Infection control in the brain and the eye
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Human RNase 7 is known to exert antimicrobial activity in epithelial tissues. Here, using SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, respectively, we found that RNase 7 enhances immune responses to LPS stimulation by reducing the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and ROS.

Immune endotypes in tuberculosis: Keys to decoding disease complexity
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with multi‐drug antibiotic regimens as the current standard of care. While effective at killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis, these treatments do not resolve persistent inflammation, prevent lung damage, or reverse immune dysregulation that contribute to poor outcomes and disease ...
