Objective To investigate the effects of β2 glycoprotein I/anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibody complex (β2GPI/aβ2GPI) on lipid phagocytosis and class B scavenger receptor CD36 expression of macrophages, and the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) during t...
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of polysaccharides extracted from Bupleurum chinense DC (BCPs) on macrophage functions. In the in vivo experiment, 1 mL of 5% sodium thioglycollate was injected into the abdomen of the mice on Day 0 ...
Microplastics are well-documented pollutants in the marine environment that result from production or fragmentation of larger plastic items. The knowledge about the direct effects of microplastics on immunity, including fish, is still very limited. W...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the immunoreaction against protoscolex infection by the recombinant ferritin of echinococcus granulosus (rEg.ferritin) immunized mice.
The structural design parameters of a medical microrobot, such as the morphology and surface chemistry, should aim to minimize any physical interactions with the cells of the immune system. However, the same surface-borne design parameters are also c...
Swimming biohybrid microsized robots (e.g., bacteria- or sperm-driven microrobots) with self-propelling and navigating capabilities have become an exciting field of research, thanks to their controllable locomotion in hard-to-reach areas of the body ...
Macrophages play an important role in the adaptive immune system. Their ability to neutralize cellular targets through Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis has relied upon immunotherapy that has become of particular interest for the treatment of cancer ...
