Cellular Trafficking and Activation within Lymph Nodes: Contributions to Immunity and Pathogenic or Therapeutic Implications
(2010)Lymph nodes are organs of efficiency. Once activated, they essentially function to optimize and accelerate the production of the adaptive immune response, which has the potential to determine survival of the host during ... -
Contributions of mast cells and vasoactive products, leukotrienes and chymase, to dengue virus-induced vascular leakage.
(Elife, 2013-04-30)Dengue Virus (DENV), a flavivirus spread by mosquito vectors, can cause vascular leakage and hemorrhaging. However, the processes that underlie increased vascular permeability and pathological plasma leakage during viral ... -
Host Responses to Infection of the Upper and Lower Urinary Tract
(2013)Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common type of infection identified in the clinical setting and disproportionately afflict women. UTIs most frequently manifest in the form of infection of the lower urinary ... -
Interactions of Mast Cells with the Lymphatic System: Delivery of Peripheral Signals to Lymph Nodes by Mast Cell-Derived Particles
(2009)Mast cells, best known for their pathologic role in allergy, have recently been shown to have key roles in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. These cells are located throughout the body just beneath barriers separating ... -
Mast cell activation and arterial hypotension during proximal aortic repair requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest.
(J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2017-01)OBJECTIVE: Aortic surgeries requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest evoke systemic inflammatory responses that often manifest as vasoplegia and hypotension. Because mast cells can rapidly release vasoactive and proinflammatory ...
