Neuronal Activity–Induced Gadd45b Promotes Epigenetic DNA Demethylation and Adult Neurogenesis

TL;DR: Mechanistically, Gadd45b is required for activity-induced DNA demethylation of specific promoters and expression of corresponding genes critical for adult neurogenesis, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor and fibroblast growth factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptor 3 promotes cross-priming to virus-infected cells

TL;DR: It is shown that murine CD8α+ dendritic cells are activated by double-stranded (ds)RNA present in virally infected cells but absent from uninfected cells, which indicates that TLR3 may have evolved to permit cross-priming of CTLs against viruses that do not directly infect dendedritic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical role for NALP3/CIAS1/cryopyrin in innate and adaptive immunity through its regulation of caspase-1

TL;DR: It is shown that ASC- and NALP3-deficient mice also demonstrate an impaired contact hypersensitivity response to the hapten trinitrophenylchloride, suggesting that NALp3 plays a specific role in the caspase-1 activation pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

RICK/Rip2/CARDIAK mediates signalling for receptors of the innate and adaptive immune systems

TL;DR: Rip2 is therefore a signal transducer and integrator of signals for both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Instruction of Distinct CD4 T Helper Cell Fates by Different Notch Ligands on Antigen-Presenting Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Jagged constitutes an instructive signal for Th2 differentiation, which is independent of IL4/STAT6, and induced by APC is abrogated in T cells lacking the Notch effector RBPJkappa.
