Human neutrophils constitutively undergo apoptosis and this process is critical for the resolution of inflammation. Whilst neutrophil apoptosis can be modulated by a wide variety of agents including GM-CSF, LPS and TNF-alpha, the molecular mechanisms underlying neutrophil death and survival remain largely undefined. R…

Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular bacterium that causes an acute form of pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease. After infection of human macrophages, the Legionella-containing phagosome (LCP) avoids fusion with the lysosome allowing intracellular replication of the bacterium. In macrophages derived from most…

Senescent cells secrete senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) proteins to carry out several functions, such as sensitizing surrounding cells to senesce; immunomodulation; impairing or fostering cancer growth; and promoting tissue development. Identifying secreted factors that achieve such tasks is a challen…

BACKGROUND: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a functional myeloid cell subset that includes myeloid cells with immune suppressive properties. The presence of MDSC has been reported in the peripheral blood of patients with several malignant and non-malignant diseases. So far, direct comparison of MDSC across…

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) has recently emerged as an important mediator of cellular and molecular events which impacts the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia. Although tempting to ask whether NO is "good or bad" for cerebral ischemia, the question underestimates the complexities of NO chemistry and physiology as well a…

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) (OMIM #260400) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (IBMFS) that is primarily characterized by neutropenia and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Seventy-five to ninety percent of patients have compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond…
