Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]
While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.

Hypercytokinemia: Increased or decreased innate immunity? [PDF]
The adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ which secretes proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines resulting into raised serum levels. Hypercytokinemia has been interpreted as raised level of innate immunity and its evolution is interpreted as a ...

Aging and Innate Immunity [PDF]
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.

RIG-I-like receptors direct inflammatory macrophage polarization against West Nile virus infection
RIG-I- like receptors (RLRs) play an important role in immune defense against West Nile virus (WNV). Here, using a systems biology approach, the authors show that macrophage polarization to a proinflammatory M1 phenotype via RIG-I and MDA5 signaling is ...

Predictors and immunological correlates of sublethal mercury exposure in vampire bats [PDF]
Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive heavy metal that often enters the environment from anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and agriculture. Chronic exposure to Hg can impair immune function, reducing the ability of animals to resist or recover from ...

Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and cutaneous melanoma [PDF]
The prognosis of metastatic melanoma (MM) patients has remained poor for a long time. However, the recent introduction of effective target therapies (BRAF and MEK inhibitors for BRAFV600-mutated MM) and immunotherapies (anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1) has ...

Mosquito Innate Immunity [PDF]
Mosquitoes live under the endless threat of infections from different kinds of pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The mosquito defends itself by employing both physical and physiological barriers that resist the entry of the pathogen and the subsequent establishment of the pathogen within the mosquito.
