The Dual Role of Innate Immune Response in Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury

TL;DR: The dual role of innate immune cells involved in AILI is summarized and it is illustrated how these cells initiate innate immune responses that lead to persistent inflammation and liver damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Potential Role of Cytokine Storm Pathway in the Clinical Course of Viral Respiratory Pandemic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the different pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the various respiratory viral pandemics (COVID-19; SARS; MERS; H1N1 influenza A and Spanish flu) which have affected humans in this and last century, with particular attention to the phenomenon of the cytokine storm which determines the clinical severity of the respiratory disease and consequently its lethality.

Randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of human anti-LIGHT monoclonal antibody in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome

TL;DR: In this article , a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, proof-of-concept trial enrolled adults hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)associated pneumonia and mild to moderate ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Immunomodulatory Effect of Intravenous Immunoglobulin by Fc Galactosylation and Nonfucosylation

TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of IVIG is in part mediated via activating FcγR blockade by galactosylated, nonfucosyated IgG and that such nonfukosylation IgG glycoforms bound to FcαγRs on immune cells play immunomodulatory roles in health and disease.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 and Th17 Cells.

TL;DR: The investigation of the differentiation, effector function, and regulation of Th17 cells has opened up a new framework for understanding T cell differentiation and now appreciate the importance of Th 17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is shown that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in mice deficient in the IL-1β receptor.
