TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a multiplex system for simultaneous detection of 17 cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, IL 7, IL 8, IL 9, IL 10, IL 11, IL 12, IL 13, interferon-γ, MCP-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and tumour necrosis factor-α).

TL;DR: The findings of enhanced resistance to P. aeruginosa and resistance to endotoxin-induced lethal shock suggest that the counteraction or neutralization of MIF may serve as an adjunct therapy in sepsis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heme, but not its analogs/precursors, induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion by macrophages dependently on MyD88, TLR4, and CD14, and these findings support the concept that the broad ligand specificity ofTLR4 and the different activation profiles might in part reside in its ability to recognize different ligands in different binding sites.

TL;DR: This study reviews the classic infections that are controlled by ROS and the cases in which ROS appear as promoters of infection, challenging the paradigm, and discusses the possible mechanisms by which ROS could promote particular infections.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Nlrp3 inflammasome is activated in response to Leishmania infection and is important for the restriction of parasite replication both in macrophages and in vivo as demonstrated through the infection of inflammaome-deficient mice with Leishmaniasis.
