Phagocytosis promotes programmed cell death and is controlled by Rac signaling pathway in C. elegans
… support a new view of cell death in which engulfing cells actively promote the death process rather than simply remove dead cells. We characterized an engulfment pathway and found that ced-2 encodes an adaptor protein similar to human CrkII that physically interacts with the previously …

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian State and the Alexandrian See: Indigenizing the Episcopacy and Forging National Identity, 1926--1991
… into two, the conflict and ethnic politics engulfing church leaders, the flight of bishops into exile as a result of such conflicts, and how the presence of a de jure patriarch and synod in the country and a de facto patriarch and synod in exile brought the unity of the national church into …

The Development Of Multivalent Nano-Self Peptides As Antagonists For Antibody-Dependent Macrophage Phagocytosis
… are immune cells that are capable of physically engulfing and clearing whole cells and particles. This process of phagocytosis is modulated by an important interaction between membrane protein CD47, present on all ‘self’ cells, and the macrophage immune-receptor SIRPα. Upon binding to CD47, SIRPα …

Structural relationship of leadership qualities with site workers issues for Saudi Arabia’s Construction Industry
… to accomplish the aim including: identify issues engulfing site workers and also leadership qualities in Saudi Arabia’s construction industry, determine hierarchy/ranks of workers issues and leadership qualities,establish structural relationship of leadership qualities and workers’ issues, and …

The neuroimmune response to cryptococcal infection
… cryptococcal infection and that even after engulfing fungal cells, microglial cells were not classically activated. Therefore, we concluded that C. neoformans recognition by resident immune cells, on its own, may not be responsible for the debilitating inflammatory response observed during …

Components Required for the Death and Degradation of the Linker Cell in C. Elegans
… linker cell must be phagocytosed and degraded by engulfing cells. This process does not rely on canonical apoptotic factors, so I carried out a forward genetic screen to identify genes involved in corpse degradation. I discovered a key protein network involved in linker cell corpse engulfment and …

Application of whole-cell biosensor for the impact of crude oil exploration on the environment of the Niger Delta
… to stem the menace of environmental pollution engulfing the region. This research therefore proposes urgent rehabilitative measures expedited by the Bio-reporter approach, to enhance rapid detection, toxicity and management of spills impacted sites. The Bio-reporter method and its success is …

Characterization of Coacervate Systems Using Redox Sensitive Dyes
… ability of the coacervate matrix when engulfing ITS. It was shown that ITS is significantly easier to reduce when engulfed in the coacervate matrix and is significantly more difficult to oxidize once reduced in the system.

Investigation of the role of innate immunity in neurodegeneration driven by defective phagocytosis
… nervous system, glial cells act as phagocytes, engulfing dead neurons and debris to ensure proper morphology and tissue homeostasis. Glial phagocytosis has been implicated in several neurological diseases. In humans, increased numbers of phagocytic glia are observed in conditions like …

High Fat Diet Effects on Erythrophagocytosis and MCP-1 Levels in Mice
… chemokines and differentiate into macrophages, engulfing oxidized lipids, and forming foam cells within the vessel wall. Red blood cells (RBC) are known to bind chemokines through the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC). RBCs may play a role in recruiting immune cells to lesions and …

Human Cytomegalovirus and the Neutrophil
… the first immune cell to engage most pathogens, engulfing and killing them before undergoing apoptosis and clearance by macrophages. However certain viruses and bacteria are able to evade host defences and use the neutrophil as a “Trojan horse” for replication and dissemination. In this context, …

Novel mechanisms of diastolic dysfunction in diabetes
… (STBD1) and to localize glycogen cargo to the engulfing autophagosome (GABARAPL1). Arising from these observations, a role for disrupted glycophagy in the aetiology of diabetic heart disease was hypothesized. Thus, the goal of this Thesis was to address the following questions: (1) What are the …

Becoming mixed: mixed marriages of Bosnia-Herzegovina during the life and death of Yugoslavia
… the larger context of a cultural civil war engulfing much of the Bosnian Islamic establishment during the interwar period. The hardening of the court’s position vis-à-vis mixed marriage by the end of the decade is seen as a symptom of the more profound transformation of Bosnian Muslimness …

An analysis of the rights of minorities in international law
… events show that the subject is also capable of engulfing the international community as a whole. The ending of the "Cold-war" has brought with it a need for urgent revision of many areas of international law and international relations. The subject of the rights of minorities in international …
