dysfunctions are a major cause of chronic inflammatory diseases like COPD, but also infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Understanding neutrophil behaviour and pathways can lead to new therapeutic approaches aiding to relieve the burden of ...

TSP1/TGF-β1 drives arachidonic acid metabolism to orchestrate neutrophil swarming
Summary Neutrophil swarming has emerged as a conserved multicellular behaviour observed across tissues and pathological contexts. Yet, the molecular cues and the spatially coordinated cellular circuits that drive the process of neutrophil swarming leading to cluster formation remain poorly understood. Here, we combine spatial proteomics

Design and implementation of workflow tools for multiplexed time-lapse imaging experiments in zebrafish screening [PDF]
Recent high-throughput microscopy advancements have made it possible to perform multiplexed time-lapse imaging in a single experimental run. However, despite these technological improvements, a major gap remains in the practical application and ...
