The Application of Polymeric Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Carriers to Cells in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polymeric nanoparticles represent promising drug (gene) delivery carriers to the brain due to their unique advantages to facilitate the penetration of blood–brain barrier and endocytosis of neuronal cells in neurodegenerative diseases. ABSTRACT In spite of great advances in modern medicine, there are a few effective strategies for the treatment of ...

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.

Hemocytes: Central drivers of antimicrobial peptide expression and immune proteins in both cellular and humoral responses of Galleria mellonella

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed gallerimycin, galiomycin, and hemolin gene expression in Galleria mellonella whole larvae, hemocytes, and fat body at 4 and 24 h post‐injection of Candida albicans and silica beads. Higher gallerimycin and galiomycin expression in hemocytes signified their role in antimicrobial peptide synthesis.
