Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Endosomal TLR Inhibition by Antimalarial Drugs and Imidazoquinolines
TL;DR: It is concluded that the direct binding of inhibitors to nucleic acids mask their TLR-binding epitope and may explain the efficiency of those compounds in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-type lectin DC-SIGN: an adhesion, signalling and antigen-uptake molecule that guides dendritic cells in immunity.
TL;DR: Recent advances on a broad perspective concerning DC-SIGN structure, signalling and immune function are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol and its potential use in therapy of immune-mediated diseases.
Urban Švajger,Matjaž Jeras +1 more
TL;DR: There is very little evidence suggesting significant deleterious side effects of resveratrol, further highlighting its potential future use as a therapeutic agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
IFN-γ-induced increase in the mobility of MHC class II compartments in astrocytes depends on intermediate filaments
Nina Vardjan,Mateja Gabrijel,Maja Potokar,Urban Švajger,Marko Kreft,Matjaž Jeras,Yolanda de Pablo,Maryam Faiz,Milos Pekny,Robert Zorec +9 more
TL;DR: The IFN-γ-induced increase in the mobility of MHC class II compartments is IF-dependent, and such regulatory mechanisms may enable antigen-presenting reactive astrocytes to respond rapidly and in a controlled manner to CNS inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic cells treated with resveratrol during differentiation from monocytes gain substantial tolerogenic properties upon activation.
TL;DR: The results show that resveratrol induces DC‐associated tolerance, particularly when applied during DC differentiation, and provides new insights into the molecular and functional mechanisms of the tolerogenic effects that res veratrol exerts on DCs.
