Phagocytosis: Sweet Repulsions via the Glycocalyx
نویسندگان
چکیده
New work shows that the glycocalyx meshwork on surface of macrophages prevents phagocytic receptors from binding their ligands by two means — electrostatic charge and steric hindrance. Components this barrier are present pathogenic malignant targets elude phagocytosis.

Sensing via Intestinal Sweet Taste Pathways
The detection of nutrients in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is of fundamental significance to the control of motility, glycemia and energy intake, and yet we barely know the most fundamental aspects of this process. This is in stark contrast to the mechanisms underlying the detection of lingual taste, which have been increasingly well characterized in recent years, and which provide an excell...
متن کاملThe endothelial glycocalyx
Once thought to be a structure of small size and uncertain significance, the endothelial glycocalyx is now known to be an important regulator of endothelial function. Studies of the systemic vasculature have demonstrated that the glycocalyx forms a substantial in vivo endothelial surface layer (ESL) critical to inflammation, barrier function, and mechanotransduction. The pulmonary ESL is signif...
متن کاملnew semigroup compactifications via the enveloping semigroups of associated flows
this thesis deals with the construction of some function algebras whose corresponding semigroup compactification are universal with respect to some properies of their enveloping semigroups. the special properties are of beigan a left zero, a left simple, a group, an inflation of the right zero, and an inflation of the rectangular band.
15 صفحه اولConsistent Anisotropic Repulsions for Simple Molecules
We extract atom-atom potentials from the effective spherical potentials that successfully model Hugoniot experiments on molecular fluids, e.g., O2 and N2. In the case of O2 the resulting potentials compare very well with the atomatom potentials used in studies of solid-state properties, while for N2 they are considerably softer at short distances. Ground state (T = 0K) and room temperature calc...
متن کاملModulation of Sweet Taste by Umami Compounds via Sweet Taste Receptor Subunit hT1R2
Although the five basic taste qualities-sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami-can be recognized by the respective gustatory system, interactions between these taste qualities are often experienced when food is consumed. Specifically, the umami taste has been investigated in terms of whether it enhances or reduces the other taste modalities. These studies, however, are based on individual percept...
