Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-intrinsic lysosomal lipolysis is essential for alternative activation of macrophages

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the uptake of triacylglycerol substrates via the scavenger receptor CD36 and their subsequent lipolysis by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) was important for the engagement of elevated oxidative phosphorylation, enhanced spare respiratory capacity (SRC), prolonged survival and expression of genes that together define M2 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TREM2 Maintains Microglial Metabolic Fitness in Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: Dietary cyclocreatine tempered autophagy, restored microglial clustering around plaques, and decreased plaque-adjacent neuronal dystrophy in TREM2-deficient mice with amyloid-β pathology, finding that TREM1 enables microglia responses during AD by sustaining cellular energetic and biosynthetic metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent chlamydiae: from cell culture to a paradigm for chlamydial pathogenesis.

TL;DR: In vitro studies of chlamydial persistence are evaluated and model systems associated with altered growth suggest an innate flexibility in the developmental cycle of Chlamydiae.

Cell-intrinsic lysosomal lipolysis is essential for macrophage alternative activation

TL;DR: It is found that the uptake of triacylglycerol substrates via the scavenger receptor CD36 and their subsequent lipolysis by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) was important for the engagement of elevated oxidative phosphorylation, enhanced spare respiratory capacity (SRC), prolonged survival and expression of genes that together define M2 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A secreted serine-threonine kinase determines virulence in the eukaryotic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii.

TL;DR: Genetic mapping revealed two closely adjacent quantitative trait loci on parasite chromosome VIIa that control the extreme virulence of the type I lineage and identified the candidate virulence gene ROP18, a highly polymorphic serine-threonine kinase that was secreted into the host cell during parasite invasion.
