Procoagulant platelets: are they necrotic?

Apoptosis and necrosis represent distinct cell death processes that regulate mammalian development, physiology and disease. Apoptosis characteristically leads to the silent destruction and removal of cells in the absence of an inflammatory response. In contrast, necrotic cell death can induce physiologic inflammatory responses linked to tissue defense and repair. Although anucleate, platelets u...

Necrotic Inflammatory Reaction to Muramyl

N-Acetylmuramyi-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (muramyl dipeptide, MDP) 1 was shown (1) to be the minimal and essential s t ructure requi red for adjuvant activity o f bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans. Fur ther , MDP has been found to possess various biological activities, o ther than adjuvant activity, that are exer ted by bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans. Since MDP is such a potent immunomodula ...

Necrotic cell death and neurodegeneration

Necrosis, one of the two main types of cell death, contributes critically in many devastating pathological conditions in human, including stroke, ischemia, trauma and neurodegenerative diseases. However, unlike apoptosis, the molecular mechanisms underlying necrotic cell death and neurodegeneration are poorly understood. Caenorhabditis elegans offers a powerful platform for a thorough and syste...

Beet necrotic yellow vein furovirus

Name: Beet necrotic yellow vein furovirus Taxonomic position: Viruses: Furovirus Common names: BNYVV (acronym) Rhizomania (English) Rhizomanie (French) Rizomanía (Spanish) Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature: Beet soil-borne furovirus (BSBV) has been shown to have the same host range and vector as BNYVV, and to cause similar symptoms (Henry et al., 1986; Lesemann et al., 1989). BSBV was classifi...
