How do mobile cell types like leukocytes or metastatic cancer cells reach their place of action during immune surveillance or cancer dissemination, respectively? Researchers have now shown that ...

The shuttling of leukocytes between the blood stream and interstitial tissues involves different locomotion strategies that are governed by locally presented soluble and cell-bound signals. There are ...

With an organ transplant, hematopoietic donor cells are transferred to the recipient. To study the relevance of the resulting microchimerism for allograft acceptance, we analyzed a rat model of ...

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 27, No. 1 (Jul., 1920), pp. 86-100 (15 pages) Streptococci, like certain other bacteria, produce a toxic substance apparently a toxin that destroys leukocytes.

The movement of leukocytes from the circulatory system to the site of inflammation and subsequent attachment forms an integral part of the innate immune system. The three steps of leukocyte rolling, ...

Background: When urine infections are missed in febrile young infants with normal urinalysis, clinicians may worry about the risk – hitherto unverified – of concomitant invasion of blood and ...

Space travel alters gene expression in leukocytes and could explain the weakened immune system that astronauts experience. Leaving the Earth’s atmosphere puts the human body under enormous ...

Scientists led by Prof. LIU Jing from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have created a leukocyte-like liquid metallic entity that vividly ...
