Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]
, 2011 Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

The Epitranscriptome and Innate Immunity [PDF]
PLOS Genetics, 2015 Our knowledge of the variety and abundances of RNA base modifications is rapidly increasing. Modified bases have critical roles in tRNAs, rRNAs, translation, splicing, RNA interference, and other RNA processes, and are now increasingly detected in all types of transcripts.

Aging and Innate Immunity [PDF]
Immunity, 2006 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.

Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes [PDF]
, 2013 Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the

Targeting RIP Kinases in Chronic Inflammatory Disease
Biomolecules, 2021 Chronic inflammatory disorders are characterised by aberrant and exaggerated inflammatory immune cell responses. Modes of extrinsic cell death, apoptosis and necroptosis, have now been shown to be potent drivers of deleterious inflammation, and mutations

Targeting Host Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Achieve the Functional Cure of Chronic Hepatitis B
, 2020 Despite the availability of an effective preventive vaccine for hepatitis B virus (HBV) for over 38 years, chronic HBV (CHB) infection remains a global health burden with around 257 million patients. The ideal treatment goal for CHB infection would be to
