How do red blood cells know when to die ?
Human red blood cells (RBCs) are normally phagocytized by macrophages of splenic and hepatic sinusoids at 120 days of age. The destruction of RBCs is ultimately controlled by antagonist effects of phosphatidylserine (PS) and CD47 on the phagocytic activity of macrophages. In this work, we introduce a conceptual model that explains RBC lifespan as a consequence of the dynamics of these molecules...

متن کاملMolecular signaling how do axons die?
Axons depend critically on axonal transport both for supplying materials and for communicating with cell bodies. This chapter looks at each activity, asking what aspects are essential for axon survival. Axonal transport declines in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis, and in normal ageing, but whether all cargoes are eq...
متن کاملHuman thymic epithelial cells produce interleukin-3.
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic growth factor suggested to be produced by activated T lymphocytes. Meanwhile, supernatants from human thymic stroma could promote the proliferation of myeloid stem cells. Thus, we investigated whether IL-3 accounts for this activity. Therefore, human thymic epithelial cells (TEC), fibroblasts, and adherent cells were isolated, and their culture supernatan...
متن کاملTranscriptome sequencing of neonatal thymic epithelial cells
In order to gain novel insights into thymus biology, we analysed the whole transcriptome of cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells (cTECs and mTECs) and of skin epithelial cells (ECs). Consistent with their ability to express ectopic genes, mTECs expressed more genes than other cell populations. Out of a total of 15,069 genes expressed in TECs, 25% were differentially expressed by at le...
