Phagocytic Uptake ofEncephalitozoon cuniculiby Nonprofessional Phagocytes [PDF]
ABSTRACTEncephalitozoon cuniculiis an obligate intracellular, spore-forming parasite belonging to the microsporidia that can cause disseminated infection in immunocompromised persons.E. cuniculispores infect host cells by germination, i.e., by explosively everting the polar filament, through which the spore contents (sporoplasms) are subsequently ...

Dangerous Liaisons: Interactions of Cryptococcus neoformans with Host Phagocytes [PDF]
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions of this yeast with host phagocytes are critical to disease outcome, and C. neoformans is equipped with an array of

Dwellers and Trespassers: Mononuclear Phagocytes at the Borders of the Central Nervous System. [PDF]
The central nervous system (CNS) parenchyma is enclosed and protected by a multilayered system of cellular and acellular barriers, functionally separating glia and neurons from peripheral circulation and blood-borne immune cells. Populating these borders

Neurodegenerative phagocytes mediate synaptic stripping in Neuro-HIV. [PDF]
Glial cell activation is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. During HIV infection, neuroinflammation is associated with cognitive impairment, even during sustained long-term suppressive antiretroviral therapy. However,

Congenital defects of phagocytes [PDF]
Phagocytes form the first line of defense against invading pathogens and play a key role in wound healing following tissue injury. A broad range of monogenic defects affecting phagocyte numbers and/or function have been described.

The cytogenesis of ascitic phagocytes [PDF]
Judging from our vital observation conducted mainly by tissue culture, it was firmly demonstrated that ascitic phagocytes are not histiocytes but they are the cells closely related to monocytes and that the sites of the genesis are the milky spots of the

Pre-treatment with poloxamer surfactant augments estrogen-mediated bacterial clearance by phagocytes in an in vitro model of chronic wound biofilms [PDF]
Chronic wounds are common in the elderly and lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests that age-related impaired healing may result in part from a decline in estrogen-mediated signalling with increasing age.

Dermal mononuclear phagocytes [PDF]
In immune responses of the skin, the connective tissue environment of the dermis plays a decisive role. Large numbers of resident mononuclear phagocytes are located here and these are thought to be crucial for the initiation and regulation of such ...
