ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGE EXPRESSED NKR-P1B INTERACTS WITH CLR-G ON TYPE-II PNEUMOCYTES TO MODULATE ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGE LIPID METABOLISM AND SURVIVAL
(2021-11-30)Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are specialized, tissue-resident macrophages at the frontline of pulmonary defense against inhaled pathogens, and surfactant homeostasis. To perform these roles, AMs undergo cellular programming ... -
Ambient noise and the communication of predation risk between parent and nestling tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)
(2013-04-30)Ambient noise masks important acoustic signals used in a variety of communication systems. Nestling birds communicate with their parents using loud begging calls that convey their need for food, but these calls can also ... -
Ambient Noise from Turbidity Currents in Howe Sound
(2017-08-31)Turbidity currents are gravity currents that derive their density difference from sediment suspended within the fluid. In the marine environment they are responsible for sediment transport on large scales (e.g. it is ... -
