Manganese and Microbial Pathogenesis: Sequestration by the Mammalian Immune System and Utilization by Microorganisms by Brophy, Megan Brunjes, Nolan, Elizabeth Marie

“…The human innate immune system represents the first line of defense against pathogenic microbes and employs a range of chemical artillery to combat these invaders. One important mechanism of innate immunity is the sequestration of metal ions that are essential nutrients. …”

Defensins, lectins, mucins, and secretory immunoglobulin A: microbe-binding biomolecules that contribute to mucosal immunity in the human gut by Chairatana, Phoom, Nolan, Elizabeth Marie

“…In the intestine, the mucosal immune system plays essential roles in maintaining homeostasis between the host and microorganisms, and protecting the host from pathogenic invaders. Epithelial cells produce and release a variety of biomolecules into the mucosa and lumen that contribute to immunity. …”

Negative Self-Regulation of TLR9 Signaling by Its N-Terminal Proteolytic Cleavage Product by Ploegh, Hidde, Lee, Sungwook, Kang, Dongju, Ra, Eun A., Lee, Taeyun A., Park, Boyoun

“…TLR signaling is essential to innate immunity against microbial invaders and must be tightly controlled. We have previously shown that TLR9 undergoes proteolytic cleavage processing by lysosomal proteases to generate two distinct fragments. …”

Orthogonal Dietary Niche Enables Reversible Engraftment of a Gut Bacterial Commensal by Kearney, Sean M, Gibbons, Sean Michael, Erdman, Susan E, Alm, Eric J

“…We observe a diet-dependent loss in seaweed responsiveness of B. plebeius in the long term and show the potential for IgA-mediated control of putative invaders by the immune system. These results point to the potential for diet-based intervention as a means to introduce target organisms, but also indicate potential modes for failure of this strategy in the long term.…”

Direct activation of a bacterial innate immune system by a viral capsid protein by Zhang, Tong, Tamman, Hedvig, Coppieters ’t Wallant, Kyo, Kurata, Tatsuaki, LeRoux, Michele, Srikant, Sriram, Brodiazhenko, Tetiana, Cepauskas, Albinas, Talavera, Ariel, Martens, Chloe, Atkinson, Gemma C, Hauryliuk, Vasili, Garcia-Pino, Abel, Laub, Michael T

“…Similar to how eukaryotic innate immune systems sense foreign invaders through pathogen-associated molecular patterns<jats:sup>4</jats:sup> (PAMPs), many bacterial immune systems that respond to bacteriophage infection require phage-specific triggers to be activated. …”

A novel jamming phase diagram links tumor invasion to non-equilibrium phase separation by Kang, Wenying, Ferruzzi, Jacopo, Spatarelu, Catalina-Paula, Han, Yu Long, Sharma, Yasha, Koehler, Stephan A, Mitchel, Jennifer A, Khan, Adil, Butler, James P, Roblyer, Darren, Zaman, Muhammad H, Park, Jin-Ah, Guo, Ming, Chen, Zi, Pegoraro, Adrian F, Fredberg, Jeffrey J

“…It is well established that the early malignant tumor invades surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) in a manner that depends upon material properties of constituent cells, surrounding ECM, and their interactions. …”

Energy Partitioning and Attenuation of Guided Waves in a Radially Layered Borehole by Burns, D. R., Cheng, C. H., Toksoz, M. N.

The Study of Wave Propagation in a Borehole Using the Finite Difference Method by Pardo-Casas, Federico, Cheng, C. B., Stephen, Ralph A.

“…Such an investigation shows us the importance of the length of the logging tool to be able to "see" past the damaged and invaded zone, and thus enables us to measure the true formation properties, as well as to estimate the depth of the damaged or invaded zone.…”
