Vitellogenin functions as a multivalent pattern recognition receptor with an opsonic activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: Vitellogenin (Vg), a major reproductive protein, has been associated with infection-resistant response in fish. However, the underlying mechanisms by which Vg is involved in anti-infectious response are not understood. METHODOLOGY/RESULTS: By

Mannose-Binding Lectin Inhibits the Motility of Pathogenic Salmonella by Affecting the Driving Forces of Motility and the Chemotactic Response. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key pattern recognition molecule in the lectin pathway of the complement system, an important component of innate immunity.

Blood Cell‐Camouflaged Liquid Metal Nanoconjugates Orchestrate Treg Depletion and STING‐Amplified Photothermal Immunity for Metastatic Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐blood biomimetic engineering transforms liquid metal nanoparticles into a tripartite immunotherapeutic platform that orchestrates regulatory T‐cell depletion, photothermal‐induced immunogenic cell death, and activation of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway.

Characterization of the effects of cross-linking of macrophage CD44 associated with increased phagocytosis of apoptotic PMN.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Control of macrophage capacity for apoptotic cell clearance by soluble mediators such as cytokines, prostaglandins and lipoxins, serum proteins, and glucocorticoids may critically determine the rate at which inflammation resolves.

Neutrophil Elastase and Chronic Lung Disease

Biomolecules, 2021
Neutrophil elastase (NE) is a major inflammatory protease released by neutrophils and is present in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, non-CF bronchiectasis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Macrophage Trogocytosis of Tumor Cells Drives the Immunosuppression of Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Trogocytosis efficiency varies significantly among different tumor cells and is inversely related to their cortical stiffness; this efficiency dictates the extent of immunosuppression via upregulation of CXCL5 and Arg‐1, ultimately driving CD8+T cell exhaustion and tumor escape.

Signaling pathways required for macrophage scavenger receptor-mediated phagocytosis: analysis by scanning cytometry

Respiratory Research, 2008
Background Scavenger receptors are important components of the innate immune system in the lung, allowing alveolar macrophages to bind and phagocytose numerous unopsonized targets.

Precision Nanomedicine for Traumatic Neural Injury: Functional Paradigms and Translational Frameworks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review presents a pathology‐driven framework unifying nanomedicine across TBI, SCI, and PNI. Epidemiological evidence and comparative single‐cell transcriptomic reanalysis define shared pathological modules, injury‐specific effectors, and therapeutic bottlenecks. Six functional paradigms connect nanomaterial structure and biological fate to injury‐

The The Interplay of Complements and their Regulators in the Human Body

Journal of Microbiological Sciences
An infection can be viewed as a battle between invading pathogen and the host. The complement system represents an evolutionarily conserved component of innate immunity designed to manage this ongoing conflict.

Complement Activation Linked to Type II Interferon Signaling in Still Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by innate immune dysregulation. Although complement can drive inflammation, its involvement in SD remains to be defined. Thus, we aimed to assess complement activation in SD. Methods Complement was assessed using transcriptomic, proteomic, and in vitro approaches. RNA sequencing
