Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet TLR4 activates neutrophil extracellular traps to ensnare bacteria in septic blood

TL;DR: It is proposed that platelet TLR4 is a threshold switch for this new bacterial trapping mechanism in severe sepsis, where NETs have the greatest capacity for bacterial trapping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient Overexpression of TGF-β1 Induces Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition in the Rodent Peritoneum

TL;DR: Findings suggest that EMT occurs in vivo after TGF-beta1 overexpression in the peritoneum and further supports the central role of T GF- beta1 in peritoneal fibrosis and provides an important model to study the sequence of events involved in TGF -beta1-induced EMT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methods of sputum processing for cell counts, immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridisation

TL;DR: Two methods for processing the expectorate have evolved and there is conflicting data as to whether or not differential cell counts (DCCs) differ between the two methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulating leukocyte recruitment in inflammation

TL;DR: The leukocyte recruitment cascade is summarized, highlighting the molecular mechanisms that underlie each of the major steps and major emphasis is placed on the selectins and integrins and their role in rolling and adhesion.
