Decoy Receptors Regulation by Resveratrol in Lipopolysaccharide-Activated Microglia
Resveratrol is a polyphenol that acts as antioxidants do, protecting the body against diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s diseases (PD).

ACKR2: An Atypical Chemokine Receptor Regulating Lymphatic Biology [PDF]
The lymphatic system plays an important role in the induction of the immune response by transporting antigens, inflammatory mediators, and leukocytes from peripheral tissues to draining lymph nodes. It is emerging that lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are playing an active role in this context via the expression of chemokines, inflammatory mediators ...

Placental chemokine compartmentalisation: A novel mammalian molecular control mechanism.
Atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2) is a chemokine-scavenging receptor. ACKR2-/-embryos display a reduction in size of a novel, to our knowledge, embryonic skin macrophage population referred to as 'intermediate' cells. CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2)-/-

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.

Atypical chemokine receptors in cancer: friends or foes? [PDF]
Abstract The chemokine system is a fundamental component of cancer-related inflammation involved in all stages of cancer development. It controls not only leukocyte infiltration in primary tumors but also angiogenesis, cancer cell proliferation, and migration to metastatic sites.

The Role of the CXCL12/CXCR4/ACKR3 Axis in Autoimmune Diseases
Chemokine receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. These receptors are intimately involved in cell movement, and thus play a critical role in several physiological and pathological situations that require the precise ...

CXCR2 deficient mice display macrophage-dependent exaggerated acute inflammatory responses [PDF]
CXCR2 is an essential regulator of neutrophil recruitment to inflamed and damaged sites and plays prominent roles in inflammatory pathologies and cancer. It has therefore been highlighted as an important therapeutic target.

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.
