Current and emerging analytical technologies for analyzing chitin-protein binding interactions
Chitin, a small organic molecule commonly found in fungal cell walls and insect exoskeletons, has the ability to elicit an immune response in plants by binding to specific membrane-bound receptors. Understanding how plants detect and fend off deleterious

Enhancing acute inflammatory and sepsis treatment: superiority of membrane receptor blockade
Conditions such as acute pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis, delayed graft function and infections caused by a variety of microorganisms, including gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, increase the risk of sepsis and therefore mortality.

γδ T Cells Respond Directly to Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns, [PDF]
Abstract γδ T cells recognize unprocessed or non-peptide Ags, respond rapidly to infection, and localize to mucosal surfaces. We have hypothesized that the innate functions of γδ T cells may be more similar to those of cells of the myeloid lineage than to other T cells.

Chromatin-Associated Molecular Patterns (CAMPs) in sepsis
Several molecular patterns have been identified that recognize pattern recognition receptors. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are commonly used terminologies to classify molecules ...

The Receptor-Like Kinase SERK3/BAK1 Is Required for Basal Resistance against the Late Blight Pathogen Phytophthora infestans in Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
BACKGROUND The filamentous oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans causes late blight, an economically important disease, on members of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), such as the crop plants potato and tomato.
