Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]
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.

Tissue-Resident Lymphocytes Across Innate and Adaptive Lineages
Lymphocytes are an integral component of the immune system. Classically, all lymphocytes were thought to perpetually recirculate between secondary lymphoid organs and only traffic to non-lymphoid tissues upon activation. In recent years, a diverse family

Evolutionary Underpinnings of Innate-Like T Cell Interactions with Cancer
Cancers impose a significant health and economic burden. By harnessing the immune system, current immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment against human cancers and potentially offer a long-term cure. Among others, innate-like T (iT) cells, including natural killer T cells, are promising candidates for immunotherapies.

CD8+ T-cell immunity orchestrated by iNKT cells
CD8+ T cells belonging to the adaptive immune system play key roles in defending against viral infections and cancers. The current CD8+ T cell-based immunotherapy has emerged as a superior therapeutic avenue for the eradication of tumor cells and long ...

Innate immunity against HIV: a priority target for HIV prevention research. [PDF]
This review summarizes recent advances and current gaps in understanding of innate immunity to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and identifies key scientific priorities to enable application of this knowledge to the development of novel ...

Modulation of Toll-like receptor activity by leukocyte Ig-like receptors and their effects during bacterial infection. [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a potent trigger for inflammatory immune responses. Without tight regulation their activation could lead to pathology, so it is imperative to extend our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that govern TLR expression ...

Convergence of the innate and adaptive immunity during human aging
Aging is associated with profound changes in the human immune system, a phenomenon referred to as immunosenescence. This complex immune remodeling affects the adaptive immune system and the CD8+ T cell compartment in particular, leading to the ...

IL-4 Induced Innate CD8+ T Cells Control Persistent Viral Infection. [PDF]
Memory-like CD8+ T cells expressing eomesodermin are a subset of innate T cells initially identified in a number of genetically modified mice, and also exist in wild mice and human.

Notch Signaling Regulates the Homeostasis of Tissue-Restricted Innate-like T Cells [PDF]
Abstract Although Notch signaling plays important roles in lineage commitment and differentiation of multiple cell types including conventional T cells, nothing is currently known concerning Notch function in innate-like T cells. We have found that the homeostasis of several well-characterized populations of innate-like T cells including
