Particle and Fibre ToxicologyBackground Silicosis is a progressive inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease with no effective treatments beyond symptom management. While global NLRP3 inflammasome deficiency attenuates silica-induced pathology, myeloid-specific Nlrp3 deletion provides ...

Innate Immunity and Neurodegeneration
Annual Review of Medicine, 2018 The innate immune system plays diverse roles in health and disease. It represents the first line of defense against infection and is involved in tissue repair, wound healing, and clearance of apoptotic cells and cellular debris. Excessive or nonresolving innate immune activation can lead to systemic or local inflammatory complications and cause or ...

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).

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

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Diabetes-related cognitive dysfunction (DRCD) is a serious complication induced by diabetes. However, there are currently no specific remedies for DRCD. Here, we show that streptozotocin-induced DRCD can be prevented without causing side effects through ...

Innate Immunity and Angiogenesis [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2005 Activation of an innate immune response is among the first lines of defense after tissue injury. Restoring blood flow to the site of injured tissue is often a necessary prerequisite for mounting an initial immune response to pathogens and for subsequent initiation of a successful repair of wounded tissue.

Identification of receptor complex components and receptor activation mechanisms in plant innate immunity [PDF]
, 2011 Plants rely on an innate immune system which successfully recognizes and restricts pathogenic microbes. The key for this defense is the detection of pathogen derived non-self signatures and endogenous elicitors released during a microbial attack.

Non-decameric NLRP3 reveals a TGN/MTOC-distal pathway of inflammasome activation
Nature CommunicationsThe NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to a wide range of conditions from infections to Alzheimer’s disease. NLRP3 forms an inactive decameric cage, that upon interaction with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and microtubule organization center (MTOC), leads to

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 ...

In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
, 2009 Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...
