Gasdermin E deficiency limits inflammation and lung damage during influenza virus infection

Cell Death and Disease
Severe influenza A virus (IAV) infections are associated with hyperinflammation and significant lung damage. Gasdermin E (GSDME) mediates pyroptosis, a lytic and inflammatory type of cell death.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Innate immunity in rice [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2011
Advances in studies of rice innate immunity have led to the identification and characterization of host sensors encoding receptor kinases that perceive conserved microbial signatures. Receptor kinases that carry the non-orginine-aspartate domain, are highly expanded in rice (Oryza sativa) compared with Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

New application of anti-TLR monoclonal antibodies: detection, inhibition and protection

Inflammation and Regeneration, 2018
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is an essential tool for the analysis in various fields of biology. In the field of innate immunology, mAbs have been established and used for the study of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of pathogen sensors that induces ...

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...

Experimenting with Innate Immunity [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
In a previous paper the authors argued the case for incorporating ideas from innate immunity into artificial immune systems (AISs) and presented an outline for a conceptual framework for such systems. A number of key general properties observed in the biological innate and adaptive immune systems were highlighted, and how such properties might be ...

Effectors Targeting the Unfolded Protein Response during Intracellular Bacterial Infection

Microorganisms, 2021
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a homeostatic response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress within eukaryotic cells. The UPR initiates transcriptional and post-transcriptional programs to resolve ER stress; or, if ER stress is severe or prolonged,

TRAF2 binds to TIFA via a novel motif and contributes to its autophagic degradation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TRAF family members couple receptor signalling complexes to downstream outputs, but how they interact with these complexes is not always clear. Here, we show that during ADP‐heptose signalling, TRAF2 binding to TIFA requires two short sequence motifs in the C‐terminal tail of TIFA, which are distinct from the TRAF6 binding motif.

NLRP3 deficiency abrogates silica-induced neutrophil infiltration, pulmonary damage and fibrosis

Respiratory Research
Background Silicosis is a progressive and often fatal occupational lung disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an innate immune sensor that is activated by silica. Accumulating evidence has implicated a role for NLRP3 in silicosis pathogenesis. In this study,
