A new paradigm: 46 structural cell types function as environment-supporting innate immune cells, with endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells as key prototypes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

How does an RNA selfie work? EV-associated RNA in innate immunity as self or danger
Innate immunity is a first line of defence against danger. Exogenous pathogen- or microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs or MAMPs) trigger innate immune responses through well-understood cellular pathways.

Vaccines for many years act as one of the most effective and successfully used medicines. Vaccines obtained by traditional methods contain in their composition live, weakened or killed microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.).

Uridine composition of the poly-U/UC tract of HCV RNA defines non-self recognition by RIG-I. [PDF]
Viral infection of mammalian cells triggers the innate immune response through non-self recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in viral nucleic acid.

Lena Peterson's comments (Names 37: 83–92) misinterpret my main point (in Names 33 [1985]: 111–18) on the connection between names and other noun phrases. A printing error in the 1985 article also caused confusion for many readers.

Phosphorylation is required for the pathogen defense function of the Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter accumulates at sites of pathogen detection, where it is involved in defense against a number of pathogens. Perception of PAMPs by pattern recognition receptors initiates recruitment of PEN3 and also leads to PEN3 ...

The calcium-dependent protein kinase CPK28 negatively regulates the BIK1-mediated PAMP-induced calcium burst [PDF]
Plants are protected from microbial infection by a robust immune system. Two of the earliest responses mediated by surface-localized immune receptors include an increase in cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) and a burst of apoplastic reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Role of MPK4 in pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered alternative splicing in Arabidopsis.
Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNAs in plants is an important mechanism of gene regulation in environmental stress tolerance but plant signals involved are essentially unknown.

Creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient: numerical experiments [PDF]
A recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient is implemented numerically. The following assumptions are used: \bee \zeta_m=h(x_m)/a^\kappa,\quad d=O(a^{(2-\kappa)/3}),\quad M=O(1/a^{2-\kappa}),\quad \kappa\in(0,1), \eee where ...

Analysis of Functional Virus-generated PAMP RNAs Using IFNα/β ELISA Assay
Virus-generated PAMP RNAs are key factors that activate host immune response. The PAMP RNAs are therefore usually closely related with viral disease pathogenesis. Quantitative real time PCR is a conventional method to assess RNA.
