Stage-specific sampling by pattern recognition receptors during Candida albicans phagocytosis.
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 Candida albicans is a medically important pathogen, and recognition by innate immune cells is critical for its clearance. Although a number of pattern recognition receptors have been shown to be involved in recognition and phagocytosis of this fungus ...

Enhancing crop innate immunity: new promising trends
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plants are constantly exposed to potentially pathogenic microbes present in their surrounding environment. Due to the activation of the pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) response that largely relies on accurate detection of pathogen- or microbe-associated

Pattern recognition receptors in microbial keratitis [PDF]
Eye, 2015 Microbial keratitis is a significant cause of global visual impairment and blindness. Corneal infection can be caused by a wide variety of pathogens, each of which exhibits a range of mechanisms by which the immune system is activated. The complexity of the immune response to corneal infection is only now beginning to be elucidated.

Structure Guided Design of Potent and Selective Ponatinib-Based Hybrid Inhibitors for RIPK1
Cell Reports, 2015 RIPK1 and RIPK3, two closely related RIPK family members, have emerged as important regulators of pathologic cell death and inflammation. In the current work, we report that the Bcr-Abl inhibitor and anti-leukemia agent ponatinib is also a first-in-class

Feasibility of Applying Helper-Dependent Adenoviral Vectors for Cancer Immunotherapy
Biomedicines, 2014 Adenoviruses (Ads) infect a broad range of tissue types, and derived vectors have been extensively used for gene therapy. Helper-dependent Ad vectors (HDAds), devoid of viral coding sequences, allow for insertion of large or multiple transgenes in a ...

Plant pattern-recognition receptors
Trends in Immunology, 2014 Plants are constantly exposed to would-be pathogens in their immediate environment. Yet, despite relying on innate immunity only, plants are resistant to most microbes. They employ pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) for sensitive and rapid detection of the potential danger caused by microbes and pests. Plant PRRs are either surface-localized receptor

Pattern recognition receptors in antifungal immunity [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2014 Receptors of the innate immune system are the first line of defence against infection, being able to recognise and initiate an inflammatory response to invading microorganisms. The Toll-like (TLR), NOD-like (NLR), RIG-I-like (RLR) and C-type lectin-like receptors (CLR) are four receptor families that contribute to the recognition of a vast range of ...

EphA2 is an epithelial cell pattern recognition receptor for fungal β-glucans
Nature Microbiology, 2017 Oral epithelial cells discriminate between pathogenic and non-pathogenic stimuli, and only induce an inflammatory response when they are exposed to high levels of a potentially harmful microorganism. The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in epithelial

LUBAC prevents lethal dermatitis by inhibiting cell death induced by TNF, TRAIL and CD95L
Nature Communications, 2018 TNF mediated inflammation is critical in autoimmune mediated pathology, however many patients are refractory to current anti-TNF therapeutics. Here the authors show induction of several death ligands, in addition to TNF is sufficient to cause fatal ...
