Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is initiated by hemagglutinin (HA), a glycoprotein exposed on the virion’s lipid envelope that undergoes cleavage by host cell proteases to ensure membrane fusion, entry into the host cells, and completion of the viral ...

ALLERGIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA IN CHILDHOOD – NATURAL HISTORY, THE ROLE OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION [PDF]
The inflammatory response in the airways of patients with asthma involves the interaction between the respiratory epithelium, the innate immune system and the adaptive immunity, which initiates and maintains the chronic inflammatory response ...

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

The Development of Antimicrobial α‐AApeptides that Suppress Proinflammatory Immune Responses [PDF]
AbstractHerein we describe the development of a new class of antimicrobial and anti‐inflammatory peptidomimetics: cyclic lipo‐α‐AApeptides. They have potent and broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity against a range of clinically relevant pathogens, including both multidrug‐resistant Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria.

This study integrates publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify molecular signatures associated with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing a combination of multiple cohorts with bioinformatics approaches, we reveal biological pathways and immune‐related features that may improve ...

The Role of Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in High‐Altitude Headache: A Prospective Field Study
ABSTRACT Objective High‐altitude headache (HAH) is a common neurological condition associated with rapid ascent to high altitude. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HAH remain incompletely understood. Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide implicated in migraine pathophysiology, may play a key role in the pathophysiology of ...

Analysis of proinflammatory cytokine responses in Takayasu arteritis
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the expression of proinflammatory cytokines under long-term T helper (Th) 17 cell inducing conditions in Takayasu arteritis (TAK), a granulomatous vasculitis with adaptive immune responses. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between May 2014 and April 2017.

Chemical Synthesis and Proinflammatory Responses of Monophosphoryl Lipid A Adjuvant Candidates [PDF]
AbstractLipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are structural components of the outer‐surface membrane of Gram‐negative bacteria, trigger innate immune responses through activation of Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). Such responses may be exploited for the development of adjuvants and in particular monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) obtained by controlled hydrolysis ...

Amplifying the innate immune response : cell-cell propagation of proinflammatory signals during bacterial infection [PDF]
The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri uses multiple secreted effector proteins to downregulate interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in infected epithelial cells. Nevertheless, massive IL-8 secretion is observed in shigellosis. In this thesis, a novel
