The Molecular Mechanism of P2Y 1 Receptor Activation

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Human purinergic Gprotein-coupled receptor P2Y(1) (P2Y(1)R) is activated by adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) to induce platelet activation and thereby serves as an important antithrombotic drug target. Crystal structures of P2Y(1)R revealed that one ligand ( ...

Increased Myeloid Cell Production and Lung Bacterial Clearance in Mice Exposed to Cigarette Smoke

Alessandra Piersigilli

Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although most patients with COPD are smokers, the effects of cigarette smoke exposure on clearance of lung bacterial pathogens and on immune and ...

Improving Osteoblast Response In Vitro by a Nanostructured Thin Film with Titanium Carbide and Titanium Oxides Clustered around Graphitic Carbon

Giovanni Longo

Introduction Recently, we introduced a new deposition method, based on Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology, to coat titanium implants with a thin but hard nanostructured layer composed of titanium carbide and titanium oxides, clustered around graphitic ...

Adamts18 deletion results in distinct developmental defects and provides a model for congenital disorders of lens, lung, and female reproductive tract development

Cathrin Brisken, Alessandra Piersigilli, Marian Caikovski, Dalya Ataca, Yakir Guri

The ADAMTS family comprises 19 secreted metalloproteinases that cleave extracellular matrix components and have diverse functions in numerous disease and physiological contexts. A number of them remain 'orphan' proteases, among them ADAMTS18, which has bee ...

Textured BaTiO3 by templated grain growth and electrophoretic deposition

Dragan Damjanovic

[001]-Oriented barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth using [001]-oriented plate-like template BaTiO3 particles, synthesized via the molten salt method. Platelets synthesized in a 2-step or 3-step molten salt were used in ...

The In-Vivo Use of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles to Detect Inflammation Elicits a Cytokine Response but Does Not Aggravate Experimental Arthritis

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

Background Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPION) are used in diagnostic imaging of a variety of different diseases. For such in-vivo application, an additional coating with a polymer, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), is needed to stabilize ...

The TLR4 Agonist Fibronectin Extra Domain A is Cryptic, Exposed by Elastase-2; use in a fibrin matrix cancer vaccine

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Alexandre de Titta, Laura Jeanbart, Ziad Julier

Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein including numerous fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats with different functions. The alternatively spliced FN variant containing the extra domain A (FNIII EDA), located between FNIII 11 and FNIII 1 ...

Steady-State Antigen Scavenging, Cross-Presentation, and CD8(+) T Cell Priming: A New Role for Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Efthymia Vokali

Until recently, the known roles of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in immune modulation were limited to directing immune cell trafficking and passively transporting peripheral Ags to lymph nodes. Recent studies demonstrated that LECs can directly suppre ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

Bioluminescent and micro-computed tomography imaging of bone repair induced by fibrin-binding growth factors

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

In this work we have evaluated the capacity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibrin-binding platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to support cell growth and induce bone regeneration using two different imaging technologies to improve the u ...
