CRISPR-DBA: a deep learning framework for uncertainty quantification of CRISPR off-target activities by Cao, X, Minary, P

Sustained exposure to Helicobacter pylori induces immune tolerance by desensitizing TLR6 by Zhang, Xiulin, He, Yang, Zhang, Xiaolu, Fu, Bo, Song, Zidai, Wang, Liang, Fu, Rui, Lu, Xuancheng, Xing, Jin, Lv, Jianyi, Guo, Meng, Huo, Xueyun, Liu, Xin, Lu, Jing, Du, Xiaoyan

“…The gastric epithelium acts as the first line of defense against H. pylori, with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in gastric epithelial cells being sensitive to H. pylori components and subsequently activating the innate immune system. However, the mechanism of immune tolerance induced by H. pylori through the TLR signalling pathway has not been fully elucidated. …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…</p> <p>Subsequently, Eomes expression was characterised in peripheral blood cell populations, with the highest expression detected in natural killer cells and effector/memory T cell subsets, including MAIT cells, an innate-like lymphocyte population. To investigate potential genotype dependent changes in Eomes expression and the effect on downstream pathways, studies were performed using samples from healthy donors prospectively genotyped for the two MS associated loci. …”

Key transcriptional regulators of neutrophil function in inflammation by Ai, Z

“…<p>Neutrophils are important effector cells in innate immunity, possessing a wide range of effector functions, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, phagocytosis and chemotaxis. …”

Evolution of an extracellular pathogen recognition mechanism in Solanaceae by Kourelis, J

Wolbachia-mosquito interactions and engineered female-specific lethality for Aedes-arbovirus control by Molloy, JC

“…In Chapter 2, I examine in <em>Ae. albopictus</em> the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced immune activation plays a role, but neither ROS nor innate immune pathways were upregulated. In Chapter 3, an untargeted analysis of the <em>Ae. albopictus</em> lipidome showed it is significantly altered by <em>Wolbachia</em> infection, highlighting sphingolipids as candidates for future investigations into DENV-refractoriness.…”

Assessment of phagocytosis and cytokine secretions by monocytes in the presence of plasmodium falciparum by Xuan, Keh Min
