Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes [PDF]
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

The role of BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) in the regulation of plant innate immunity : functional and genetic characterization of BAK1 overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
The role of BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE 1 (BAK1) in the regulation of plant innate immunity: functional and genetic characterization of BAK1 overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana SUMMARY BAK1 (BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE 1) is an intensively studied member ...

The Epitranscriptome and Innate Immunity [PDF]
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.

In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...

A Nutrition-Longevity Tradeoff Enforced by Innate Immunity
Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in multiple animal species, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. A recent study published in Cell Metabolism by Wu et al.

Paneth cells contribute to intestinal innate immunity by sensing bacteria and secreting α-defensin. In Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice, α-defensin termed cryptdin (Crp) in Paneth cells consists of six major isoforms, Crp1 to 6.

Adaptive immunity in invertebrates: a straw house without a mechanistic foundation [PDF]
Recently claims have been made for radical new insights in the field of invertebrate immunology that involve memory, specificity and/or maternal transfer of immunocompetence.

Proper sight is not possible without a smooth, transparent cornea, which is highly exposed to environmental threats. The abundant corneal nerves are interspersed with epithelial cells in the anterior corneal surface and are instrumental to corneal ...

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.
