Initial elimination of invading Staphylococcus aureus from the body is mediated by
professional phagocytes. The neutrophil is the major phagocyte of the innate immunity and …

The successful treatment of infectious diseases requires interdisciplinary studies of all
aspects of infection processes. The overarching combination of experimental research and …

Abstract Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is activated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to
mount innate immune responses. The TLR4-induced release of pro-and anti-inflammatory …

Phagocytosis is a biological process that plays a key role in host defense and tissue
homeostasis. Efficient approaches for realtime imaging of phagocytosis are highly desired …

Unconjugated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an important component of effective
combination therapies for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Antibody-dependent …

Aims To identify the presence and geographical distribution of mast cell (MC) subtypes: MC
T (tryptase positive–chymase negative) and MC TC (tryptase positive–chymase positive) in …

Membrane remodeling in the early stages of phagocytosis enables the engulfment of
particles or pathogens and receptor signaling to activate innate immune responses …

The phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens and dead cells by macrophages is important
for innate immunity and tissue maintenance. Multiple Rab family GTPases engage effector …

We report a microglial phagocytosis/cell health high‐content assay that has been used to
test small molecule chemical probes and support our drug discovery projects targeting …

The innate immune response is an important host primary defense system against
pathogens. γ-Oryzanol is one of the nutritionally important phytoceutical components in rice …
