Immune correlates of early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis among tuberculosis household contacts in Indonesia by Setiabudiawan, TP, Apriani, L, Verrall, AJ, Utami, F, Schneider, M, Indrati, AR, Halim, PP, Kaplonek, P, Malca, H, Lee, JS, Moorlag, SJCFM, de Bree, LCJ, Mourits, VP, Joosten, LAB, Netea, MG, Alisjahbana, B, McNamara, RP, Alter, G, van Laarhoven, A, Ussher, JE, Sharples, K, Koeken, VACM, Hill, PC, van Crevel, R

“…In heavily exposed Indonesian tuberculosis household contacts (n = 1347), a persistently IGRA negative status was associated with presence of a BCG scar, and - especially among those with a BCG scar - with altered innate immune cells dynamics, higher heterologous (Escherichia coli-induced) proinflammatory cytokine production, and higher inflammatory proteins in the IGRA mitogen tube. …”

Effect of cooking method on the physicochemical properties of tomatoes by Arnida Hani Teh, Teo, Wan Ting

CD1d‐mediated lipid presentation by CD11c+ cells regulates intestinal homeostasis by Sáez de Guinoa, Julia, Jimeno, Rebeca, Gaya, Mauro, Kipling, David, Garzón, María J., Dunn‐Walters, Deborah, Ubeda, Carles, Barral, Patricia

“…These changes in intestinal homeostasis require CD1d expression on DC/macrophage populations as mice with conditional deletion of CD1d on CD11c+ cells exhibit dysbiosis and altered immune homeostasis. These results unveil the importance of CD11c+ cells in controlling lipid‐dependent immunity in the intestinal compartment and reveal an NKT cell–DC crosstalk as a key mechanism for the regulation of gut homeostasis.…”

Quorum sensing signal autoinducer-2 promotes hydrogen peroxide degradation in water by Gram-positive bacteria by Han, Shuo, Qin, Mengyuan, Wang, Yuqi, Gao, Chao, Niu, Wenfang, Han, Jingjing, Wang, Hailei, Li, Yi

“…We further sought to understand the key mechanism underlying the promotion effect of AI-2 on hydrogen peroxide degradation is that, AI-2 contributed to the resistance of strain Y35 to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide, and altered membrane permeability of strain Y35 that allowed more hydrogen peroxide to enter bacterial cells and be degraded. …”
