Primary immunodeficiency: common variable immunodeficiency [PDF]
By definition, primary immunodeficiencies are genetically determined diseases, which are fundamental molecular or organic defects associated with impaired immune responses, in this case there is the clinic of infectious and autoimmune diseases, with an increased risk of developing malignancies.

From Flies to Men: ROS and the NADPH Oxidase in Phagocytes
The cellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents an evolutionary ancient antimicrobial defense system against microorganisms. The NADPH oxidases (NOX), which are predominantly localized to endosomes, and the electron transport chain in ...

Monocyte progenitors give rise to multinucleated giant cells
Multinucleated giant cells characterize granuloma formation in mycobacterial infections. Here the authors identify monocyte precursors with distinct immunological and metabolic properties as a source of the granuloma multinucleated giant cell compartment.

Adoptive T cell therapy cures mice from active hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by impaired lymphocyte cytotoxicity. First‐line therapeutic regimens directed against activated immune cells or secreted cytokines show limited efficacy since they do

A Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Mechanisms Regulating HIV Latency and Activation [PDF]
Objective: The reservoir of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) latently infected cells is the major obstacle for eradication of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Due to the noisy environment and multiple influencing factors in the organism, current dynamical models cannot reach a common understanding of the molecular mechanism of HIV latency ...
