Rationale Acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is one of the most common reasons for
hospitalization and intensive care unit admission among children. Season related decreases in …

Mechanical forces alter many cell functions in a variety of cell types. It has been recognized
that stimulation of cells in culture may be more representative of some physiologic conditions…

Background A number of small studies have suggested a relationship between vitamin D
status and severe acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI), including RSV—bronchiolitis. …

Tissue regeneration alternatives for peripheral vascular disease are actively being investigated;
however, few studies in this area have probed the role of the wound healing monocyte-…

A predominant cell type associated with explanted failed devices is the monocyte-derived
macrophage (MDM). However, there is still very little known about the specific cellular enzyme …

The prominent cell type found on implanted medical devices during the chronic inflammatory
response is the monocyte‐derived macrophage (MDM). Using an activated in vitro cell …

In plants, differentiation of subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dedicated to
protein export, the ER export sites (ERES), is influenced by the type of export-competent …

Monocytes are recruited to the material surface of an implanted biomedical device recognizing
it as a foreign body. Differentiation into macrophages subsequently occurs followed by …

The plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains functionally distinct subdomains at which
cargo molecules are packed into transport carriers. To study these ER export sites (ERES), we …

Significant advances have been made in recent years that have increased our understanding
of the trafficking to and from membranes that are functionally linked to the Golgi apparatus …
