Effect of Calcium Deficiency on Growth and Leaf Acid Soluble Proteins of Tomato [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The effects of temporary Ca (Ca) calcium deficiency lasting 2, 3, 4 or 5 d were investigated on tomato plants at the 6-leaf stage, grown hydroponically under controlled conditions. With 2, 3 or 4 d of Ca deficiency, the dry weight of the tomato leaves,

Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern-Triggered Immunity: Veni, Vidi…?

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2010
For many years, plant pathology was divided into two schools of thought. It was clear that purified molecules or crude extracts from microbes or plants (referred to as general elicitors) could induce activation of general defense responses ([Boller, 1995][1]).

Structural basis for recognition of N-formyl peptides as pathogen-associated molecular patterns

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
AbstractThe formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is primarily responsible for detection of short peptides bearing N-formylated methionine (fMet) that are characteristic of protein synthesis in bacteria and mitochondria. As a result, FPR1 is critical to phagocyte migration and activation in bacterial infection, tissue injury and inflammation.

NLRP3: Role in ischemia/reperfusion injuries

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is expressed in immune cells, especially in dendritic cells and macrophages and acts as a constituent of the inflammasome.

Modulation of plant autophagy during pathogen attack [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In plants, the highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy has long been known as a means of maintaining cellular homeostasis and coping with abiotic stress conditions. Accumulating evidence has linked autophagy to immunity against invading pathogens,

Innate immunity to malaria: The good, the bad and the unknown

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Malaria is the cause of 600.000 deaths annually. However, these deaths represent only a tiny fraction of total malaria cases. Repeated natural infections with the causative agent, Plasmodium sp.

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.

Pattern recognition receptors and inflammasome: Now and beyond

open access: yesMolecules and Cells
: Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are fundamental to the innate immune system, functioning to detect and eliminate invading pathogens by inhibiting their replication and limiting host tissue damage.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

The roles of odontoblasts in dental pulp innate immunity

open access: yesJapanese Dental Science Review, 2018
Summary: Odontoblasts located in the outermost layer of dental pulp form a natural barrier between mineralized tissues, dentin, and soft tissues, dental pulp, of the vital tooth, and they first recognize caries-related pathogens and sense external ...
