Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocytes are active players in cerebral innate immunity

TL;DR: Evidence is emerging that the most abundant glial cell population of the CNS, the astrocyte, participates in the local innate immune response triggered by a variety of insults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impairment of mycobacterial immunity in human interleukin-12 receptor deficiency

TL;DR: Interleukin-12 (IL-12) receptor deficiency was found in otherwise healthy individuals with mycobacterial infections, and mature granulomas were seen, surrounded by T cells and centered with epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells, yet reduced IFN-gamma concentrations were found to be secreted by activated natural killer and T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA profiling of multiple sclerosis lesions identifies modulators of the regulatory protein CD47

TL;DR: It is suggested that microRNA dysregulated in multiple sclerosis lesions reduce CD47 in brain resident cells, releasing macrophages from inhibitory control, thereby promoting phagocytosis of myelin and have broad implications for microRNA-regulated macrophage activation in inflammatory diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines in multiple sclerosis: CXCL12 and CXCL13 up-regulation is differentially linked to CNS immune cell recruitment.

TL;DR: The strong linkage of CXCL13 to immune cells and immunoglobulin levels in CSF suggests that this is one of the factors that attract and maintain B and T cells in inflamed CNS lesions.
