Macrophage skewing by Phd2 haplodeficiency prevents ischaemia by inducing arteriogenesis

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Francine Jordan

PHD2 serves as an oxygen sensor that rescues blood supply by regulating vessel formation and shape in case of oxygen shortage. However, it is unknown whether PHD2 can influence arteriogenesis. Here we studied the role of PHD2 in collateral artery growth by ...

Modulation of the host immune response by a transient intracellular stage of Mycobacterium ulcerans: the contribution of endogenous mycolactone toxin

Stewart Cole

Mycobacterium ulcerans (Mu), the aetiological agent of Buruli ulcer, is an extracellular pathogen producing the macrolide toxin mycolactone. Using a mouse model of intradermal infection, we found that Mu was initially captured by phagocytes and transported ...

The cytotoxic effect of titanium particles phagocytosed by osteoblasts

Dominique Pioletti

The cytotoxic effect of different concentrations of titanium particles on osteoblasts was studied in vitro. It was found that the viability of the osteoblasts was inversely proportional to the particle concentration. Phagocytosis of particles by the osteob ...
