Regulation of hematopoietic stem cell activity by inflammation
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are quiescent cells with self-renewal capacity and the ability to generate all mature blood cells. HSCs normally reside in specialized niches in the bone marrow that help maintain their quiescence and long-term ...

The Interplay between the Host Microbiome and Pathogenic Viral Infections
The microorganisms associated with an organism, the microbiome, have a strong and wide impact in their host biology. In particular, the microbiome modulates both the host defense responses and immunity, thus influencing the fate of infections by ...

Elevated Levels of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease characterized by chronic brain inflammation. Leukocyte infiltration of brain tissue causes inflammation, demyelination, and the subsequent formation of sclerotic plaques, which are a ...

The IFITMs Inhibit Zika Virus Replication
Zika virus has emerged as a severe health threat with a rapidly expanding range. The IFITM family of restriction factors inhibits the replication of a broad range of viruses, including the closely related flaviruses West Nile virus and dengue virus. Here,

Activation of cytosolic RNA sensors by endogenous ligands: roles in disease pathogenesis
Early detection of infection is a central and critical component of our innate immune system. Mammalian cells have developed specialized receptors that detect RNA with unusual structures or of foreign origin – a hallmark of many virus infections ...
