The Formation and Renewal of Photoreceptor Outer Segments
CellsThe visual system is essential for humans to perceive the environment. In the retina, rod and cone photoreceptor neurons are the initial sites where vision forms.

Anisotropic presentation of ligands on cargos modulates degradative function of phagosomes
Biophysical Reports, 2022 Anisotropic arrangement of cell wall components is ubiquitous among bacteria and fungi, but how such functional anisotropy affects interactions between microbes and host immune cells is not known.

Dysfunctional Light-Evoked Regulation of cAMP in Photoreceptors and Abnormal Retinal Adaptation in Mice Lacking Dopamine D4 Receptors [PDF]
, 2002 Dopamine is a retinal neuromodulator that has been implicated in many aspects of retinal physiology. Photoreceptor cells express dopamine D4 receptors that regulate cAMP metabolism.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phagosome [PDF]
, 2008 Tuberculosis is currently the most devastating human bacterial disease, causing millions of deaths annually and infecting an overwhelming percentage of the global population. Its success as a scourge lies in the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to prevent normal phagolysosome biogenesis, essential to the destruction of invading microorganisms ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Mechanism of inducible nitric oxide synthase exclusion from mycobacterial phagosomes.
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Mycobacterium tuberculosis is sensitive to nitric oxide generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Consequently, to ensure its survival in macrophages, M. tuberculosis inhibits iNOS recruitment to its phagosome by an unknown mechanism.

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 ...
