Convolution of chemoattractant secretion rate, source density, and receptor desensitization direct diverse migration patterns in leukocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chemoattractants regulate diverse immunological, developmental, and pathological processes, but how cell migration patterns are shaped by attractant production in tissues remains incompletely understood.

Chitotriosidase Activity Is Counterproductive in a Mouse Model of Systemic Candidiasis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mammalian cells do not produce chitin, an insoluble polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), although chitin is a structural component of the cell wall of pathogenic microorganisms such as Candida albicans.

Neutrophils are required for both the sensitization and elicitation phase of contact hypersensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Allergic contact dermatitis and its animal model, contact hypersensitivity (CHS), are T cell-mediated inflammatory skin diseases induced by contact allergens.

Neutrophils in cancer: neutral no more [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neutrophils are indispensable antagonists of microbial infection and facilitators of wound healing. In the cancer setting, a newfound appreciation for neutrophils has come into view.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa mexR and mexEF Antibiotic Efflux Pump Variants Exhibit Increased Virulence

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are the primary cause of mortality in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Yet, it has only recently become appreciated that resistance mutations can also increase P.

Genomic analysis and immune response in a murine mastitis model of vB_EcoM-UFV13, a potential biocontrol agent for use in dairy cows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bovine mastitis remains the main cause of economic losses for dairy farmers. Mammary pathogenic Escherichia coli (MPEC) is related to an acute mastitis and its treatment is still based on the use of antibiotics.

Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Mater
This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

A novel cellular pathway of antigen presentation and CD4 T cell activation in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Dendritic cell activation of CD4 T cells in the lymph node draining a site of infection or vaccination is widely considered the central event in initiating adaptive immunity.

Self-extinguishing relay waves enable homeostatic control of human neutrophil swarming

open access: yes, 2023
Neutrophils exhibit self-amplified swarming to sites of injury and infection. How swarming is controlled to ensure the proper level of neutrophil recruitment is unknown. Using an ex vivo model of infection, we find that human neutrophils use active relay to generate multiple pulsatile waves of ...

Marginal Zone B Cells Assist With Neutrophil Accumulation to Fight Against Systemic Staphylococcus aureus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
In addition to regulating immune responses by producing antibodies that confer humoral immunity, B cells can also affect these responses by producing cytokines.
