Invariant natural killer T cells in lung diseases
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of T cells that are characterized by a restricted T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and a unique ability to recognize glycolipid antigens.

Systemic and local inflammation associated with therapeutic intervention of primary tumor occasionally promotes metastatic recurrence in mouse and human. However, it remains unclear what types of immune cells are involved in this process.

Endocannabinoids and immune regulation☆ [PDF]
Cannabinoid pharmacology has made important advances in recent years after the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors. These discoveries have added to our understanding of exogenous and endogenous cannabinoid signaling along with exploring the various pathways of their biosynthesis, molecular structure, inactivation, and anatomical distribution of ...

Natural killer (NK) cells play an essential role in the fight against tumor development. Over the last years, the progress made in the NK cell biology field and in deciphering how NK cell function is regulated, is driving efforts to utilize NK cell-based

Network model of immune responses reveals key effectors to single and co-infection dynamics by a respiratory bacterium and a gastrointestinal helminth [PDF]
Co-infections alter the host immune response but how the systemic and local processes at the site of infection interact is still unclear. The majority of studies on co-infections concentrate on one of the infecting species, an immune function or group of

Pertussis toxin enhances the induction of autoreactive T cells in mouse models of autoimmunity. Here the authors show that stimulation of IL-1β production in myeloid cells by pertussis toxin is necessary to prime pathogenic Th1/Th17 cells in experimental

The Regulation of Pulmonary Immunity
No evidence has emerged which suggests that the principles of immunity derived from studies on cells from other body sites are contradicted in the lung and its associated lymphoid tissue. What is clear, however, is that the environment dictates the types of cells, their relationship to one another, and what perturbing events will set in motion either ...

Identification of Amino Acid Residues in Human IgM Fc Receptor (FcµR) Critical for IgM Binding
Both non-immune “natural” and antigen-induced “immune” IgM are important for protection against infections and for regulation of immune responses to self-antigens.

MicroRNA in Immune Regulation [PDF]
The immune system protects us from enormously diverse microbial pathogens but needs to be tightly regulated to avoid deleterious immune-mediated inflammation and tissue damage. A wide range of molecular determinants and cellular components work in concert to control the magnitude and duration of a given immune response.

Cell type-specific immune regulation under symbiosis in a facultatively symbiotic coral [PDF]
Many cnidarians host single-celled algae within gastrodermal cells, yielding a mutually beneficial exchange of nutrients between host and symbiont, and dysbiosis can lead to host mortality.
