One-step self-assembly of biogenic Au NPs/PEG-based universal coatings for antifouling and photothermal killing of bacterial pathogens
Specifically, IFN- activates macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells (DC) to destroy intracellular pathogens by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, and antimicrobial peptides
Another process, known as oxidative stress , may contribute to inflammation, damage to blood-vessel walls, oxidation of cholesterol particles, and the development of atherosclerosis
We discuss the recent findings on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in specific fibrotic processes such as macrophage polarization and immunosenescence, alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis and senescence, myofibroblast differentiation and senescence, and alterations in the acellular extracellular matrix
