Pattern recognition receptors and autophagy [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 The immune system senses exogenous threats or endogenous stress through specialized machinery known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors recognize conserved molecular structures and initiate downstream signaling pathways to control ...

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]
, 2012 Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...

An Inhibitory Role for Human CD96 Endodomain in T Cell Anti-Tumor Responses
Cells, 2023 Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy involves the inhibition of immune checkpoint regulators which reverses their limitation of T cell anti-tumor responses and results in long-lasting tumor regression. However, poor clinical response or tumor relapse

Killer instincts: natural killer cells as multifactorial cancer immunotherapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Natural killer (NK) cells integrate heterogeneous signals for activation and inhibition using germline-encoded receptors. These receptors are stochastically co-expressed, and their concurrent engagement and signaling can adjust the sensitivity of ...

The Immunology of Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized the treatment of cancer patients. The main focus of ICB has been on reinvigorating the adaptive immune response, namely, activating cytotoxic T cells. ICB has demonstrated only modest benefit against advanced breast cancer, as breast tumors typically establish an immune suppressive tumor ...

Balancing analgesia and immunity: revisiting the immune consequences of opioid therapy [PDF]
Exploration of ImmunologyOpioids remain central to managing moderate to severe pain, yet they also produce significant and often under-recognized effects on the immune system. In this narrative review, we synthesize evidence from 1994 to 2025 across preclinical, translational ...
