The Leishmania life cycle alternates between promastigotes, found in the sandfly, and amastigotes, found in mammals. When an infected sandfly bites a host, promastigotes are engulfed by phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages)...
This study aimed to explore the key efferocytosis-related genes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and their regulatory mechanisms. Public DR-related gene expression datasets, GSE160306 (training) and GSE60436 (validation), were downloaded. Differentially ...
Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is characterized by an abnormal inflammatory response and increased mortality. The role of efferocytosis in SCM is not well understood. We used integrated multi-omics analysis to explore the clinical and genetic roles of e...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a serious long-term threat because of elevated mortality and disability risks. Research on its biomarkers is still, however, very limited. In this paper, we have effectively identified biomarkers linked wi...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is nowadays a global health concern as bacterial pathogens are increasingly developing resistance to antibiotics. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent a powerful tool for addressing AMR thanks to their high specificit...

BACKGROUND: Phagocytosis plays an important role in the fundamental process of immunity and maintains systemic tissue homeostasis. Phagocytosis function is assessed in radiotherapy to signify the prognosis of patient. Therefore, we designed a study t...
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 ...

Among many pneumococcal antigens, choline-binding proteins (CPBs) display a high immunogenicity in animal models. This study aims to determine the immunogenicity of CbpM, CbpG and CbpL proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae in a mice model. The genes w...
Acacia catechu L., (Fabaceae) named as "catechu" is a plant, the decoction of heartwood of which is daily consumed as thirst quencher by a good percentage of the population in South India. The plant is mainly distributed in India and other Asian coun...
