Carbohydrate recognition and complement activation by rat ficolin-B [PDF]

, 2010
Ficolins are innate immune components that bind to PAMPs and structures on apoptotic cells. Humans produce two serum forms (L-and H-ficolin) and a leukocyte-associated form (M-ficolin), whereas rodents and most other mammals produce ficolins-A and -B ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Regulation of NLRP3 Inflammasome by Phosphorylation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The cytosolic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) senses a wide range of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

Mechanism of Innate Immune Responses Against SARS-COV-2 Infection

Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023
The immunopathogenesis of the Coronaviruses (CoVs) is still under study. The innate immunity components can differentiate self and non-self-antigens, be involved in viral particle recognition, and restrict viral replications through antiviral protein ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Toll-Like Receptors in Liver Fibrosis: cellular crosstalk and mechanisms

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that distinguish conserved microbial products, also known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), from host molecules.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Roles of dental pulp fibroblasts in the recognition of bacterium-related factors and subsequent development of pulpitis

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2011
As caries-related bacteria invade deeply into dentin and come into close proximity to the pulp, inflammatory cells (such as lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils) infiltrate into the bacterium-invaded area and consequently pulpitis develops.

MAMP (Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern) triggered immunity in Plants [PDF]

, 2013
Plants are sessile organisms that are under constant attack from microbes. They rely on both preformed defenses, and their innate immune system to ward of the microbial pathogens.
