Macrophage Scavenger Receptor Class A [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2000
Abstract—In atherogenesis, elevated plasma levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) lead to the chronic presence of LDL in the arterial wall. There, LDL is modified (eg, oxidized), and these modified lipoproteins activate endothelial cells, which attract circulating monocytes.

Multi‐Responsive Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lubricating and Immunoregulatory Functions for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel with dynamic cross‐links was formed by cross‐linking hyaluronic acid with curcumin‐preloaded, phenylboronic acid‐modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. This hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability and self‐healing ability, enabling controlled Cur release in response to low pH, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, or mechanical ...

Polymorphism of class A scavenger receptors in C57BL/6 mice1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Scavenger receptors class A (SR-A) have been hypothesized to regulate the development of atherosclerotic lesions through recognition of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) and macrophage adhesion to substrata.

New insights into the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of glucocorticoids : an emerging role for glucocorticoid-receptor-mediated transactivation [PDF]

, 2013
Glucocorticoids are anti-inflammatory drugs that are widely used for the treatment of numerous (autoimmune) inflammatory diseases. They exert their actions by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a member of the nuclear receptor family of ...

Cyclic Olefin Copolymers as Versatile Materials for Advanced Engineering Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) are presented as highly versatile materials combining tunable synthesis, excellent optical properties, and mechanical robustness. Their potential spans microfluidics, bioengineering, and advanced electronics, while emerging self‐healing and sustainable solutions highlight future opportunities.

The hydrophobic tunnel present in LOX-1 is essential for oxidized LDL recognition and binding

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Lectin-like oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a type-II transmembrane protein that belongs to the C-type lectin family of molecules. LOX-1 acts as a cell surface endocytosis receptor and mediates the recognition and internalization of ox-LDL by

Identification of a Candidate CD5 Homologue in the Amphibian Xenopus laevis [PDF]

, 1995
We identified a novel T cell Ag in the South African clawed toad (Xenopus laevis) by a mAb designated 2B1. This Ag is present in relatively high levels on most thymocytes, approximately 65% of splenocytes, 55% of PBL, and 65% of intestinal lymphocytes ...

Scavenger Receptors in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2000
The existence of a cell surface receptor, now known as the macrophage scavenger receptor A I/II (MSR-A), was inferred from early studies based on ligand binding analyses. Description of this binding activity, with acetylated low density lipoprotein (LDL) used as a ligand, was important because it provided a mechanism for the formation of foam cells in ...

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Graphene Nanoflake Uptake Mediated by Scavenger Receptors [PDF]

Nano Letters, 2019
The biological interactions of graphene have been extensively investigated over the last 10 years. However, very little is known about graphene interactions with the cell surface and how the graphene internalization process is driven and mediated by specific recognition sites at the interface with the cell.
