Cryptococcus neoformans chitin synthase 3 plays a critical role in dampening host inflammatory responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common disseminated fungal pathogen in AIDS patients, resulting in ∼200,000 deaths each year. There is a pressing need for new treatments for this infection, as current antifungal therapy is hampered by toxicity and/or

Thrombomodulin/activated protein C system in septic disseminated intravascular coagulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The thrombomodulin (TM)/activated protein C (APC) system plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of thrombosis and hemostasis and maintaining vascular integrity in vivo. TM expressed on vascular endothelium binds to thrombin, forming a 1:1

Membrane damage by MBP-1 is mediated by pore formation and amplified by mtDNA

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Eosinophils play a crucial role in host defense while also contributing to immunopathology through the release of inflammatory mediators. Characterized by distinctive cytoplasmic granules, eosinophils securely store and rapidly release various ...

Inflammation-induced DNA damage and damage-induced inflammation: a vicious cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Inflammation is the ultimate response to the constant challenges of the immune system by microbes, irritants or injury. The inflammatory cascade initiates with the recognition of microorganism-derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and ...
