Local force induced conical protrusions of phagocytic cells.
Magnetic tweezers were used to study the passive and active response of macrophages to local centripetal nanonewton forces on beta1 integrins. Superparamagnetic beads coated with the beta1-integrin-binding protein invasin were attached to J774 murine macrophages to mimic phagocytosis of bacterial pathogens. Forces exceeding approximately 0.5 nN induce the active formation of trumpet-like protru...
متن کاملLocal Conical Dimensions for Measures
for μ-almost all points x ∈ R? Here the right-hand sides of (1.1) and (1.2) are denoted by dimloc(μ, x) and dimloc(μ, x), and they are the upper and lower local dimensions of the measure μ at x ∈ R, respectively. We prove that if C is a cone with opening angle at least π, then (1.1) and (1.2) hold for all measures μ and for μ-almost all x ∈ R. Moreover, (1.2) holds also for cones with small ope...
متن کاملMelanocortin peptides inhibit urate crystal-induced activation of phagocytic cells
INTRODUCTION The melanocortin peptides have marked anti-inflammatory potential, primarily through inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production and action on phagocytic cell functions. Gout is an acute form of arthritis caused by the deposition of urate crystals, in which phagocytic cells and cytokines play a major pathogenic role. We examined whether alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a...
متن کاملFibroblasts and Phagocytic Cells in Phenytoin-induced Connective Tissue Proliferation
Objective: To evaluate the relationship of phenytoin-induced gingival enlargement and inflammation to find out if there is any significant correlation between hyperplastic index and periodontal parameters, the number of fibroblasts and phagocytic cells. Background: The introduction of phenytoin as an anti-epileptic drug in 1938 marked the beginning of a new era in the treatment of grandmal epil...
متن کاملDiscrimination of Two Types of Phagocytic Cells in Differential Phagocytic Capacity of Mononuclear Cells
INTRODUCTION. By the use of the supravital technique, we think it is now possibIe to discriminate two distinct types of markedly phagocytic cells in the connective tissues, namely, clasmatocytes, which we shall also designate as wander&g endothdial phagocytes, and monocytes. The term monocyte was used by Naegeli to cover the transitional and large mononuclear forms of the bIood, in the sense of...
