Analysis of cellular responses of macrophages to zinc ions and zinc oxide nanoparticles: a combined targeted and proteomic approach [PDF]
Nanoscale 6, 11 (2014) 6102-14, 2014 Two different zinc oxide nanoparticles, as well as zinc ions, are used to study the cellular responses of the RAW 264 macrophage cell line. A proteomic screen is used to provide a wide view of the molecular effects of zinc, and the most prominent results are cross-validated by targeted studies.

Expression of the Alpha8 Integrin Chain Facilitates Phagocytosis by Renal Mesangial Cells
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Background/Aims: Healing of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis involves degradation of excess extracellular matrix, resolution of hypercellularity by apoptosis and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Integrin receptors participate in the regulation of

Phase field model for phagocytosis dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The basic process of the innate immune system when phagocyte (white blood cell) engulf or swallow a target particle (bacterium or dead cell), is called phagocytosis. We apply the phase field approach in the spirit of [1], that couples the order parameter $u$ with 3D polarization (orientation) vector field $\textbf{P}$ of the actin network of the ...

Bigraphical models for protein and membrane interactions [PDF]
EPTCS 11, 2009, pp. 3-18, 2009 We present a bigraphical framework suited for modeling biological systems both at protein level and at membrane level. We characterize formally bigraphs corresponding to biologically meaningful systems, and bigraphic rewriting rules representing biologically admissible interactions.

The involvement of MiR-1-clathrin pathway in the regulation of phagocytosis.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phagocytosis, one of the most powerful immune responses, is a complicated process regulated by many factors. However the regulation of phagocytosis mediated by microRNAs has not been extensively investigated.

Phagosome-lysosome fusion is a calcium-independent event in macrophages. [PDF]
, 1996 Phagosome-lysosome membrane fusion is a highly regulated event that is essential for intracellular killing of microorganisms. Functionally, it represents a form of polarized regulated secretion, which is classically dependent on increases in ...

Reticulocalbin-1 facilitates microglial phagocytosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Phagocytosis is critical to the clearance of apoptotic cells, cellular debris and deleterious metabolic products for tissue homeostasis. Phagocytosis ligands directly recognizing deleterious cargos are the key to defining the functional roles of ...

Research progress of astrocyte phagocytosis in Alzheimer′s disease [PDF]
Jichu yixue yu linchuangAstrocytes are heavily activated in Alzheimer′s disease, engulfing damaged synapses, Aβ proteins, Tau proteins, apoptotic cells and other substrates. However, these substrates are difficult to degrade, accumulate as the disease progresses, and impair the
