TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: Water-soluble acidic polysaccharides from the cell walls of Ulva rigida are mainly composed of disaccharides that contain glucuronic acid and sulphated rhamnose and can be used as an experimental immunostimulant for analysing inflammatory responses related to macrophage functions.

TL;DR: The above data demonstrate that the characteristic endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant effect of t-RESV in rat aorta seems to be caused by the inhibition of vascular NADH/NADPH oxidase and the subsequent decrease of basal cellular O(2)* generation and, therefore, of NO biotransformation.

TL;DR: Histopathological studies revealed severe encephalitis and meningitis, necrosis of the hepatic parenchyme, severe oedema of the intestinal wall, degeneration of muscle fibres, hyperplasia of the branchial epithelium, and/or vascular and perivascular inflammation in this ciliate.

TL;DR: Results indicate that c‐RESV at micromolar concentrations significantly attenuates several components of the macrophage response to proinflammatory stimuli.
