The atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3/CXCR7 is a broad-spectrum scavenger for opioid peptides

Nature Communications, 2020
Opioids modulate pain, anxiety and stress by activating four subtypes of opioid receptors. The authors show that atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) is a scavenger for various endogenous opioid peptides regulating their availability without activating ...

Mimicking Silent Synapse Recruitment: A SiOx/Cu‐Pancake Memristive Device For Analog Neuromorphic Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroforming‐free TiN/SiOx/Cu/SiOx/TiN memristive devices exploit pancake‐like Cu nanoparticles embedded in a SiOx double layer to create a heterogeneous Schottky‐barrier landscape. Under bias, oxygen‐vacancy redistribution progressively lowers local barriers and recruits initially inactive Cu‐PC pathways into a parallel conduction ensemble, enabling

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.

POSS‐PEG‐NHS and GSH Cocrosslink DPAV to Prepare Anticalcification Bioprosthetic Scaffold With Enhanced Reendothelization, Anti‐inflammation, and Anti‐ROS

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
POSS‐PEG‐NHS and GSH cocrosslinked DPAV to prepare a multifunctional anticalcification valve substitute. This modification enhances mechanical properties, hemocompatibility, and re‐endothelialization while promoting anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage infiltration and reducing calcification.

Lung macrophage scavenger receptor SR-A6 (MARCO) is an adenovirus type-specific virus entry receptor.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
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,

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

A Modular Liver–Microbial Microfluidic Platform to Evaluate Therapeutic and Adverse Effects of Microbial Metabolites

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a modular microfluidic platform that connects liver cells with live microbes to mimic key aspects of the gut–liver interaction in steatosis. Using this system, both microbial metabolites and live bacteria significantly reduced fat accumulation in liver cells, but live microbes triggered inflammation and broader metabolic changes ...

Modulation of macrophage scavenger receptor transport by protein phosphorylation

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The identification of three highly conserved phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain of each of the monomeric subunits of the macrophage scavenger receptor suggests that protein phosphorylation may regulate this receptor pathway.

Oxidation by neutrophils-derived HOCl increases immunogenicity of proteins by converting them into ligands of several endocytic receptors involved in antigen uptake by dendritic cells and macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The initiation of adaptive immune responses to protein antigens has to be preceded by their uptake by antigen presenting cells and intracellular proteolytic processing.
