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.

Regulation of Adaptive Immunity by the Innate Immune System [PDF]
Science, 2010 Twenty years after the proposal that pattern recognition receptors detect invasion by microbial pathogens, the field of immunology has witnessed several discoveries that have elucidated receptors and signaling pathways of microbial recognition systems and how they control the generation of T and B lymphocyte–mediated immune responses.

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.

CD4+CD25+ TR cells suppress innate immune pathology through cytokine-dependent mechanisms [PDF]
, 2003 Copyright @ 2003 The Rockefeller University PressCD4+CD25+ regulatory T (TR) cells can inhibit a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, but the precise mechanisms by which they suppress immune responses in vivo remain unresolved.

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.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The influence of viral RNA secondary structure on interactions with innate host cell defences [PDF]
, 2013 RNA viruses infecting vertebrates differ fundamentally in their ability to establish persistent infections with markedly different patterns of transmission, disease mechanisms and evolutionary relationships with their hosts.

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.

Planarians (Platyhelminthes)—An Emerging Model Organism for Investigating Innate Immune Mechanisms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 An organism responds to the invading pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi by engaging innate and adaptive immune system, which functions by activating various signal transduction pathways. As invertebrate organisms (such as sponges,
