Responses to Cytokines and Interferons that Depend upon JAKs and STATs.

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018
Many cytokines and all interferons activate members of a small family of kinases (the Janus kinases [JAKs]) and a slightly larger family of transcription factors (the signal transducers and activators of transcription [STATs]), which are essential ...

Early metastasis is characterized by Gr1+ cell dysregulation and is inhibited by immunomodulatory nanoparticles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Interferon α2 and interferon γ induce the degranulation independent production of VEGF‐A and IL‐1 receptor antagonist and other mediators from human mast cells

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2018
Background Mast cells are resident immune effector cells, often studied in the context of allergic disease. Found in substantial numbers at sites of potential infection they are increased at sites of angiogenesis and can be pivotal for the sensing and ...

The Effect of Interferon, Interferon Inducers or Interferon Induced Virus Resistance on Subsequent Interferon Production

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1972
Summary The pre-treatment of mouse L cells with interferon or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid potentiated the interferon response of these cells to subsequent stimulation with suboptimal doses of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid. This potentiation was manifested as an earlier production of interferon, a faster attainment of maximum interferon production,

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Multiple Sclerosis Disability: A Prospective Study

open access: yesBrain Sciences
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating central nervous system disease that leads to neurological disability. Brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNFs) are neurotrophins involved in neurodegenerative disorders.

IRG1 and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Act Redundantly with Other Interferon-Gamma-Induced Factors To Restrict Intracellular Replication of Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) restricts the intracellular replication of many pathogens, but the mechanism by which IFN-γ confers cell-intrinsic pathogen resistance remains unclear.

Stochastic model of virus and defective interfering particle spread across mammalian cells with immune response [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
Much of the work on modeling the spread of viral infections utilized partial differential equa- tions. Traveling-wave solutions to these PDEs are typically concentrated on velocities and their dependence on the various parameters. Most of the investigations into the dynamical interaction of virus and defective interfering particles (DIP), which are ...

Dynamic change of gene-to-gene regulatory networks in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has caused extensive damage to society. The characterization of SARS-CoV-2 profiles has been addressed by researchers globally with the aim of resolving this disruptive crisis. This investigation process is indispensable for an understanding of how SARS-CoV-2 behaves in human host cells. However, little is known about
