Surface Proteoglycans as Mediators in Bacterial Pathogens Infections
Infectious diseases remain an important global health problem. The interaction of a wide range of pathogen bacteria with host cells from many different tissues is frequently mediated by proteoglycans. These compounds are ubiquitous complex molecules which are not only involved in adherence and colonization, but can also participate in other steps of pathogenesis. To overcome the problem of micr...
متن کاملLung tissue mechanics as an emergent phenomenon.
The mechanical properties of lung parenchymal tissue are both elastic and dissipative, as well as being highly nonlinear. These properties cannot be fully understood, however, in terms of the individual constituents of the tissue. Rather, the mechanical behavior of lung tissue emerges as a macroscopic phenomenon from the interactions of its microscopic components in a way that is neither intuit...
متن کاملChanges in proteoglycans and lung tissue mechanics during excessive mechanical ventilation in rats.
Excessive mechanical ventilation results in changes in lung tissue mechanics. We hypothesized that changes in tissue properties might be related to changes in the extracellular matrix component proteoglycans (PGs). The effect of different ventilation regimens on lung tissue mechanics and PGs was examined in an in vivo rat model. Animals were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and ventilated at a ti...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species as mediators of tissue protection and injury.
Extensive research efforts during the last three decades resulted in a large body of experimental evidence that suggests an important role of the disbalance between generation and elimination of the oxygen and xenobiotic derived free radicals in physiological and pathological processes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated in many metabolic pathways, and are entering the organisms from e...
متن کاملTissue mechanics.
The human body, from an engineering point of view, is a load-transmitting mechanism. It is subjected to self-originated and/or environmentally-imposed actions (Abrahams 1965, Paul 1967). These in turn manifest themselves in actions on tissue, and the tissue’s capability to withstand and transmit the corresponding loads through deforming appropriately can be characterized in health and disease. ...
