Glymphatic Pathway: A Paravascular Pathway for Interstitial Solute Clearance
The brain is unique among virtually all somatic organs in its lack of a conventional lymphatic vasculature. In the periphery, the lymphatic circulation facilitates the clearance of extracellular proteins and excess fluid from the interstitium, a role critical to tissue homeostasis and function. Yet within the brain, despite its complex architecture and high metabolic activity and neural cells’ ...
متن کاملThe final common pathway.
Cardiogenic shock remains the final common pathway to death in a substantial number of patients with acute myocardial infarction. We have learned a great deal about this syndrome which at its bottom line is characterized by a state of severe tissue hypoperfusion. Much of what we know has come from single centre observational experiences, from multicentre registries, from subsets of patients in ...
متن کاملSelective clearance of macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques by autophagy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate whether stent-based delivery of an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) can selectively clear macrophages in rabbit atherosclerotic plaques. BACKGROUND Current pharmacologic approaches to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques have only partially reduced the incidence of acute coronary syndromes and sudden death. Macrophages play...
متن کاملComplement-dependent Clearance of Apoptotic Cells by Human Macrophages
Apoptotic cells are rapidly engulfed by phagocytes, but the receptors and ligands responsible for this phenomenon are incompletely characterized. Previously described receptors on blood- derived macrophages have been characterized in the absence of serum and show a relatively low uptake of apoptotic cells. Addition of serum to the phagocytosis assays increased the uptake of apoptotic cells by m...
متن کاملBMP Pathway Regulation of and by Macrophages
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of progressively increasing pulmonary vascular resistance, associated with mutations of the type 2 receptor for the BMP pathway, BMPR2. The canonical signaling pathway for BMPR2 is through the SMAD family of transcription factors. BMPR2 is expressed in every cell type, but the impact of BMPR2 mutations affecting SMAD signaling, such as Bmpr2del...
