Progression of Notch signaling regulation of B cells under radiation exposure
With the continuous development of nuclear technology, the radiation exposure caused by radiation therapy is a serious health hazard. It is of great significance to further develop effective radiation countermeasures. B cells easily succumb to irradiat…
Evolutionarily conserved mechanisms regulating stress-induced neutrophil redistribution in fish
IntroductionStress may pose a serious challenge to immune homeostasis. Stress however also may prepare the immune system for challenges such as wounding or infection, which are likely to happen during a fight or flight stress response.MethodsIn common …
ROS signaling in innate immunity via oxidative protein modifications
The innate immune response represents the first-line of defense against invading pathogens. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) have been implicated in various aspects of innate immune function, which involves respiratory …
Efbalropendekin Alfa enhances human natural killer cell cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines in vitro
IL-15 has shown preclinical activity by enhancing the functional maturation of natural killer (NK) cells. Clinical evaluation of the potential anticancer activity of most cytokines, including IL-15, has been limited by low tolerability and rapid in viv…
Decidual leukocytes respond to African lineage Zika virus infection with mild anti-inflammatory changes during acute infection in rhesus macaques
Zika virus (ZIKV) can be vertically transmitted during pregnancy resulting in a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The decidua is commonly found to be infected by ZIKV, yet the acute immune response to infection remains understudied in vivo. We hypot…
cGAS: action in the nucleus
As a canonical cytoplasmic DNA sensor, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) plays a key role in innate immunity. In recent years, a growing number of studies have shown that cGAS can also be located in the nucleus and plays new functions such as regulating D…
Crosstalk between ubiquitin ligases and ncRNAs drives cardiovascular disease progression
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are multifactorial chronic diseases and have the highest rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in posttranslational modification and quality control of prot…
Health-related quality of life in patients with inborn errors of immunity: a bibliometric analysis
BackgroundInborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) are characterized by a heightened susceptibility to infections, allergies, and various other health complications. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with IEI is a critical area of research that…
