Chemokine-mediated inflammation in the degenerating retina is coordinated by Müller cells, activated microglia, and retinal pigment epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND Monocyte infiltration is involved in the pathogenesis of many retinal degenerative conditions. This process traditionally depends on local expression of chemokines, though the roles of many of these in the degenerating retina are unclear. Here,

Dendritic Cell Migration: An Essential Step in Initiating Adaptive Immunity Across Tissues

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Immune surveillance of tissues is primarily carried out by dendritic cells (DCs), which act as sentinels for the adaptive immune system. To accomplish this task, DCs migrate from tissues to regional lymph nodes, or from blood‐exposed regions of the spleen to the white pulp, to prime T cell responses. DC migration is a tightly regulated process

Novel biomarkers of inflammation-associated immunity in cervical cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology
BackgroundCervical cancer (CC) is a highly malignant gynecological cancer with a direct causal link to inflammation, primarily resulting from persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Microglial VPS35 deficiency regulates microglial polarization and decreases ischemic stroke-induced damage in the cortex

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Vacuolar sorting protein 35 (VPS35), a critical component of retromer, is essential for selective endosome-to-Golgi retrieval of membrane proteins. It is highly expressed in microglial cells, in addition to neurons.

m6A Reader YTHDC1 Impairs Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection by Downregulating Membrane CX3CR1 Expression

open access: yesViruses
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most prevalent cause of acute lower respiratory infection in young children. Currently, the first RSV vaccines are approved by the FDA. Recently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation has been implicated in the

The neuroprotective effects of milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 against oligomeric amyloid β toxicity

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Phosphatidylserine receptor is a key molecule that mediates the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a phosphatidylserine receptor that is expressed on various macrophage lineage cells, including microglia

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A mediates mouse line- and fate-dependent cellular responses in Cx3cr1-Cre genetic tools

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Microglia, the resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS), have been intensively studied using rodent genetic models, including the Cre-loxP system.

Immune modulation by virus-encoded secreted chemokine binding proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Chemokines are chemoattractant cytokines that mediate the migration of immune cells to sites of infection which play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. As an immune evasion strategy, large DNA viruses (herpesviruses and poxviruses) encode

Fractalkine (CX3CL1), a new factor protecting β-cells against TNFα

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2014
Objective: We have previously shown the existence of a muscle–pancreas intercommunication axis in which CX3CL1 (fractalkine), a CX3C chemokine produced by skeletal muscle cells, could be implicated.
