Platelet transcription factors license the pro-inflammatory cytokine response of human monocytes

EMBO Molecular Medicine
In humans, blood Classical CD14+ monocytes contribute to host defense by secreting large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Their aberrant activity causes hyper-inflammation and life-threatening cytokine storms, while dysfunctional monocytes are ...

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Determinants of innate immune responses to mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2012
Includes bibliographical references.Innate cells such as macrophages, monocytes, myeloid dendritic cells and granulocytes recognise mycobacteria and initiate immune responses such as phagocytosis, cytokine production and expression of maturation markers.

Paneth cell α-defensin misfolding correlates with dysbiosis and ileitis in Crohn’s disease model mice

Life Science Alliance, 2020
This study provides novel insight into Crohn’s disease where α-defensin misfolding resulting from excessive ER stress in Paneth cells induces dysbiosis and disease progression.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

SpermQ–A Simple Analysis Software to Comprehensively Study Flagellar Beating and Sperm Steering

Cells, 2018
Motile cilia, also called flagella, are found across a broad range of species; some cilia propel prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells like sperm, while cilia on epithelial surfaces create complex fluid patterns e.g., in the brain or lung.

Die Another Way: Interplay between Influenza A Virus, Inflammation and Cell Death

Viruses, 2020
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major concern to human health due to the ongoing global threat of a pandemic. Inflammatory and cell death signalling pathways play important roles in host defence against IAV infection.

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Hygiene hypothesis and innate immunity. evaluating the role of environmental factors and genetic polymorphisms on the expression of receptors of the innate immune system [PDF]

, 2009
Background In ‘westernised’ countries, the prevalence of childhood asthma and allergy has risen throughout the last few decades. A series of epidemiological studies showed reduced prevalence of asthma and allergy among farmers’ children compared to non ...
