Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a serine-threonine kinase known to promote inflammation in response to various pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), inflammatory cytokines and G-protein-coupled receptors and consequently aids in host ...

The Dual Nature of Type I and Type II Interferons
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Type I and type II interferons (IFN) are central to both combating virus infection and modulating the antiviral immune response. Indeed, an absence of either the receptor for type I IFNs or IFN-y have resulted in increased susceptibility to virus ...

Opposing Roles of Type I Interferons in Cancer Immunity.
Annual Review of Pathology, 2020 The immune system is tasked with identifying malignant cells to eliminate or prevent cancer spread. This involves a complex orchestration of many immune cell types that together recognize different aspects of tumor transformation and growth. In response,

Nature Network Boston, 2016 Astrocytes have important roles in the central nervous system (CNS) during health and disease. Through genome-wide analyses we detected a transcriptional response to type I interferons (IFN-Is) in astrocytes during experimental CNS autoimmunity and also ...

Lymphoid Stress Surveillance Response Contributes to Vitiligo Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Vitiligo is a chronic multifactorial depigmentation disorder characterized by the destruction and functional loss of melanocytes. Although a direct cytotoxic T cell attack is thought to be responsible for melanocyte damage, the events leading to the loss

Time and length scales of autocrine signals in three dimensions [PDF]
Biophys J. 2007 Sep 15;93(6):1917-22, 2007 A model of autocrine signaling in cultures of suspended cells is developed on the basis of the effective medium approximation. The fraction of autocrine ligands, the mean and distribution of distances traveled by paracrine ligands before binding, as well as the mean and distribution of the ligand lifetime are derived.

Manipulation of Type I Interferon Signaling by HIV and AIDS-Associated Viruses
Journal of Immunology Research, 2019 Type I Interferons were first described for their profound antiviral abilities in cell culture and animal models, and later, they were translated into potent antiviral therapeutics.

Mathematical model of immune response to hepatitis B [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 447, 98-110 (2018), 2018 A new detailed mathematical model for dynamics of immune response to hepatitis B is proposed, which takes into account contributions from innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as cytokines. Stability analysis of different steady states is performed to identify parameter regions where the model exhibits clearance of infection, maintenance of a ...
