Recent advances in defining the molecular signaling pathways that regulate the
phagocytosis of apoptotic cells have improved our understanding of this complex and …

Since the pioneering work of Elie Metchnikoff and the discovery of cellular immunity, the
phagocytic clearance of cellular debris has been considered an integral component of …

The phagocytic clearance of dying cells in a tissue is a highly orchestrated series of
intercellular events coordinated by a complex signaling network. Recent data from genetic …

Phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells occurs efficiently in vivo such that even in tissues with
significant apoptosis, very few apoptotic cells are detectable. This is thought to be due to the …

The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore central auditory function
may be compromised by the intense bursts of stray acoustic noise produced by the scanner …

Apoptotic cells release 'find-me'signals at the earliest stages of death to recruit phagocytes.
The nucleotides ATP and UTP represent one class of find-me signals, but their mechanism …

Engulfment and subsequent degradation of apoptotic cells is an essential step that occurs
throughout life in all multicellular organisms,,. ELMO/Dock180/Rac proteins are a conserved …

Rationale: Macrophages change their phenotype and biological functions depending on the
microenvironment. In atherosclerosis, oxidative tissue damage accompanies chronic …

ContextAlthough more than a dozen states have ratified laws that require booster seats for
children older than 4 years, most states continue to have child restraint laws that only cover …

Objective To provide an estimate of benefit, if any, of child restraint systems over seat belts
alone for children aged from 2 through 6 years. Design Cohort study. Setting A sample of …
