ASBMB AudioPhiles show

Summary: Nov 22 2011 -- In this podcast we hear an interview with Peter Hanley from the Institute for Molecular Cell Biology in Münster Germany who talks about his group's Paper of the Week "Real-time imaging reveals that P2Y2 and P2Y12 receptor agonists are not chemoattractants and macrophage chemotaxis to C5a is PI-3K and p38 MAPK-independent." The paper and interview investigate the role of ATP in inducing the chemotactic response of macrophages during inflammation.
