DOI: 10.1016/j.coviro.2021.09.010
Abstract: The ability to establish long term persistent infection is a feature of human papillomaviruses. The available evidence is that this ability is a consequence of a complex local immune milieu whereby innate immune receptors and… read more here.

The role of IL-6 in host defence against infections: immunobiology and clinical implications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Reviews Rheumatology"
DOI: 10.1038/nrrheum.2017.83
Abstract: IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine with broad-ranging effects within the integrated immune response. One of the roles of IL-6 is to support immunocompetence, defined as the ability of a host to respond to infections. Understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1042/bst20170108
Abstract: Chitinases and chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 18 of proteins. Chitinases are expressed in mammals and lower organisms, facilitate chitin degradation, and hence act as host-defence enzymes. Gene duplication and loss-of-function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsob.170040
Abstract: Neutrophils play important roles in innate immunity and are mainly dependent on various enzyme-containing granules to kill engulfed microorganisms. Zebrafish nephrosin (npsn) is specifically expressed in neutrophils; however, its function is largely unknown. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imm.13276
Abstract: In the face of ineffective vaccines, increasing antibiotic resistance and the decline in new antibacterial drugs in the pipeline, tuberculosis (TB) still remains pandemic. Exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which causes TB, results in either… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13372
Abstract: Host susceptibility to parasites can vary over space and time. Costs associated with the maintenance of host defence are thought to account for a portion of this variation. Specifically, trade‐offs wherein elevated defence is maintained… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mpp.13326
Abstract: Abstract Fungal effectors play a pivotal role in suppressing the host defence system, and their evolution is highly dynamic. By comparative sequence analysis of plant‐pathogenic fungi and Magnaporthe oryzae, we identified the small secreted C2H2… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biom8020029
Abstract: Biofilms are multicellular communities of bacteria that can adhere to virtually any surface. Bacterial biofilms are clinically relevant, as they are responsible for up to two-thirds of hospital acquired infections and contribute to chronic infections.… read more here.
