It has been established that the transglutaminase 2 (TG2) enzyme plays an important role in the clearance of apoptotic cells, the lack of this enzyme leads to autoimmune disease. TG2 can enter the nucleus and its cell biochemical effects are related to modulation of gene expression and modification of the cytoskeleton. In Alzheimer's disease TG2 participates in the formation of covalently cross-linked protein aggregates. TG2 can protect hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes against apoptosis through its G protein and protein disulphide isomerase activities. PPARÎł contributes to the development of phagocytic capacity of macrophages by inducing specific phagocytic genes. The PPARÎł, rretinoid and LXR receptor signal pathways are interlinked in regulating cholesterol content of cells. Activation of PPARÎł in dendritic cells leads to the development of a subpopulation with increased phagocytic capacity, effective lipid presentation and iNKT activity. An apopto-phagocytic Taqman Low Density array has been developed for quantitative measuring of 94 genes in parallel. Cells dying by autophagy are removed by the same mechanism as apoptotic cells while specific phagocytic genes are induced. Dendritic cells interacting with apoptotic cells can fine tune the immune system

Preliminary Notes on the MahÄmudrÄtilaka: Contents, History, Transmission
This short essay is an introduction to the study of the MahÄmudrÄtilaka (âAn Ornament of the Great Sealâ), an important Buddhist tantric scripture of the Hevajra cycle. The text is a so-called uttaratantra (ancillary scripture) of the Hevajratantra. This cult emerged around ca. 900 CE in Eastern India and quickly rose to a position of prominence. In order to illustrate this point, first I discuss some historical references to the Hevajra cult: a lexicographical work, inscriptions, and testimony in Ćaiva exegesis. I then contextualise the MahÄmudrÄtilaka among the Hevajra ancillary scriptures and share some notes on the purpose of such texts. I argue that such scriptures were meant to update a cultâs ritual and doctrinal palette in order to keep up with developments seen (and thought desirable to have) in rival schools. In the next section, I present the only known Sanskrit manuscript of the MahÄmudrÄtilaka, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, PreuĂischer Kulturbesitz Orientabteilung Hs. or. 8711, a late Nepalese copy dated 1827 CE, which can be shown to be a copy of a Vorlage dating to 1204 CE. Next, I compare the text transmitted therein to the Tibetan translation, TĆh. 420, and identify them as two recensions. I then proceed to discussing exegesis on the MahÄmudrÄtilaka, the works of *GambhÄ«ravajra and *PrajñÄĆrÄ«gupta; these texts are for now available only in their Tibetan translation. I also identify some testimonia of the MahÄmudrÄtilaka. Using all this evidence, I argue that the text cannot be much earlier than the late 11th century. Next, I present an overview of the text by means of examining selected passages and their most significant features, with special focus on the differences and similarities with the Hevajratantra, the internal references to other scriptures, and the textâs significant parallels with the VajramÄlÄbhidhÄna. I argue that the text is unapologetically antinomian and gnostic. In the second half of the paper, styled as an appendix, I select five blocks of verses, which I edit and translate: the first deals with the relationship between initiating master and disciple, the second provides some insights into the attitudes of tantric practitioners towards orthodox Buddhists, the third contains detailed instructions on how to gather the antinomian substances known as ânectarsâ, the fourth deals with communal worship in a rite known as the gaáčacakra, and the final one describes a somewhat rare and rather gruesome ritual meant to bestow the power of flight
