RIP1 kinase activity is critical for skin inflammation but not for viral propagation
Inhibiting RIP1 has benefits to skin inflammation but not certain viral infections. Abstract Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1) is a critical effector of inflammatory responses and cell death activation. Cell death pathways regulated by RIP1 include caspase‐dependent apoptosis and caspase‐independent necroptosis.

Epstein-Barr virus IL-10 gene expression by a recombinant murine gammaherpesvirus in vivo enhances acute pathogenicity but does not affect latency or reactivation. [PDF]
BackgroundMany viral genes affect cytokine function within infected hosts, with interleukin 10 (IL-10) as a commonly targeted mediator. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes an IL-10 homologue (vIL-10) expressed during productive (lytic) infection and induces

Regulation of cGAS‐Mediated Immune Responses and Immunotherapy
The cGAS‐STING pathway is central to innate immunity and must be tightly regulated. cGAS performs essential roles in numerous immune functions such as DNA sensing, antiviral defense, antitumor immunity, senescence, and DNA repair. Aberrant cGAS activation leads to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Transnuclear CD8 T cells specific for the immunodominant epitope Gra6 lower acute-phase Toxoplasma gondii burden. [PDF]
We generated a CD8 T-cell receptor (TCR) transnuclear (TN) mouse specific to the Ld -restricted immunodominant epitope of GRA6 from Toxoplasma gondii as a source of cells to facilitate further investigation into the CD8 T-cell-mediated response against ...

As an essential lipid, cholesterol is of great value in keeping cell homeostasis, being the precursor of bile acid and steroid hormones, and stabilizing membrane lipid rafts. As a kind of cholesterol metabolite produced by enzymatic or radical process, oxysterols have drawn much attention in the last decades.

A Novel Peptide-Based SILAC Method to Identify the Posttranslational Modifications Provides Evidence for Unconventional Ubiquitination in the ER-Associated Degradation Pathway. [PDF]
The endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway is responsible for disposing misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum by inducing their ubiquitination and degradation.

Gammaherpesvirus Co-infection with Malaria Suppresses Anti-parasitic Humoral Immunity. [PDF]
Immunity to non-cerebral severe malaria is estimated to occur within 1-2 infections in areas of endemic transmission for Plasmodium falciparum. Yet, nearly 20% of infected children die annually as a result of severe malaria.

Twist: a regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lung fibrosis. [PDF]
Several studies have implicated viral infection as an important factor in the pathogenesis of IPF and related fibrotic lung disorders. Viruses are thought to cause epithelial cell injury and promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process ...
