Journal ArticleDOI
CX3CL1 up-regulation is associated with recruitment of CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocytes and T lymphocytes in the lungs during cigarette smoke-induced emphysema.

TL;DR: It is suggested that one function of the CX3CR1-CX3CL1 pathway is to recruit and sustain divergent immune cell populations implicated in the pathogenesis of cigarette smoke-induced emphysema.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confocal microscopy: comparisons, applications, and problems
TL;DR: The basic technology inherent to all confocal microscopes, the applications in which the confocal is an essential tool, with particular attention to the specialized use of confocal systems with in vivo preparations, are discussed and a limited comparison of the applications of specific subtypes of conf focal microscopes is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
PARP1 changes from three-dimensional DNA damage searching to one-dimensional diffusion after auto-PARylation or in the presence of APE1.
Lili Liu,Muwen Kong,Natalie R. Gassman,Bret D. Freudenthal,Rajendra Prasad,Stephanie Zhen,Simon C. Watkins,Samuel H. Wilson,Bennett Van Houten +8 more
TL;DR: Using atomic force microscopy and single molecule fluorescence microscopy, it is demonstrated that PARP inhibitor olaparib did not significantly alter the rate of PARP1 dissociation from DNA, but instead resulted in more motility of DNA-boundPARP1 molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Low Altitude Flight through the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, existing data from meteorologists and wind engineers are reviewed and measurements dedicated to understanding the spatial and temporal velocity fields that MAVs experience are briefly described Data from a wide variety of terrains are analysed, with the majority of data obtained in relatively well mixed turbulent flow and for conditions of nominally neutral stability Spectra for data well removed from local effects exhibited the expected 5/3rds Kolmogorov law.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a synovial fibroblast-specific protein transduction domain for delivery of apoptotic agents to hyperplastic synovium.
Zhibao Mi,Xiaoli Lu,Jeffrey C. Mai,Bobby Ng,Gui Qiang Wang,Eric R. Lechman,Simon C. Watkins,Hannah Rabinowich,Paul D. Robbins +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that proapoptotic peptides and, in particular, DP2 can be clinically useful for treatment of synovial hyperplasia, as well as inflammation.
