Filarial Lymphedema Is Characterized by Antigen- Specific Th1 and Th17 Proinflammatory Responses and a Lack of Regulatory T Cells [PDF]
Background: Lymphatic filariasis can be associated with development of serious pathology in the form of lymphedema, hydrocele, and elephantiasis in a subset of infected patients. Methods and Findings: To elucidate the role of CD4+ T cell subsets in the

Pattern recognition receptors as potential therapeutic targets in inflammatory rheumatic disease [PDF]
The pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system are part of the first line of defence against pathogens. However, they also have the ability to respond to danger signals that are frequently elevated during tissue damage and at sites of ...

Leptospirosis renal disease: Understanding the initiation by Toll-like receptors [PDF]
Leptospirosis is a prevalent infectious disease affecting both humans and animals worldwide. This infection is associated with occupational or recreational exposure to animals as well as contact with leptospires, particularly in flood-prone areas ...

Reformulating Pro-Oxidant Microglia in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are central events. Recent genome-wide transcriptomic analyses of microglial cells under different disease conditions have uncovered a new subpopulation named ...

NF-{kappa}B-dependent induction of microRNA miR-146, an inhibitor targeted to signaling proteins of innate immune responses [PDF]
Activation of mammalian innate and acquired immune responses must be tightly regulated by elaborate mechanisms to control their onset and termination. MicroRNAs have been implicated as negative regulators controlling diverse biological processes at the ...

Role of Toll-like receptors in development of postpartum endometritis [PDF]
The aim of the study was to establish the association between expression of TLR1 (ligands - triacyl lipopeptides), TLR2 (ligands - lipopeptides, lipoteichoic acid, zymosan), and TLR 5 (ligand - flagellin) of cervical epithelial cells in vivo and ...
