Interaction between Cannabinoid System and Toll-Like Receptors Controls Inflammation
Mediators of Inflammation, 2016 Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system consisting of cannabinoid receptors, endogenous ligands, and biosynthetic and metabolizing enzymes, interest has been renewed in investigating the promise of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.

Immune Function Genes, Genetics, and the Neurobiology of Addiction
Alcohol Research, 2012 The neuroimmune system (i.e., the immune system and those components of the nervous system that help regulate immune responses), and in particular the innate immune system, play a role in the development of addictions, including alcoholism ...

Physiology and Pathology of Innate Immune Response Against Pathogens [PDF]
, 2017 Pathogen infections are recognized by the immune system, which consists of two types of responses: an innate immune response and an antigen-specific adaptive immune response.

Memory and Specificity in the Insect Immune System: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 The immune response of a host to a pathogen is typically described as either innate or adaptive. The innate form of the immune response is conserved across all organisms, including insects.

Systems Biology and Innate Immunity
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2013 The innate immune system is the first line of host defense against invading microorganisms and is essential for maintenance of host health. The innate immune response is largely mediated by soluble host factors—such as complement—and phagocytic leukocytes.

The immune system as drug target [PDF]
, 2013 The immune system is perhaps the largest yet most diffuse and distributed somatic system in vertebrates. It plays vital roles in fighting infection and in the homeostatic control of chronic disease.

The innate immune system 'puzzle' [PDF]
Nature Immunology, 2006 Detecting pathogen invasion and regulating homeostatic processes are two essential functions of myriad non-Toll-like innate immune proteins.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Development of the Innate Immune Response in NestlingTree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) [PDF]
, 2009 The innate immune system provides an immediate, short term, first line of defense from pathogens; its appearance early in development in vertebrates is evidence of its critical importance.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
