(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Yale University have developed synthetic molecules capable of enhancing the body’s immune response to HIV and HIV-infected cells, as well as to prostate cancer cells. Their findings, published online in theJournal of the American Chemical Society, could lead to ...
Signal transducing molecules are the intracellular messengers necessary for generating the immune response. Immune responses are driven by stimulation of immune cells from pathogens, antigens, cytokines, and factors affecting growth or survival. These stimuli trigger responses via cellular receptors. Signals...
as long as it can generate an immune response. Then, specific antibodies are developed against the cellular component or cell type that you are trying to inhibit (i.e. rabbit antivirus
As mentioned, combinations of ECM molecules play an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and migration [32,33] and, although functional aspects of ECM molecules have not been studied in detail in the endocrine pancreas, it is likely that cellular functions and the integrity of the...
In the TME, tumor immune surveillance is an effective strategy to recognize and eliminate emerging tumor cells. The basic structure and function of MHC-I determines that it is a key initiation step of the tumor immune response. This strategy is based on specific antigen presentation within tumor...
Proteins can often figure in allergies and allergic reactions to certain foods. This is because the structure of each form of protein is slightly different, and some may trigger a response from the immune system while others are perfectly safe. Many people are allergic to casein, the protein in...
Several of these genes are part of the “microglial sensome”: microglia-enriched genes that are involved in sensing the brain’s environment27. Grn WT and Grn KO primary mouse microglia were plated in 384-well plates, lysed, and mixed with the 42 mRNA probes. After the RASL procedure and...

"When you look at a diseased cell (e.g. a cancer cell) and compare it to a normal cell, you can identify biomarkers—changes in the abundance of proteins or other biomolecule levels—in the diseased cell," Smolke said. Her research team has designed molecules that trigger cell death only...
