Monocytes can give rise to either antigen presenting dendritic cells (DCs) or scavenging macrophages. This differentiation is initiated when monocytes cross the endothelium. But the regulation of ...

Highly reactive chemicals include those that have the potential to vigorously polymerize, undergo a vigorous condensation or oxidation-reduction reaction, or become self-reactive due to shock, ...

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is ...

Those most notably reactive were Ab11 ... introduced each antibody individually to spike-monocyte interactions to determine the role of antibodies as mediators of immune interactions.

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it ...

The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction. Displacement reactions can be used to investigate ...

A study utilizing alveolar macrophage-like (AML) cells revealed that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is critical for fighting ...

Under these conditions the main protein of HDL, apolipoprotein A-I, can be modified by reactive oxygen species ... apoB = apolipoprotein B. Monocytes are drawn into the artery wall by proteins ...

C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have not been routinely used to diagnose thyroid disease, although many thyroid conditions involve inflammation. This study was intended to determine whether CRP ...
