DAMPs and PDT-mediated photo-oxidative stress: exploring the unknown [PDF]
, 2011 Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or cell death associated molecular patterns (CDAMPs) are a subset of endogenous intracellular molecules that are normally hidden within living cells but become either passively released by primary and ...

Effects of Growth Temperatures on the Fatty Acid Composition of Isolated Chloroplasts From Two Species Differing in Heat Sensitivity [PDF]
, 1985 Lipid analyses of chloroplasts isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Arthur) and milo (Sorghum bicolor cv. Funk\u27s hybrid 522) suggest no major heat effect on lipid class distribution.

Dynamics of phagocytosis mediated by phosphatidylserine
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2022 Phagocytosis triggered by the phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is key for the removal of apoptotic cells in development, tissue homeostasis and infection. Modulation of PS-mediated phagocytosis is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in the context of atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer.

Induction of Suicidal Erythrocyte Death by Cantharidin
Toxins, 2015 The natural phosphoprotein phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin, primarily used for topical treatment of warts, has later been shown to trigger tumor cell apoptosis and is thus considered for the treatment of malignancy. Similar to apoptosis of tumor cells,

Galectin-1 sensitizes resting human T lymphocytes to Fas (CD95)-mediated cell death via mitochondrial hyperpolarization, budding, and fission. [PDF]
, 2005 Galectins have emerged as a novel family of immunoregulatory proteins implicated in T cell homeostasis. Recent studies showed that galectin-1 (Gal-1) plays a key role in tumor-immune escape by killing antitumor effector T cells.
