Intestinal macromolecular transport supporting adaptive immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The gastrointestinal tract performs opposing functions of nutrient absorption, barrier maintenance, and the delivery of luminal substances for the appropriate induction of tolerogenic or protective adaptive immunity.

Immunization and Aging: a Learning Process in the Immune Network

open access: yes, 1998
The immune system can be thought as a complex network of different interacting elements. A cellular automaton, defined in shape-space, was recently shown to exhibit self-regulation and complex behavior and is, therefore, a good candidate to model the ...

Subverting sterols: rerouting an oxysterol-signaling pathway to promote tumor growth. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol that are generated enzymatically or through autoxidation. Initially identified as important lipid signaling molecules in the context of atherosclerosis and inflammation, accumulated evidence indicates ...

IFN-mediated negative feedback supports bacteria class-specific macrophage inflammatory responses

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Despite existing evidence for tuning of innate immunity to different classes of bacteria, the molecular mechanisms used by macrophages to tailor inflammatory responses to specific pathogens remain incompletely defined.

Small-molecule screening identifies Syk kinase inhibition and rutaecarpine as modulators of macrophage training and SARS-CoV-2 infection

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
Summary: Biologically active small molecules can impart modulatory effects, in some cases providing extended long-term memory. In a screen of biologically active small molecules for regulators of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induction, we identify several

Correlations in the T Cell Response to Altered Peptide Ligands

open access: yes, 2004
The vertebrate immune system is a wonder of modern evolution. Occasionally, however, correlations within the immune system lead to inappropriate recruitment of preexisting T cells against novel viral diseases.

Environmental Circadian Disruption Elevates the IL-6 Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Blood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The immune system is regulated by circadian clocks within the brain and immune cells. Environmental circadian disruption (ECD), consisting of a 6-h phase advance of the light:dark cycle once a week for 4 weeks, elevates the inflammatory response to ...

Conserved biophysical compatibility among the highly variable germline-encoded regions shapes TCR-MHC interactions

open access: yeseLife, 2023
T cells are critically important components of the adaptive immune system primarily responsible for identifying and responding to pathogenic challenges.
