Dysregulation of of phospholipid-specific phagocytosis by B1 B cells in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]
B1 B cells have received increasing attention recently due to their newly discovered phagocytic and microbicidal capabilities. Several studies have demonstrated that B1 cells can phagocytize polystyrene fluorescent particles, bacteria (Staphylococcus ...

Mechanisms and roles of phagocytosis in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans
Our understanding of the humoral immune response in both vertebrates and invertebrates has dramatically deepened in the past decade. In contrast, many of the mechanisms and roles of the cellular immune response remain to be elucidated. Phagocytosis is at

Reduced Phagocytic Capacity of Blood Monocyte/Macrophages in Tuberculosis Patients Is Further Reduced by Smoking. [PDF]
Tuberculosis (TB) and tobacco use are two major alarming global health issues posing immense threats to human populations. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by activation of macrophages could induce the sequences of cells activation and releases of ...

Value of phagocyte function screening for immunotoxicity of nanoparticles in vivo
Nanoparticles (NPs) present in the environment and in consumer products can cause immunotoxic effects. The immune system is very complex, and in vivo studies are the gold standard for evaluation.

Possible role of extracellularly released phagocytic proteinases in the coagulation disorder during liver transplantation [PDF]
Orthotopic liver transplantation is frequently associated with a complex coagulation disorder, influencing the outcome of the procedure. In this respect, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) had been suggested to be of causative importance for ...

Tumor-induced senescent T cells promote the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors by human monocytes/macrophages through a mechanism that involves Tim-3 and CD40L [PDF]
Solid tumors are infiltrated by immune cells where macrophages and senescent T cells are highly represented. Within the tumor microenvironment, a cross-talk between the infiltrating cells may occur conditioning the characteristic of the in situ immune ...
