Biofilm-Innate Immune Interface: Contribution to Chronic Wound Formation.
Zoya Versey,Waleska Stephanie da Cruz Nizer,Emily Russell,Sandra Zigic,Katrina G. DeZeeuw,Jonah E. Marek,Joerg Overhage,Edana Cassol,Edana Cassol +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the current literature on how bacterial populations and biofilms contribute to chronic wound formation, the role of bacteria and bio-films in driving dysfunctional innate immune responses in chronic wounds, and therapeutics currently available (or underdevelopment) that target bacteria-innate immune interactions to improve healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative Stress Response in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Waleska Stephanie da Cruz Nizer,Vasily Inkovskiy,Zoya Versey,Nikola Strempel,Edana Cassol,Joerg Overhage +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used PubMed to evaluate the current knowledge on the oxidative stress responses adopted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and described the genes that are often differently expressed under oxidative stress conditions, the pathways and proteins employed to sense and respond to oxidative stress, and how these changes in gene expression influence pathogenicity and the virulence of P. aerugus.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIF-1α Regulation of Cytokine Production following TLR3 Engagement in Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages Is Dependent on Viral Nucleic Acid Length and Glucose Availability.
Duale Ahmed,Allan Humphrey,David Roy,Mary-Elizabeth Sheridan,Zoya Versey,Allison F. Jaworski,Alexander Edwards,James Donner,Alfonso Abizaid,William G. Willmore,Ashok Kumar,Ashkan Golshani,Edana Cassol +12 more
TL;DR: This paper found that short and long dsRNA differentially engage TLR3, inducing distinct levels of proinflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-6) in bone marrow-derived macrophages from C57BL/6 mice.
