Targeting innate immunity to downmodulate adaptive immunity and reverse type 1 diabetes [PDF]
, 2017 Arata Itoh, William M Ridgway Division of Immunology, Allergy and Rheumatology, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH, USA Abstract: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by specific destruction of pancreatic insulin-producing ...

Experimental and Molecular MedicineCorneal neurosensory abnormalities cause pain and discomfort in ocular surface disease, yet their pathophysiology is poorly understood. Here we show that in a mouse dry eye model, the ocular (over)activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Innate Immunity to Adenovirus [PDF]
Human Gene Therapy, 2014 Human adenoviruses are the most widely used vectors in gene medicine, with applications ranging from oncolytic therapies to vaccinations, but adenovirus vectors are not without side effects. In addition, natural adenoviruses pose severe risks for immunocompromised people, yet infections are usually mild and self-limiting in immunocompetent individuals.

Turning the Tables: Loss of Adaptive Immunity Reverses Sex Differences in Tuberculosis [PDF]
Sex-based differences in innate immunity may play a crucial role in susceptibility to and progression of tuberculosis (TB), a disease that disproportionately affects men.

The influence of viral RNA secondary structure on interactions with innate host cell defences [PDF]
, 2013 RNA viruses infecting vertebrates differ fundamentally in their ability to establish persistent infections with markedly different patterns of transmission, disease mechanisms and evolutionary relationships with their hosts.

Poxvirus dsDNA genomes differentially activate AIM2 or NLRP3 inflammasomes in human primary cells
The EMBO JournalThe innate immune system is known for its ability to recognize cytosolic DNA as evidence of infection, but detailed studies of this process have been mostly limited to mice and cell lines.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Development of the Innate Immune Response in NestlingTree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) [PDF]
, 2009 The innate immune system provides an immediate, short term, first line of defense from pathogens; its appearance early in development in vertebrates is evidence of its critical importance.

Platelet transcription factors license the pro-inflammatory cytokine response of human monocytes
EMBO Molecular MedicineIn humans, blood Classical CD14+ monocytes contribute to host defense by secreting large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Their aberrant activity causes hyper-inflammation and life-threatening cytokine storms, while dysfunctional monocytes are ...
