The immunological synapse: a cause or consequence of T-cell receptor triggering?

Immunology, 2011
The immunological synapse forms as a result of the tight apposition of a T cell with an antigen-presenting cell (APC) and it is the site where the T-cell receptor (TCR) is triggered by its antigen ligand, the peptide-MHC complex present in the APC membrane. The immunological synapse was initially characterized in the T-cell membrane as three concentric

Activation of the innate immune receptor Dectin-1 upon formation of a 'phagocytic synapse'. [PDF]

, 2011
Innate immune cells must be able to distinguish between direct binding to microbes and detection of components shed from the surface of microbes located at a distance. Dectin-1 (also known as CLEC7A) is a pattern-recognition receptor expressed by myeloid

Short peptide perturbs spermatogenesis via immune microenvironment dysregulation and mitochondrial imbalance

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In the blood–testis barrier, occludin is crucial for tight junctions. This study demonstrates that occludin‐targeting short peptides disrupt junction integrity, inducing immune cell infiltration, tumor necrosis factor‐α/interleukin‐6 secretion and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately triggering apoptosis.

Discontinuation of Immunotherapy in Patients With Relapsing Myelitis Without AQP4/MOG Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses the outcomes of immunotherapy discontinuation in patients with relapsing seronegative idiopathic myelitis (SIM), a condition that remains uninvestigated due to its rarity. We reviewed records from 77 patients with relapsing SIM at the National Cancer Center of Korea, focusing on 11 who discontinued treatment after a median ...

Containment of aerogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in mice does not require MyD88 adaptor function for TLR2, -4 and -9.

, 2008
The role of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and MyD88 for immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains controversial. To address the impact of TLR-mediated pathogen recognition and MyD88-dependent signaling events on anti ...

A PANoptosis‐Based Signature for Survival and Immune Predication in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective PANoptosis is a concept of total cell death characterized by pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. We aimed to explore the clinical significance of PANoptosis‐related genes (PARGs) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Methods Expression profiles of GBM were downloaded from the XENA database as a training dataset to construct a ...
