Distant sequence similarity between hepcidin and the novel coronavirus spike glycoprotein: a potential hint at the possibility of local iron dysregulation in COVID-19 [PDF]
The spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has attracted attention for its vaccine potential and binding capacity to host cell surface receptors. Much of this research focus has centered on the ectodomain of the spike protein. The ectodomain is anchored to a transmembrane region, followed by a cytoplasmic tail.

Evolution of Class I cytokine receptors
Background The Class I cytokine receptors have a wide range of actions, including a major role in the development and function of immune and blood cells. However, the evolution of the genes encoding them remains poorly understood. To address this we have

Cytokine Receptor Endocytosis: New Kinase Activity-Dependent and -Independent Roles of PI3K
Type I and II cytokine receptors are cell surface sensors that bind cytokines in the extracellular environment and initiate intracellular signaling to control processes such as hematopoiesis, immune function, and cellular growth and development.

Background Cytokine-induced killer cells are ex vivo-expanded cells with potent antitumor activity. The infusion of cytokine-induced killer cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia relapsing after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant is ...

Control of cytokine production by immune cells is pivotal for counteracting infections via orchestration of local and systemic inflammation. Although their contribution has long been underexposed, it has recently become clear that human Fc gamma ...

Metareview-informed Explainable Cytokine Storm Detection during CAR-T cell Therapy [PDF]
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), also known as cytokine storm, is one of the most consequential adverse effects of chimeric antigen receptor therapies that have shown promising results in cancer treatment. When emerging, CRS could be identified by the analysis of specific cytokine and chemokine profiles that tend to exhibit similarities across patients.

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Differences in innate cytokine responses between European and African children. [PDF]
Although differences in immunological responses between populations have been found in terms of vaccine efficacy, immune responses to infections and prevalence of chronic inflammatory diseases, the mechanisms responsible for these differences are not ...

Perspective: Daniela Novick, cytokines and their receptors
This Perspective highlights the work of Dr. Daniela Novick in the field of cytokine biology. Using affinity chromatography to characterize cytokine-binding proteins, she identified soluble forms of the receptors as well as binding proteins for several ...
