The Role of the Innate Immune System in ALS [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, adult-onset neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by the death of upper and lower motor neurons. Recent studies have made it clear that although motor neurons are the primary targets of the degenerative process, other cell types play key roles in the death of motor neurons.

Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses Against Microsporidia Infection in Mammals
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular and eukaryotic pathogens that can infect immunocompromised and immunocompetent mammals, including humans. Both innate and adaptive immune systems play important roles against microsporidian infection.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The immune system is composed of two subsystems—the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is the first to respond to pathogens and does not retain memory of previous responses.

Virulence, 2021 Appropriate clearance of dead cells generated by apoptosis is critical to the development of multicellular organisms and tissue homeostasis. In mammals, the removal of apoptotic cell is mediated by polarized monocyte/macrophage populations of the innate ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The large majority of lymphocytes belong to the adaptive immune system, which are made up of B2 B cells and the αβ T cells; these are the effectors in an adaptive immune response.

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.

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.

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,

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.
