Frontline Science: The expression of integrin αDβ2 (CD11d/CD18) on neutrophils orchestrates the defense mechanism against endotoxemia and sepsis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Leukocyte Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/jlb.3hi0820-529rr
Abstract: Neutrophil‐macrophage interplay is a fine‐tuning mechanism that regulates the innate immune response during infection and inflammation. Cell surface receptors play an essential role in neutrophil and macrophage functions. The same receptor can provide different outcomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.seppur.2019.116082
Abstract: Abstract Surface segregation method based on the collaborative self-assembly principle was proposed to construct anti-fouling membranes with fouling-resistant and fouling-release mechanisms (dual-defense mechanism). Graphene oxides (GO) functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.04.14.488369
Abstract: Bacteria use diverse immunity mechanisms to defend themselves against their viral predators, bacteriophages. In turn, phages can acquire counter-defense systems, but it remains unclear how such mechanisms arise and what factors constrain viral evolution. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03328
Abstract: The intestinal microbiota is a complex microbial community, with diverse and stable populations hosted by the gastrointestinal tract since birth. This ecosystem holds multiple anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, and immune modulating roles decisive for intestinal homeostasis. Among… read more here.
