Journal ArticleDOI

SOCS3 negatively regulates IL-6 signaling in vivo.

TL;DR: It is shown that Socs3 deficiency results in prolonged activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and STAT3 after IL-6 stimulation but normal activation of STAT1 after stimulation with interferon-γ (IFN-γ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of host resistance: Toll-like receptor signaling and immunity at large

TL;DR: The positional cloning of a spontaneous mutation that caused lipopolysaccharide resistance and susceptibility to Gram-negative infection led directly to the understanding that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are essential sensors of microbial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

SOCS regulation of the JAK/STAT signalling pathway

TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanics of SOCS action and the complexities of the mouse models that have underpinned the current understanding of SOCs biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

RIPK3 promotes cell death and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the absence of MLKL

TL;DR: It is shown that following LPS treatment, or LPS-induced necroptosis, the TLR adaptor protein TRIF and inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs: X-linked IAP, cellular IAP1 and IAP2) regulate RIPK3 and MLKL ubiquitylation, and RIPK 3 can promote NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β inflammatory responses independent ofMLKL and necroPTotic cell death.
