Fertility treatment in couples with seropositivity for human immunodeficiency virus: Ethics opinion
Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences, 2018 Human immunodeficiency virus results in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome which alters the immune system. The virus can be transmitted through contact with infected semen, vaginal fluids, or blood.

Can Electromagnetic Fields Modulate Inflammation and Cell Death by Acting on the Immune System?
IEEE Access, 2023 Programmed cell death constitutes a fundamental part of the immune response to viral infection. This process forms part of the host defence mechanism and also enables establishment of biomarkers of disease severity.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) [PDF]
, 2007 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a fatal syndrome that affects normally healthy individuals who have acquired an immune system deficiency. AIDS is acquired via a viral agent that attacks the immune system of healthy individuals and eventually

Human Endogenous Retroviruses Are Ancient Acquired Elements Still Shaping Innate Immune Responses
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 About 8% of our genome is composed of sequences with viral origin, namely human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs). HERVs are relics of ancient infections that affected the primates' germ line along the last 100 million of years, and became stable elements ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

CMV immune evasion and manipulation of the immune system with aging
GeroScience, 2017 Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes numerous proteins and microRNAs that function to evade the immune response and allow the virus to replicate and disseminate in the face of a competent innate and acquired immune system.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Approach to Hospital-Acquired and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Meningitis [PDF]
Mediterranean Journal of Infection, Microbes and Antimicrobials, 2013 Among the hospital infections, hospital-acquired central nervous system infections are quite important due to the high mortality. The pathogens that cause hospital-acquired meningitis differ according to the immune system and underlying diseases.

Innate versus adaptive immunity in sticklebacks: evidence for trade-offs from a selection experiment [PDF]
, 2018 In vertebrates, the immune system consists of two arms of different characteristics: the innate and the acquired immune response. Parasites that are only shortly exposed to the immune system are most efficiently attacked by fast, constitutive innate ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
