CNS remyelination and the innate immune system [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 A misguided inflammatory response is frequently implicated in myelin damage. Particularly prominent among myelin diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition, with immune–mediated damage central to its aetiology.

Prion Disease and the Innate Immune System [PDF]
Viruses, 2012 Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a unique category of infectious protein-misfolding neurodegenerative disorders. Hypothesized to be caused by misfolding of the cellular prion protein these disorders possess an infectious ...

The interaction of innate immune and adaptive immune system
MedCommThe innate immune system serves as the body's first line of defense, utilizing pattern recognition receptors like Toll‐like receptors to detect pathogens and initiate rapid response mechanisms.

The Innate Immune System in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause for dementia in the world. It is characterized by two biochemically distinct types of protein aggregates: amyloid β (Aβ) peptide in the forms of parenchymal amyloid plaques and congophilic amyloid angiopathy (

The Innate Immune System and Transplantation [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2013 The sensitive and broadly reactive character of the innate immune system makes it liable to activation by stress factors other than infection. Thermal and metabolic stresses experienced during the transplantation procedure are sufficient to trigger the innate immune response and also augment adaptive immunity in the presence of foreign antigen on the ...

Bone and the Innate Immune System [PDF]
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2014 The immune system and bone are intimately linked with significant physical and functionally related interactions. The innate immune system functions as an immediate response system to initiate protections against local challenges such as pathogens and cellular damage.

The innate immune system in the intestine [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 2010 The innate immune system provides the first line of host defense against invading pathogens. Innate immune responses are initiated by germline-encoded PRR, which recognize specific structures expressed by microorganisms. TLR are a family of PRR which sense a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses.

The innate immune system in transplantation [PDF]
Seminars in Immunology, 2011 The vertebrate innate immune system consists of inflammatory cells and soluble mediators that comprise the first line of defense against microbial infection and, importantly, trigger antigen-specific T and B cell responses that lead to lasting immunity.
