Abrogation of species specificity for activation of tumoricidal properties in macrophages by recombinant mouse or human interferon-gamma encapsulated in liposomes.

Journal of Immunology, 1985
Highly purified human blood monocytes, isolated by continuous Percoll density gradients under endotoxin-free conditions, and mouse peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) were activated in vitro by the combination of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and recombinant ...

Species-specific temperature sensitivity of TRPA1 [PDF]

Temperature, 2015
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal ion channel sensitive to temperature and chemical stimuli. The importance of temperature and aversive chemical detection for survival has driven the evolutionary diversity of TRPA1 sensitivity.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

How drugs get into cells: tested and testable predictions to help discriminate between transporter-mediated uptake and lipoidal bilayer diffusion

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
One approach to experimental science involves creating hypotheses, then testing them by varying one or more independent variables and assessing the effects of this variation on the processes of interest.

Chemical Competition between Microscopic Stages of Macrocystis pyrifera and Five Native Kelp Species: Does Giant Kelp Always Lose? [PDF]

, 2018
The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera is often considered competitively dominant to other kelp species due to its high productivity. However, on the microscopic level, previous studies found that Macrocystis can be inferior to other kelp species through ...

Goodbye flat lymphoma biology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional (3D) biological systems have become key tools in lymphoma research, offering reliable in vitro and ex vivo platforms to explore pathogenesis and support precision medicine. This review highlights current 3D non‐Hodgkin lymphoma models, detailing their features, advantages, and limitations, and provides a broad perspective on future ...

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]

, 2014
Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...

Software for the Analysis of Species-Specific Vocalizations [PDF]

Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic), 2004
Vocalization calls are behaviorally relevant complex sounds that typically contain several harmonics and show frequency and amplitude modulation. In this paper, an introduction to a software tool for the analysis of species-specific vocalizations is presented.
