Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Contributes to Antileishmanial Function of Miltefosine [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2015 Abstract Miltefosine [hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC)] is the only orally bioavailable drug for the disease visceral leishmaniasis, which is caused by the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. Although miltefosine has direct leishmanicidal effects, evidence is mounting for its immune system–dependent effects.

Inducing Chirality and Chiral Instabilities in Ferrogels with Homogenous Magnetic Fields
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.By pre‐aligning magnetic particles into chains, significant chiral deformations are induced by fixing the base of a cylindrical actuator and applying a homogeneous magnetic field. Subsequent base rotation can drive the system into metastable states. Further rotation or reduction of field strength triggers a chiral instability, characterized by a switch

An immune-adrenergic pathway induces lethal levels of platelet-activating factor in mice
Communications BiologyAcute immune responses with excess production of cytokines, lipid/chemical mediators, or coagulation factors, often result in lethal damage. In addition, the innate immune system utilizes multiple types of receptors that recognize neurotransmitters as ...
