The researchers have now come a step closer to mapping this island by discovering the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus known so far, which marks the position of the island's shoreline in nuclei ...

A new milestone in nuclear physics has been achieved with the direct observation of three different deformations in the atomic nucleus of lead-190 (190 Pb). These deformations, associated with ...

Monocytopenia describes a low number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell. Monocytes are made in the bone marrow and account for 2% to 6% of white blood cells at any given time. They work ...

Monocytes and macrophages are myeloid cells that have important innate immune functions. Macrophages reside in tissues and respond to infection by producing inflammatory mediators and engulfing ...

Mice lacking CD38 are very susceptible to acute bacterial infections, implicating CD38 in innate immune responses. The effects of CD38 inhibition on NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human primary ...

Food and water were provided ad libitum. Human peripheral blood monocytes were collected under a protocol approved by the Human Research Committee of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and were cultured ...

Through its cognate receptor CCR2, the chemokine monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 does not only mediate recruitment ... MCPIP functions as a transcriptional activator localized in the nucleus, ...
