Systemic Effects of Hemorrhagic Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: Untargeted Peptidomics to Explore the Pathodegradome of Plasma Proteins

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Hemorrhage induced by snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) is a complex phenomenon that involves capillary disruption and blood extravasation. HF3 (hemorrhagic factor 3) is an extremely hemorrhagic SVMP of Bothrops jararaca venom.

A systematic review of the impact of psychosocial factors on immunity: Implications for enhancing BCG response against tuberculosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an urgent global public health priority, causing 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2018. There is evidence that psychosocial factors modulate immune function; however, how this may influence TB risk or BCG vaccine ...

ATR Kinase Is a Crucial Player Mediating the DNA Damage Response in Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are among the most deleterious lesions that threaten genome integrity. To address DSBs, eukaryotic cells of model organisms have evolved a complex network of cellular pathways that are able to detect DNA damage, activate a

Neurodegeneration: Potential Causes, Prevention, and Future Treatment Options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Here I advance a hypothesis that neurodegeneration is a natural process associated with aging due to the loss of genetic redundancy following a mathematical model R(t) = R0(1-αe(βC+γI+δEt)t), where the calorie intake (C) and ...

Biofilm-stimulated epithelium modulates the inflammatory responses in co-cultured immune cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The gingival epithelium is a physical and immunological barrier to the microbiota of the oral cavity, which interact through soluble mediators with the immune cells that patrol the tissue at the gingival epithelium.

Intranasal Immunization Promotes Th17 Immune Responses [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2009
Abstract Th17 cells are a lineage of CD4+ T cells characterized by IL-17 secretion, which plays a crucial role in immune responses against important respiratory pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, we demonstrated that intranasal (i.n.) immunization leads per se to Th17-biased immune responses, regardless of ...
