STEAP4 expression in CNS resident cells promotes Th17 cell-induced autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021 Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating neurological disease caused by autoimmune destruction of the myelin sheath. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely used animal model for the pathogenesis of MS.

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
, 2015 Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

IL-15 Overcomes Hepatocellular Carcinoma-Induced NK Cell Dysfunction
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 NK cells have potent antitumor capacity. They are enriched in the human liver, with a large subset specialized for tissue-residence. The potential for liver-resident versus liver-infiltrating NK cells to populate, and exert antitumor functions in, human ...

Predictors and immunological correlates of sublethal mercury exposure in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive heavy metal that often enters the environment from anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and agriculture. Chronic exposure to Hg can impair immune function, reducing the ability of animals to resist or recover from ...

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.

Framework engineering to produce dominant T cell receptors with enhanced antigen-specific function
Nature Communications, 2019 Increasing TCR cell surface expression can potentiate T cell responses to low-concentrations of antigen. Here the authors identify aminoacids in human TCR variable domains that impact its surface expression, and demonstrate how editing these residues can
