Perturbation of mechanical force at muscle attachments and its effects on tendon morphogenesis provides insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular responses to tensional force and resulting extracellular matrix production.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis exploits an IFN/IL6/CEBP axis linked to monocyte expansion in humans.

Human blood contains T cell-monocyte complexes which are not technical artefacts but reflect true in vivo immune cell interactions.

Mechanistic insights show how treatment with apoA1 is anti-inflammatory by rapidly disrupting macrophage chemotaxis and monocyte recruitment.

The force generated by muscles leads to signaling that helps to shape nearby tendon precursor cells.

Inflammatory monocytes carry live Mycobacteria from the lung to draining lymph nodes and acquire many characteristics of dendritic cells but fail to stimulate proliferation of CD4 T cells.

Cellularization in Sphaeroforma arctica generates a self-organized structure that morphologically resembles an epithelium, and is associated with tightly regulated expression of cell adhesion pathways.

Examining gene expression in the Fulani, an ethnic group relatively protected from malaria, identifies a more transcriptionally reactive response in cells of the innate immune system.

Monocytes display distinct migratory and functional activity compared to dendritic cells and alveolar macrophages in the lungs.

Functional genomics reveal complex genome regulation during the coenocytic development of the ichthyosporean Creolimax fragrantissima, a protist closely related to animals.
