Innate immunity and coagulation [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2011 Infection frequently elicits a coagulation response. Endotoxin triggers the formation of tissue factor initiating coagulation, down regulates anticoagulant mechanisms including the protein C pathway and heparin-like proteoglycans and up regulates plasminogen activator inhibitor. The overall physiological result of this is to promote coagulation through

Adaptive immunity in invertebrates: a straw house without a mechanistic foundation [PDF]
, 2007 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.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Mosquito Innate Immunity [PDF]
Insects, 2018 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.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Innate immunity to pathogens [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2008 The innate immune system is responsible for early detection and response to pathogens that then modulate subsequent immune responses [1]. A characteristic of innate immunity is the recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by germline-encoded receptors such as the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) [2].

Particle and Fibre ToxicologyBackground Silicosis is a progressive inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease with no effective treatments beyond symptom management. While global NLRP3 inflammasome deficiency attenuates silica-induced pathology, myeloid-specific Nlrp3 deletion provides ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Innate Immunity and Neurodegeneration
Annual Review of Medicine, 2018 The innate immune system plays diverse roles in health and disease. It represents the first line of defense against infection and is involved in tissue repair, wound healing, and clearance of apoptotic cells and cellular debris. Excessive or nonresolving innate immune activation can lead to systemic or local inflammatory complications and cause or ...
