Development of the Innate Immune Response in NestlingTree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Understanding diversity of human innate immunity receptors: analysis of surface features of leucine-rich repeat domains in NLRs and TLRs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BackgroundThe human innate immune system uses a system of extracellular Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and intracellular Nod-like receptors (NLRs) to match the appropriate level of immune response to the level of threat from the current environment.

The tumor–microbe connection

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐associated bacteria (TAB) dynamically influence cancer biology by modulating tumor progression, metastatic spread, and therapeutic efficacy. Their presence redefines the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a microbial–host interface, yet mechanistic insights remain limited. Understanding TAB colonization routes, functional impacts, and crosstalk with

The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.

Only the strong survive: therapeutic selective pressure drives medulloblastoma leptomeningeal metastasis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiation therapy induces cancer cell death and immune cell infiltration, mainly monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Elevated serum cytokine levels and disruption of the blood–brain barrier promote leptomeningeal dissemination. Cotreatment with dexamethasone reduces cytokine levels, preserves barrier integrity, and limits metastatic spread ...

Disruption of myelin structure and oligodendrocyte maturation in a macaque model of congenital Zika infection

open access: yesNature Communications
Zika virus (ZikV) infection during pregnancy can cause congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) and neurodevelopmental delay in infants, of which the pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

A Th2 Cytokine Profile in Appendicular Lavage Fluid Suggests Allergy as a Possible Etiology for Acute Appendicitis

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2019
Acute appendicitis is the most frequent surgical abdominal emergency, but its etiology remains poorly understood. Histological examination of the appendix, following its removal due to acute appendicitis, consistently shows features in common with ...

Flavivirus Nonstructural Protein NS5 Dysregulates HSP90 to Broadly Inhibit JAK/STAT Signaling

open access: yesCells, 2020
Pathogenic flaviviruses antagonize host cell Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling downstream of interferons α/β. Here, we show that flaviviruses inhibit JAK/STAT signaling induced by a wide range of cytokines

Glycosylated LGALS3BP is highly secreted by bladder cancer cells and represents a novel urinary disease biomarker

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urinary LGALS3BP is elevated in bladder cancer patients compared to healthy controls as detected by the 1959 antibody–based ELISA. The antibody shows enhanced reactivity to the high‐mannose glycosylated variant secreted by cancer cells treated with kifunensine (KIF).
