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

Ibrutinib Unmasks Critical Role of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase in Primary CNS Lymphoma. [PDF]
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) links the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and Toll-like receptors with NF-κB. The role of BTK in primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) is unknown.

Nous aliats contra la Tuberculosi [PDF]
En el segle XXI la tuberculosi continua sent causa d'un important nombre de defuncions cada any. Existeixen vacunes, però la eficàcia que ofereixen no es molt elevada.

Lung cancer and Toll-like receptors. [PDF]
Lung carcinoma is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is a non-immunogenic cancer, resistant to immune surveillance. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) connect the innate to the adaptive immune system.

Lack of an Antibacterial Response Defect in Drosophila Toll-9 Mutant [PDF]
Toll and Toll-like receptors represent families of receptors involved in mediating innate immunity response in insects and mammals. Although Drosophila proteome contains multiple Toll paralogs, Toll-1 is, so far, the only receptor to which an immune role

Morphine activates neuroinflammation in a manner parallel to endotoxin [PDF]
Opioids create a neuroinflammatory response within the CNS, compromising opioid-induced analgesia and contributing to various unwanted actions. How this occurs is unknown but has been assumed to be via classic opioid receptors.

Gastrointestinal neuromuscular apparatus: An underestimated target of gut microbiota [PDF]
Over the last few years, the importance of the resident intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of several gastro- intestinal diseases has been largely investigated.

The Efficacy of Two Specific Toll-Like Receptor 4 Antagonists (G2013 & M2000) In Clinical Inflammatory Disease [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are receptors of the innate immune system that detect pathogen- associated molecular patterns and endogenous “danger” molecules. Among the family, the fundamental role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR 4) has been underscored in the

Toll-Like Receptors in Wound Healing: Location, Accessibility, and Timing [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are considered to be the first responders in the defense against invading pathogens. TLR engagement by ligands triggers inflammatory responses in injury and trauma, and thus can impair or contribute to the healing process ...
