Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial peptides: general overview and clinical implications in human health and disease.

TL;DR: This review focuses on cathelicin and defensins, the most documented human AMPs, and discusses their antimicrobial activity and pleiotropic immunomodulating effects on inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and Humoral Mechanisms Involved in the Control of Tuberculosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of nonspecific inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines and chemokines induced by interaction of innate receptors expressed in macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diacylglycerol kinase ζ: at the crossroads of lipid signaling and protein complex organization.

TL;DR: The data suggest that DGKζ offers new opportunities for therapeutic manipulation of lipid metabolism, as well as demonstrating its subtle regulation and its strategic function in specific signaling and as part of adaptor protein complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral targeting of PDZ polarity proteins in the immune system as a potential evasion mechanism.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the viral PDZ‐dependent targeting of PDZ polarity proteins in these cells may alter the cellular fitness of the host to favor that of the virus, and occurs as a common and widespread mechanism for immune evasion by viruses and possibly other pathogens.
