Phagocyte Escape of Leptospira: The Role of TLRs and NLRs [PDF]
The spirochetal bacteria Leptospira spp. are causative agents of leptospirosis, a globally neglected and reemerging zoonotic disease. Infection with these pathogens may lead to an acute and potentially fatal disease but also to chronic asymptomatic renal

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

Cellular responses of Candida albicans to phagocytosis and the extracellular activities of neutrophils are critical to counteract carbohydrate starvation, oxidative and nitrosative stress [PDF]
Acknowledgments We thank Alexander Johnson (yhb1D/D), Karl Kuchler (sodD/D mutants), Janet Quinn (hog1D/D, hog1/cap1D/D, trx1D/D) and Peter Staib (ssu1D/D) for providing mutant strains.

The mechanisms that lead to disease onset and propagation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are not fully elucidated. Maresins (MaR) are a family of essential fatty acid-derived lipid mediators that play a central role in the regulation of ...

Little is known about the interactions among phagocytes and antifungal agents and the antifungal immunomodulatory activities on Candida species biofilms. Here, inhibition of C. albicans biofilms and the interactions among biofilms and phagocytes alone or

Phagocyte Chemoattraction Is Induced through the Mcp-1–Ccr2 Axis during Efferocytosis
Apoptotic cells generated during development and for tissue homeostasis are swiftly and continuously removed by phagocytes via a process called efferocytosis.

EFFECT OF INTRACRANIAL CATHETER PLACEMENT ON MICROGLIA METABOLIC PROFILE OF RATS [PDF]
The aim of the work was to investigate the effect of the intracranial catheter placement on the metabolic profile of rat microglia. Microglial cells were isolated by the centrifugation in Percoll gradient.

Pleiotropic effects of PPAR-α – from benchside to bedside
Here we review literature data on properties of a member of nuclear hormone receptors - peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α. It was shown that PPARα was expressed on different cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, B- and T-cells.

The immediate and natural reaction to both infectious challenges and sterile insults (wounds, tissue trauma or crystal deposition) is an acute inflammatory response. This inflammatory response is mediated by activation of the innate immune system largely
