The Role of Scavenger Receptor BI in Sepsis. [PDF]
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. Currently, there is no effective therapy for sepsis due to an incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis. Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor that plays a key role in HDL metabolism by modulating the selective uptake

Macrophages are a diverse group of phagocytic cells acting in host protection against stress, injury, and pathogens. Here, we show that the scavenger receptor SR-A6 is an entry receptor for human adenoviruses in murine alveolar macrophage-like MPI cells,

Activated scavenger receptor A promotes glial internalization of aβ. [PDF]
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates have a pivotal role in pathological processing of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The clearance of Aβ monomer or aggregates is a causal strategy for AD treatment.

Macrophage Scavenger Receptor Class A [PDF]
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.

Scavenger Receptor C1 Mediates Toxicity of Binary Toxin from Lysinibacillus sphaericus to Ag55 Cells [PDF]
Lysinibacillus sphaericus harboring Binary (BinA and BinB) toxins is highly toxic against Anopheles and Culex mosquito larvae. The Anopheles Ag55 cell line is a suitable model for investigating the mode of Bin toxin action.

Scavenger receptors (SRs) are a large family of cell-surface receptors that are diverse in their structure and biological function and are divided into different classes. SRs can bind to a range of ligands and enhance the elimination of altered-self or non-self targets.

Class A scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) restricts hepatitis C virus replication by mediating toll-like receptor 3 recognition of viral RNAs produced in neighboring cells [PDF]
Persistent infections with hepatitis C virus (HCV) may result in life-threatening liver disease, including cirrhosis and cancer, and impose an important burden on human health.

Significance Here we report that targeting the pattern recognition receptor MARCO on macrophages within the tumor alters their polarization and in turn activate natural killer (NK) cells to kill the tumor.
