Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-

Brg1 Supports B Cell Proliferation and Germinal Center Formation Through Enhancer Activation
Activation and differentiation of B cells depend on extensive rewiring of gene expression networks through changes in chromatin structure and accessibility. The chromatin remodeling complex BAF with its catalytic subunit Brg1 was previously identified as

Modulation of NF-kappaB activation in Theileria annulata-infected cloned cell lines is associated with detection of parasite-dependent IKK signalosomes and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Apicomplexan parasites within the genus <i>Theileria</i> have the ability to induce continuous proliferation and prevent apoptosis of the infected bovine leukocyte.

Correlation of group C meningococcal conjugate vaccine response with B- and T-lymphocyte activity. [PDF]
Despite the success of conjugate vaccination against meningococcal group C (MenC) disease, post-vaccination, some individuals still exhibit rapid waning of initially protective bactericidal antibody levels.

Interaction of B cells with activated T cells reduces the threshold for CD40-mediated B cell activation [PDF]
CD154-CD40 interactions are of central importance for the induction of antibody responses to T-dependent antigens. Since most anti-CD40 mAb are only weak B cell mitogens, it is believed that under physiological conditions, signals through CD40 synergize with those from other receptors on B cells to induce B cell activation.

Brain endothelial miR-146a negatively modulates T-cell adhesion through repressing multiple targets to inhibit NF-κB activation. [PDF]
Pro-inflammatory cytokine-induced activation of nuclear factor, NF-κB has an important role in leukocyte adhesion to, and subsequent migration across, brain endothelial cells (BECs), which is crucial for the development of neuroinflammatory disorders ...

TNFAIP3 (A20) is a tumor suppressor gene in Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma [PDF]
Proliferation and survival of Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells, the malignant cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), are dependent on constitutive activation of nuclear factor {kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B).

Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinases in mast cell activation [PDF]
Mast cells are primary effector cells in allergy and chronic inflammation. Class IB (PI3Kγ) and class IA (PI3Kδ) PI3K have been shown to play major roles in mast cell activation: antigen/IgE stimulation triggers autocrine/paracrine activation of mast ...

Multiple regulatory mechanisms control B-1 B cell activation
B-1 cells constitute a unique subset of B cells identified in several species including mice and humans. B-1 cells are further subdivided into B-1a and B-1b subsets as the former but not the later express CD5.
