Modulation of Oxidized Low-density Lipoprotein-Affected Macrophage Efferocytosis by Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter in a Murine Model
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found that MCU inhibition modulated intracytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, improved impaired Mø efferocytosis, and reduced ROS generation. Macrophage efferocytosis removed apoptotic cells and prevented the release of inflammatory factor and foam cell formation, and this can be a potential new therapeutic target for alleviating atherosclerosis.PMID:37689315 | DOI:10.1016/j.imlet.2023.09.003 (Source: Immunology Letters)

USE OF RECOMBINANT S1 PROTEIN WITH hFc FOR ANALYSIS OF SARS-COV-2 ADSORPTION AND EVALUATION OF DRUGS THAT INHIBIT ENTRY INTO VERO E6 CELLS
Immunol Lett. 2023 Sep 6:S0165-2478(23)00145-1. doi: 10.1016/j.imlet.2023.09.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe significant number of deaths and cases of infection by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 requires an urgent demand for effective and available drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.However, the need for biosafety level 3 (NB-3) laboratories for experiments with the virus has made it very difficult for such research to meet this demand. It is known that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), located on the surface of host cells, is the viral receptor for the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. This protein is a tetra...

Since then, cellular therapy made great advances from transfusions with unmodified cells to today's commercially available chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells requiring complex manufacturing. Modern cellular therapy products can be improved using basic knowledge of cell biology and molecular genetics.

Enhanced immunoprotection against Acinetobacter baumannii infection: Synergistic effects of Bap and BauA in a murine model
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of Bap and BauA has the potential to target a broader range of A. baumannii strains, including those expressing either Bap or BauA, thereby increasing its efficacy against a diverse array of strains.PMID:37652189 | DOI:10.1016/j.imlet.2023.08.004 (Source: Immunology Letters)
