Single-cell analysis of the interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and macrophages

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a highly effective pathogen infecting nearly a third of the world's population. An M. tuberculosis infection starts when droplets containing bacteria enter an individual's lungs. The first host cells to contact the bacteria ar ...

Human alveolar lining fl uid from the elderly promotes Mycobacterium tuberculosis intracellular growth and translocation into the cytosol of alveolar epithelial cells

Vivek Vijay Thacker, Richa Mishra

The elderly population is highly susceptible to developing respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis, a devastating disease caused by the airborne pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tb ) that kills one person every 18 seconds. Once M.tb reaches the ...

The CRL5-SPSB3 ubiquitin ligase targets nuclear cGAS for degradation

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Chong Liu, Pauline Ambre Melenec, Pengbiao Xu, Lingyun Li, Ying Liu

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) senses aberrant DNA during infection, cancer and inflammatory disease, and initiates potent innate immune responses through the synthesis of 2 ' 3 '-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP)1-7. The indiscriminate activity of cGAS towards DNA d ...

Nanoscale organization of the endogenous ASC speck

Suliana Manley, Christian Sieben

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a central component of the innate immune system. Its activation leads to for-mation of the ASC speck, a supramolecular assembly of the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC. Different models, based on ASC overexpression, have been prop ...

Caspase-9-mediated cleavage of vimentin attenuates the aggressiveness of leukemic NB4 cells

Cyrus Kazemiraad, Saeed Mohammadi

Vimentin is a main type 3 intermediate filament protein. It seems that abnormal expression of vimentin is contributed to the appearance of the aggressive feature of cancer cells. So that it has been reported that malignancy and epithelial-mesenchymal trans ...

Type I IFNs link skin-associated dysbiotic commensal bacteria to pathogenic inflammation and angiogenesis in rosacea

Alessio Mylonas, Yichen Wang, Jiaqi Chen

Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a fluctuating course of excessive inflammation and apparent neovascularization. Microbial dysbiosis with a high density of Bacillus oleronius and increased activity of kallikrein 5, which cleaves c ...

Inborn errors of type I interferon immunity in patients with symptomatic acute hepatitis E

Jacques Fellay

Background and Aims:The clinical spectrum of human infection by HEV ranges from asymptomatic to severe acute hepatitis. Furthermore, HEV can cause diverse neurological manifestations, especially Parsonage-Turner syndrome. Here, we used a large-scale human ...

Prevention of the foreign body response to implantable medical devices by inflammasome inhibition

Stéphanie Lacour

Fibrotic scarring secondary to the foreign body reaction (FBR) generates a physical barrier obstructing the functional interaction of implantable medical devices with the host tissue. The mechanistic basis of the FBR is poorly understood, restricting the c ...

Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mechanosensing through label-free imaging of type IV pili

Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà

Bacteria are ubiquitously found in all sorts of environment. They're found in the ocean, soil, or even in our guts or on our skin. Independently of their niche, they can transition from a planktonic state were they freely swim in an aqueous environment to ...

A Manganese Phosphate Nanocluster Activates the cGAS‐STING Pathway for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Yuqing Xie, Min Gao, Armand Kurum, Kewen Lei, Yu Zhao, Xiaomeng Hu, Simon Bart M. Van Herck

Targeting the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway with cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), the natural STING agonists, is a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer. However, the clinical application of natural CDNs as therapeutics is greatly hi ...
