Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention in various fields, such as
cosmetics, the food industry, material design, and nanomedicine. In particular, the fast …

In the golden age of pharmaceutical nanocarriers, we are witnessing a maturation stage of
the original concepts and ideas. There is no doubt that nanoformulations are extremely …

Multiple modes of cell death have been identified, each with a unique function and each
induced in a setting-dependent manner. As billions of cells die during mammalian …

CD38 is a molecule that can act as an enzyme, with NAD-depleting and intracellular
signaling activity, or as a receptor with adhesive functions. CD38 can be found expressed …

Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in blood. From the circulation, they are quickly
mobilized to sites of inflammation and/or infection. At the affected tissues, neutrophils display …

Efficient inflammation resolution is important not only for the termination of the inflammatory
response but also for the restoration of tissue integrity. An integral process to resolution of …

The host defence of insects includes a combination of cellular and humoral responses. The
cellular arm of the insect innate immune system includes mechanisms that are directly …

Phagocytosis is a fundamental process of cells to capture and ingest foreign particles. Small
unicellular organisms such as free-living amoeba use this process to acquire food. In …

Humans are exposed to nanoscopical nanobiovectors (eg coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) as
well as abiotic metal/carbon-based nanomaterials that enter cells serendipitously or …

In neutrophils, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) generated via the
pentose phosphate pathway fuels NADPH oxidase NOX2 to produce reactive oxygen …
