Non-canonical signalling mediates changes in fungal cell wall PAMPs that drive immune evasion
Nature Communications, 2019 The authors show that the fungal pathogen Candida albicans exploits diverse host-associated signals, including specific nutrients and stresses, to promote immune evasion by masking cell wall β-glucan, a major pathogen-associated molecular pattern.

Activation and regulation mechanisms of NOD-like receptors based on structural biology
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Innate immunity is a primary defense system against microbial infections. Innate immune pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play pivotal roles in detection of invading pathogens.

Modulation of porcine intestinal epitheliocytes immunetranscriptome response by Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 [PDF]
, 2016 In order to evaluate probiotic strains applicable for the beneficial immunomodulation of the porcine gut (immunobiotics), we previously developed a porcine intestinal epitheliocyte cell line (PIE cells).

Central Role for MyD88 in the Responses of Microglia to Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2006 Abstract Microglia, the innate immune effector cells of the CNS parenchyma, express TLR that recognize conserved motifs of microorganisms referred to as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP). All TLRs identified to date, with the exception of TLR3, use a common adaptor protein, MyD88, to transduce activation signals. Recently, we

Genome-wide analyses of Liberibacter species provides insights into evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and virulence factors. [PDF]
, 2020 'Candidatus Liberibacter' species are insect-transmitted, phloem-limited α-Proteobacteria in the order of Rhizobiales. The citrus industry is facing significant challenges due to huanglongbing, associated with infection from 'Candidatus Liberibacter ...

Germin and germin-like proteins: evolution, structure, and function [PDF]
, 2008 Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all plants. They are part of the cupin superfamily of biochemically diverse proteins, a superfamily that has a conserved tertiary structure, though with limited similarity ...

DAMPs and Innate Immune Training
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The ability to remember a previous encounter with pathogens was long thought to be a key feature of the adaptive immune system enabling the host to mount a faster, more specific and more effective immune response upon the reencounter, reducing the ...
