Innate Immunity and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Inflammation of central nervous system (CNS) is usually associated with trauma and infection. Neuroinflammation occurs in close relation to trauma, infection, and neurodegenerative diseases. Low-level neuroinflammation is considered to have beneficial effects whereas chronic neuroinflammation can be harmful.

Crosstalk Between Gut Microbiota and Innate Immunity and Its Implication in Autoimmune Diseases
The emerging concept of microbiota contributing to local mucosal homeostasis has fueled investigation into its specific role in immunology. Gut microbiota is mostly responsible for maintaining the balance between host defense and immune tolerance ...

Innate Immunity to Adenovirus [PDF]
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.

Changes in modern dietary habits such as consumption of Western-type diets affect physiology on several levels, including metabolism and inflammation. It is currently unclear whether changes in systemic metabolism due to dietary interventions are long ...

RIG-I-like receptors direct inflammatory macrophage polarization against West Nile virus infection
RIG-I- like receptors (RLRs) play an important role in immune defense against West Nile virus (WNV). Here, using a systems biology approach, the authors show that macrophage polarization to a proinflammatory M1 phenotype via RIG-I and MDA5 signaling is ...

Mosquito Innate Immunity [PDF]
Mosquitoes live under the endless threat of infections from different kinds of pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The mosquito defends itself by employing both physical and physiological barriers that resist the entry of the pathogen and the subsequent establishment of the pathogen within the mosquito.

Aging and Innate Immunity [PDF]
Adaptive immunity undergoes severe deterioration with age and represents the main problem in the elderly. However, evidence accumulated over the last decade supports the hypothesis that aging also has a profound impact on innate immunity, which in turn markedly impacts the health and longevity of older people.
