چکیده
How do neutrophils kill pathogens? A 1967 paper by Seymour Klebanoff provided a neat answer. But far from being resolved, the question still provokes vehement arguments.

Robert P. George Lecture Series: Embryo Ethics: Justice and Nascent Human Life
If we were to contemplate killing mentally retarded infants to obtain transplantable organs, no one would characterize the controversy that would erupt as a debate “about organ transplantation.” The dispute would properly be characterized as a debate about the ethics of killing retarded children to harvest their vital organs. The issue could not be resolved by considering how many gravely ill n...
متن کاملKilling, letting die and euthanasia.
Medical ethicists debate whether or not the moral assessment of cases of euthanasia should depend on whether the patient is 'killed' or 'allowed to die'. The usual presupposition is that a clear distinction between killing and letting die can be drawn so that this substantive question is not begged. I contend that the categorisation of cases of instances of killing rather than as instances of l...

This controversy over wording expresses a profound disagreement over the legal status of the US drone program. Target killing suggests that the drone program may be...
متن کاملDifferential activation of the death receptor pathway in human target cells induced by cytotoxic T lymphocytes showing different kinetics of killing.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) may use two effector mechanisms to kill their target cells: perforin (PFN) and granzyme B (GrB)-dependent granule-mediated cell death and death receptor-mediated cell death. Controversy exists whether, in addition to PFN/GrB-mediated apoptosis, death receptor-induced apoptosis contributes to the elimination of human tumor cells by CTL. D...
متن کاملINHIBITION OF14C UPTAKE BY CANDIDA ALBICANS: A NEW METHOD FOR INVESTIGATION OF INTRACELLULAR KILLING BY PHAGOCYTES
A radio assay employing 14C-uridine to measure the intracellular killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes is presented. The principle of this new method is that after killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes RNA synthesis stops and therefore uridine uptake is diminished whilst viable candida in cultures would take up uridine and as a result, high CPM counts can be obtained within 135 min...
