The immune system as a system of relations
Progress in neuroimmunology established that the nervous and the immune systems are two functionally related physiological systems. Unique sensory and immune receptors enable them to control interactions of the organism with the inner and the outer worlds. Both systems undergo an experience-driven selection process during their ontogeny. They share the

PI3K in T Cell Adhesion and Trafficking
PI3K signalling is required for activation, differentiation, and trafficking of T cells. PI3Kδ, the dominant PI3K isoform in T cells, has been extensively characterised using PI3Kδ mutant mouse models and PI3K inhibitors. Furthermore, characterisation of

Structural mechanism of tapasin-mediated MHC-I peptide loading in antigen presentation
The catalytic chaperone tapasin assists peptide loading onto MHC-I molecules for antigen presentation and immune recognition. Here, the authors present crystal structures that provide insights into the molecular mechanism of tapasin-mediated peptide ...

MicroRNA in the immune system, microRNA as an immune system
SummaryThe advent of microRNA has potentially uncovered a new level of complexity to be considered for every biological process. Through the modulation of transcription and translation, microRNA alter the basal state of cells and the outcome of stimulatory events. The exact effect of the microRNA network and individual microRNA on cellular processes is

Muscle Loss Driven by Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Suppression via β-Adrenergic Activation in High-Normal Catecholamine Status [PDF]
Background Catecholamines play a crucial role in muscle biogenesis, but their persistent elevation is linked to muscle wasting, which is poorly understood.

Bacteriophages and the Immune System [PDF]
Bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—are abundant within our bodies, but their significance to human health is only beginning to be explored. Here, we synthesize what is currently known about our phageome and its interactions with the immune system.

Differences in Type 2 Fiber Composition in the Vastus Lateralis and Gluteus Maximus of Patients with Hip Fractures [PDF]
Background Aging leads to sarcopenia, which is characterized by reduced muscle mass and strength. Many factors, including altered muscle protein turnover, diminished neuromuscular function, hormonal changes, systemic inflammation, and the structure and ...
