Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner (2017)
Journal Article
Schroeder, H., McCarthy, D., Szestak, T., Cook, D. A., Taylor, M., Craig, A. G., …Lawrence, R. A. (2017). Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 11(5), e0005592. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0005592

Brugia malayi causes the human tropical disease, lymphatic filariasis. Microfilariae (Mf) of this nematode live in the bloodstream and are ingested by a feeding mosquito vector. Interestingly, in a remarkable co-evolutionary adaptation, Mf appearance... Read More about Brugia malayi microfilariae adhere to human vascular endothelial cells in a C3-dependent manner.

Natriuretic peptide activation of extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway by particulate guanylyl cyclases in GH3 somatolactotropes (2017)
Journal Article
Jonas, K. C., Melrose, T., Thompson, I. R., Baxter, G. F., Lipscomb, V. J., Niessen, S. J. M., …Fowkes, R. C. (2017). Natriuretic peptide activation of extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway by particulate guanylyl cyclases in GH3 somatolactotropes. Cell and Tissue Research, 369(3), 567-578. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-017-2624-x

The natriuretic peptides, Atrial-, B-type and C-type natriuretric peptides (ANP, BNP, CNP), are regulators of many endocrine tissues and exert their effects predominantly through the activation of their specific guanylyl cyclase receptors (GC-A and G...

Leukocyte Adhesion Under Hemodynamic Flow Conditions (2017)
Journal Article
Lawson, C., Rose, M., & Wolf, S. (2017). Leukocyte Adhesion Under Hemodynamic Flow Conditions. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-6931-9_7

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) line the luminal side of all blood vessels and act as a selective barrier between blood and tissue. ECs are constantly exposed to biochemical and biomechanical stimuli from the blood and underlying tissue. Fluid shear... Read More about Leukocyte Adhesion Under Hemodynamic Flow Conditions.
