Fas/FasL Contributes to HSV-1 Brain Infection and Neuroinflammation
The Fas/FasL pathway plays a key role in immune homeostasis and immune surveillance. In the central nervous system (CNS) Fas/FasL is involved in axonal outgrowth and adult neurogenesis.

Systemic FasL and TRAIL neutralisation reduce leishmaniasis induced skin ulceration. [PDF]
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by Leishmania infection of dermal macrophages and is associated with chronic inflammation of the skin. L. aethiopica infection displays two clinical manifestations, firstly ulcerative disease, correlated to a ...

Ac-SDKP modulates apoptosis via HSP27 and the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial axes. [PDF]
Schematic diagram of Ac‐SDKP regulating the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways via HSP27. Ac‐SDKP inhibits HSP27 expression, activates the FAS/FASL pathway and Caspase‐3 signaling, increases Caspase‐8 and Caspase‐3 expression, and induces cell apoptosis.

Species difference in the expression of Fas and Fas ligand in mature mammalian spermatozoa
Although it has been proposed that the Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) may protect ejaculated spermatozoa against apoptosis induced by lipoperoxidative damage and against lymphocytes present in the female genital tract, studies reported conflicting results on ...

A connection between levels of soluble Fas and Fas ligand in the aqueous humor and the parameters of structural and functional damage of glaucoma patients [PDF]
Introduction/Objective Fas ligand (FasL) induces apoptosis when interacting with the Fas-receptor. The aim was to determine the concentration of soluble Fas (sFas) and soluble FasL (sFasL) in the aqueous humor (AH) of open-angle glaucoma patients, and ...

FasL is a catabolic factor in alveolar bone homeostasis. [PDF]
AIM Fas ligand (FasL) belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily regulating bone turnover, inflammation, and apoptosis. The appendicular and axial skeleton phenotype of mature Faslgld mice was reported.

Fas/FasL Signaling Regulates CD8 Expression During Exposure to Self-Antigens
Activation of self-reactive CD8+ T cells induces a peripheral tolerance mechanism that involves loss of CD8 expression. Because genetic deficiency of Fas and Fasl causes the accumulation of double-negative (DN; CD3+ TCR-αβ+ CD4- CD8-) T cells that have ...
