Defective expression of scavenger receptors in celiac disease mucosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten sensitive enteropathy characterized by a marked infiltration of the mucosa with immune cells, over-production of inflammatory cytokines and epithelial cell damage.

Apoptotic cell recognition receptors and scavenger receptors [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2015 SummaryPhosphatidylserine recognition receptors are a highly diverse set of receptors grouped by their ability to recognize the ‘eat‐me’ signal phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells. Most of the phosphatidylserine recognition receptors dampen inflammation by inducing the production of anti‐inflammatory mediators during the phagocytosis of apoptotic ...

Homeostasis: A scavenger receptor for haemoglobin [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 Recent studies have identified a macrophage-specific receptor for the clearance of haemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes, which protects the host against the toxicity of free haemoglobin.

Innate scavenger receptor-A regulates adaptive T helper cell responses to pathogen infection
Nature Communications, 2017 Scavenger receptors can function as pattern recognition receptors to sense infection. Here the authors show that, in response to worm and bacterial infection, scavenger receptor class A prevents nuclear localization of IRF5 and thereby drives M2 ...

LRP: a multifunctional scavenger and signaling receptor [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2001 The LDL receptor–related protein (LRP) is larger than but structurally similar to other members of the LDL receptor gene family, an ancient family of endocytic receptors (1–3). Whereas the LDL receptor, the founding member of this family, appears to act solely in lipoprotein metabolism, the LRP and other members of this family appear to have other ...

Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]
EMBO J 22, 18 (15/09/2003) 4656-65, 2007 Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

The macrophage scavenger receptor CD163
Immunobiology, 2005 Mature tissue macrophages form a first line of defense to recognize and eliminate potential pathogens; these specialized cells are capable of phagocytosis, degradation of self and foreign materials, establishment of cell-cell interactions, and the production of inflammatory mediators.

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2019 OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Scavenger receptor (SR) surface proteins are highly conserved motifs and are implicated in the uptake of nanotherapies. Gold nanoparticles functionalized with DNAzymes (DzNP) represent a promising novel nanotherapy for lung ...

Effect of Rain Scavenging on Altitudinal Distribution of Soluble Gaseous Pollutants in the Atmosphere [PDF]
, 2010 We suggest a model of rain scavenging of soluble gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere. It is shown that below-cloud gas scavenging is determined by non-stationary convective diffusion equation with the effective Peclet number. The obtained equation was analyzed numerically in the case of log-normal droplet size distribution.
