Inflammatory lymphangiogenesis plays a crucial role in the development of inflammation and
transplant rejection. The mechanisms of inflammatory lymphangiogenesis during bacterial …

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were previously found to express Toll-like receptors
(TLRs), suggesting that bacterial/viral products may influence blood cell formation. We now …

The chemokine, CXCL10, chemotactic for NK cells, activated T cells, and dendritic cells is
highly expressed during viral infections, including HSV-1. The importance of this chemokine to …

Herpes simplex virus-type 1 is among the most prevalent and successful humans pathogens.
Although infection is largely uncomplicated in the immunocompetent human host, HSV-1 …

Oxygen sensing is crucial for adaptation to variable habitats and physiological conditions.
Low oxygen tension, or hypoxia, is a common feature of solid tumors, and hypoxic tumors are …

Neutrophilic granule protein (NGP) was previously reported as a granular protein of neutrophils
in mouse, but the function has not been known clearly. We found the presence of the …

The chemokine CXCL10 is crucial for the control of viral replication through the regulation of
mobilization of antigen-specific T cells to sites of infection. CXCL10 is highly expressed both …

Vertebrates are endowed with two separate and complimentary vascular systems. The blood
vasculature serves to deliver nutrients and oxygen, while the lymphatic network acts to …

Purpose:: To determine the mechanism (s) by which HSV-1 infection drives VEGF-A up-regulation.
Methods:: Male C57BL/6 (wild type, WT), MyD88 deficient (MyD88-/-), and TRIF …

The chemical compatibility of wave length shifting fibers with several liquid scintillators has
been investigated. Based on systematic characterization of the behavior of the BC-517 family, …
