Host Immune Response to Influenza A Virus Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are contagious pathogens responsible for severe respiratory infection in humans and animals worldwide. Upon detection of IAV infection, host immune system aims to defend against and clear the viral infection.

Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1335-1341, March 2026.
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

The presence and activity of SP-D in porcine coronary endothelial cells depend on Akt/PI3K, Erk and nitric oxide and decrease after multiple passaging [PDF]

, 2009
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) mediates clearance of microorganisms and modulates inflammation in response to cytotoxic stimulation. It is present in various epithelia, but also in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells.

Pulmonary collectins in innate immunity of the lung [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, 2007
Pulmonary collectins, hydrophilic surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D), have been implicated in the regulation of pulmonary host defence and inflammation. SP-A and SP-D directly interact with a variety of microorganisms including bacteria and viruses, and attenuate the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, Histoplasma capsulatum and Mycoplasma ...

Plasma Proteome Profiling of Centenarian Across Switzerland Reveals Key Youth‐Associated Proteins

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
We characterized the plasma proteomic profiles of centenarians from the SWISS100 cohort, identifying 583 differentially expressed proteins compared to younger and geriatric groups. Cross‐validation with the independent datasets NECS and the TAME consortium confirmed a robust aging signature, while fractional polynomial regressions revealed a specific ...

Immunogenetics of invasive aspergillosis [PDF]

, 2017
Invasive aspergillosis is one of the most important infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, with an incidence rate of 5-15% and an associated mortality of 30-60%. It remains unclear why certain patients develop invasive aspergillosis

IL1B and DEFB1 Polymorphisms Increase Susceptibility to Invasive Mold Infection After Solid-Organ Transplantation. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in immune genes have been associated with susceptibility to invasive mold infection (IMI) among hematopoietic stem cell but not solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients.
