Aging of the innate immune system [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2010 The innate immune system is composed of a network of cells including neutrophils, NK and NKT cells, monocytes/macrophages, and dendritic cells that mediate the earliest interactions with pathogens. Age-associated defects are observed in the activation of all of these cell types, linked to compromised signal transduction pathways including the Toll-like

Administration of Probiotics in the Water in Finfish Aquaculture Systems: A Review
Fishes, 2018 Over the last few decades, the contribution of aquaculture to animal protein production has increased enormously, and the sector now provides almost half of the fish and shellfish consumed worldwide, making it a major food producer.

Fishes, 2018 The interaction between the immune and endocrine systems has long been recognized in vertebrates. In fish, it is known that the prevalence and intensity of such infections are higher in males than in females and probably related to sex steroid hormone ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Four Pathways Involving Innate Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 The maternal innate immune system plays an important role both in normal pregnancy as well as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy including preeclampsia (PE).

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.
