Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-18 up-regulates amino acid transporters and facilitates amino acid–induced mTORC1 activation in natural killer cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL-18 is a potent cytokine that can enhance the expression of the nutrient transporter CD98/LAT1 for amino acids independently of the mTORC1 pathway and thereby induce a dramatic metabolic change associated with increased proliferation of NK cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Prospective Effect of Allopurinol on the Oxidative Stress Index and Endothelial Dysfunction in Covid-19

TL;DR: In this article , the potential protective effects of allopurinol on the biomarkers of OS and ED in patients with severe Covid-19 were investigated in a single-center cohort study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural Killer Cell-Derived IL-10 Prevents Liver Damage During Sustained Murine Cytomegalovirus Infection.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NK cell-derived IL-10 regulates T cell activation, prevents liver damage, and allows for better disease outcome, which can be critical in regulating the immune response during early phases of infection and therefore protecting the host from excessive immunopathology.
Journal Article

Reactive oxygen species modulate immune cell effector function

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that, upon stimulation of NK cells, ROS accumulate and provide positive signaling that leads to the upregulation of NK cell effector functions, and this finding will elucidate a link between the levels of ROS and immune cell proliferation during viral infection and carcinogenesis.
