Human interferon-β (IFN-β), a type I IFN, is critical for effective innate immunity and is also an approved disease-modifying therapeutic. While genetic variations in several components of the type I ...

Inflammation induces interchromosomal DNA interactions that bring parent genes into close proximity, facilitating the formation of chimeric mRNAs that encode physiologically relevant, functional prote...

Myddosomes, in which MyD88 forms barrel-like scaffold structures for effector protein recruitment and activation, contain proteins that act at all stages and regulate all effector responses ...

imageimageDNGR-1 (CLEC9A) is a C-type lectin receptor of type-1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) with an important role in cross-presentation of dead cell antigens. This study explores how it equips cDC1s with the ability to cross-present such ...

Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the production of bioactive interleukin (IL)-1β fostering atherosclerosis. The current dogma is that NLRP3 must be first primed by microbial stimuli, know...

The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family proteins are attractive drug targets but tools to monitor their activation are lacking. Now, STAT biosensors have been developed for ...

Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are self-derived molecules released during tissue damage that influence immune responses. Phospholipids, essential to cell membranes and lung surfactants, ...
