Keratinocytes from human skin respond as typical immune cells after the stimulation with _Trichophyton rubrum_ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
_Trichophyton rubrum_ is the main agent causing dermatophytosis (1). Keratinocytes are considered to be the first physical barrier of defense against pathogens (2). But not only a physical barrier.

TLR1-induced chemokine production is critical for mucosal immunity against Yersinia enterocolitica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Our gastrointestinal tract is a portal of entry for a number of bacteria and viruses. Thus, this tissue must develop ways to induce antigen-specific T cell and antibody responses quickly.

Enhanced Infection Resistance and Regenerative Healing of Titanium Implants via Peptide‐Loaded Biodegradable Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Assessment of laboratory indicators of inflammatory, infection and indicators of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

open access: yesНаучно-практическая ревматология
The aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between the activity of inflammation, the infectious component, platelet function and dyslipidemia, in the development of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Skin microbiota: a source of disease or defence?

open access: yes, 2008
Microbes found on the skin are usually regarded as pathogens, potential pathogens or innocuous symbiotic organisms. Advances in microbiology and immunology are revising our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of microbial virulence and the specific

G2A Attenuates Propionibacterium acnes Induction of Inflammatory Cytokines in Human Monocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background:Acne vulgaris is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit characterized by increased sebum production, hyperkeratinization, and immune responses to Propionibacterium acnes (PA).

MiR-344b-1-3p targets TLR2 and negatively regulates TLR2 signaling pathway

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 2017
COPD is an abnormal inflammatory response characterized by decreased expression of TLR2 in patients, which is suggested to induce invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the pathogenesis of human respiratory system disorders.

rWTC‐MBTA Vaccine, Alone and Enhanced with Anti‐PD1, Elicits Immune Responses against CNS and Peripheral B‐Cell Lymphoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An autologous whole‐tumor‐cell vaccine (rWTC‐MBTA) is evaluated in murine CNS lymphoma. Subcutaneous vaccination activates dendritic cells, broadens T‐cell priming, and drives lymphocyte trafficking to brain tumors, producing durable tumor control. Longitudinal bioluminescence and adoptive‐transfer assays verify CNS engagement. Combination with anti‐PD‐

Association of TLR2 Arg753Gln gene polymorphism with its expression level in nonagenarians with frailty

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология
TLR2 is an exceptional pattern-recognizing receptor because of its ability to heterodimerise with different types of TLRs, which allows it to recognize a wide range of molecular structures on the surface of pathogens.

Divergent roles of amino acid residues inside and outside the BB loop affect human Toll-like receptor (TLR)2/2, TLR2/1 and TLR2/6 responsiveness. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
TLR2 specifically recognizes a wide range of ligands by homodimerizing or heterodimerizing with TLR1 or TLR6. However, the molecular basis of the specific signalling transduction induced by TLR2 homodimerization or heterodimerization with TLR1 or TLR6 is
