Eosinophil Lipid Bodies: Specific, Inducible Intracellular Sites for Enhanced Eicosanoid Formation

TL;DR: The specific intracellular sites at which enzymes act to generate arachidonate-derived eicosanoid mediators of inflammation are uncertain this paper, however, it is known that platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced increases in lipid body numbers correlated with enhanced production of both lipoxygenase-and cyclooxygenases-derived EICosanoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

WEAVE Trial: Final Results in 152 On-Label Patients.

TL;DR: With experienced interventionalists, and proper patient selection following the on-label usage guidelines, the use of the Wingspan stent for intracranial atherosclerotic disease demonstrated a low periprocedural complication rate and excellent safety profile.
Journal Article

Co-compartmentalization of MAP kinases and cytosolic phospholipase A2 at cytoplasmic arachidonate-rich lipid bodies.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that cPLA2 and its activating protein kinase, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, co-localize at lipid bodies, suggesting that lipid bodies may be structurally distinct intracellular sites active in extracellular ligand-induced arachidonate release and eicosanoid formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase localizes to cytoplasmic lipid bodies in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and other myeloid-derived cells.

TL;DR: The localization of PI3K to a distinct intracellular site, cytoplasmic lipid bodies, in leukocytes is reported to indicate a novel site forPI3K compartmentalization and suggest that PI3k-mediated signaling is active within cytopLasmic cholesterol bodies in leucocytes.
