After a priming dose of bacteria, some insects exhibit a prolonged activation of the immune response that nonspecifically protects against subsequent challenges. In some cases, microbial challenge of mothers results in the production of more resistant offspring. In addition to these two examples of ...

trisomic cells. Importantly, activation of both the innate immune response and autophagy occurs also in primary trisomic embryonic fibroblasts, independent of the identity of the additional chromosome. Our research identifies the cGAS-STING pathway as an upstream regulator responsible for activation of aut...
In this, OSEs allow the host's immune system to identify biological waste and discriminate viable from dying cells. A number of OSEs derived from phospholipid peroxidation have been identified, and we will subsequently discuss the best studied examples. 3.1. Phosphocholine (PC) One of the best...
The types and mechanisms of the innate immune system are tabulated below with examples: Innate ImmunityExamples Physical/Anatomical Barriers Skin, Mucous membrane, cilia, eyelashes, body hair Skin acts as a physical barrier and prevents the entry of microbes.Cilia present in different structures of ...
Across these examples, an important idea is the possibility to co-opt innate immune mechanisms to enhance immunity during infection and cancer. During inflammatory or autoimmune disease, some of these same innate immune mechanisms can be manipulated in different ways to control excess inflammation by ...
J.S.T.There are broadly two types of systems biology approaches. I refer to them as ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’. The premise of the first is that there is much that we do not yet know about a biological process like the innate immune response to COVID-19; therefore, we and man...
NETs are abundant in vivo in experimental dysentery and spontaneous human appendicitis, two examples of acute inflammation. NETs appear to be a form of innate response that binds microorganisms, prevents them from spreading, and ensures a high local concentration of antimicrobial agents to degrade ...
In short, the development of a robust adaptive immune response to an invading virus is intimately linked to the early innate response to infection. Since the last edition of this book, it has become apparent that most, if not all, viruses of humans have evolved ways to circumvent the innate...
It is now clear that intercellular innate immune signalling is not simply limited to the transfer of cytokines, chemokines and cell-to-cell contact. In this review, we have described multiple examples by which the host is able to mediate the activation of bystander immunity via the intercellular...
