The non-inflammatory defense of the lungs consists of the primary non-inflammatory non-specific defense mechanisms such as the mucociliary escalator,coughing,alveolar macrophages,defensinsand surfactant, and the secondary non-inflammatory specific defense mechanisms such as s-IgA. The action of these de...

It is well established that cells have evolved effective defense mechanisms against cellular transformation. Ever since it became clear that about 50% of human cancers contain mutations in p53, this gene has been intensively studied as a cellular defense against transformation. The p53 transcriptional ...
The signaling pathways governing autophagy remain to be fully delineated, but some critical points have been uncovered: (1) the starvation-initiated signaling results in the inhibition of Tor, which, by still unknown downstream mechanisms, induces autophagy; and (2) the progression of autophagy is ...
Further research to delve deeper into the intricate molecular mechanisms will be crucial for unraveling this aspect. When examining the impact of individual metabolites on various pathogens (Figure 8C and D), distinct roles against different pathogens were observed. This divergence could stem from the...
Joint Logistic Support Force (JLSF).The JLSF’s primary goal is to provide joint logistics support to the PLA’s strategic and campaign-level operations, such as a Taiwan contingency, by conducting C2 of joint logistics, delivering materiel, and overseeing various support mechanisms. The JLSF ...
However, the molecular mechanisms through which these peptides and other agents of the immune response could help synergize their antimicrobial effects at cell membranes remain elusive. As the first line of defense against an infection or injury, the innate immune response is mediated by a variety ...
