Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

The Epitranscriptome and Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2015
Our knowledge of the variety and abundances of RNA base modifications is rapidly increasing. Modified bases have critical roles in tRNAs, rRNAs, translation, splicing, RNA interference, and other RNA processes, and are now increasingly detected in all types of transcripts.

An ocular Th1 immune response promotes corneal nerve damage independently of the development of corneal epitheliopathy

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Proper sight is not possible without a smooth, transparent cornea, which is highly exposed to environmental threats. The abundant corneal nerves are interspersed with epithelial cells in the anterior corneal surface and are instrumental to corneal ...

Expression and Localization of Paneth Cells and Their α-Defensins in the Small Intestine of Adult Mouse

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Paneth cells contribute to intestinal innate immunity by sensing bacteria and secreting α-defensin. In Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice, α-defensin termed cryptdin (Crp) in Paneth cells consists of six major isoforms, Crp1 to 6.

Naturally derived cytokine peptides limit virus replication and severe disease during influenza A virus infection

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2023
Objectives Novel host‐targeted therapeutics could treat severe influenza A virus (IAV) infections, with reduced risk of drug resistance. LAT8881 is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring C‐terminal fragment of human growth hormone.

Aging and Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity, 2006
Adaptive immunity undergoes severe deterioration with age and represents the main problem in the elderly. However, evidence accumulated over the last decade supports the hypothesis that aging also has a profound impact on innate immunity, which in turn markedly impacts the health and longevity of older people.

Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the

Targeting RIP Kinases in Chronic Inflammatory Disease

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Chronic inflammatory disorders are characterised by aberrant and exaggerated inflammatory immune cell responses. Modes of extrinsic cell death, apoptosis and necroptosis, have now been shown to be potent drivers of deleterious inflammation, and mutations

Targeting Host Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Achieve the Functional Cure of Chronic Hepatitis B

open access: yes, 2020
Despite the availability of an effective preventive vaccine for hepatitis B virus (HBV) for over 38 years, chronic HBV (CHB) infection remains a global health burden with around 257 million patients. The ideal treatment goal for CHB infection would be to
