The fungal mycobiome promotes pancreatic oncogenesis via activation of MBL

TL;DR: It is shown that fungi migrate from the gut lumen to the pancreas, and that this is implicated in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), and that pathogenic fungi promote PDA by driving the complement cascade through the activation of MBL.

C-type lectins in immunity: recent developments.

TL;DR: CLRs play an essential role in immunity to fungi and mycobacteria and are involved in the regulation of homeostasis, autoimmunity and allergy.

Malassezia Is Associated with Crohn's Disease and Exacerbates Colitis in Mouse Models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized fungi directly associated with the intestinal mucosa in healthy people and Crohn's disease patients and identified fungi specifically abundant in patients, including Malassezia restricta, which elicits strong inflammatory cytokine production from innate cells harboring the IBD-linked polymorphism in CARD9.

Fungal dysbiosis: immunity and interactions at mucosal barriers.

TL;DR: It is proposed that gut microbiota dysbiosis is a collective feature of complex interactions between prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities that can affect immunity and that can influence health and disease.

Signalling C‐Type lectin receptors, microbial recognition and immunity

TL;DR: This review will focus on the recognition of bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens by CLRs, and how these receptors influence the outcome of infection, and provides a brief update on the role of CLRs in antifungal immunity.

A simple and rapid method for the permethylation of carbohydrates

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the permethylation of sugars involving methyl iodide, a solid base (NaOH, KOH, or tert-BuOH/NaOH), and methyl sulphoxide was suggested.

Peptidoglycan- and Lipoteichoic Acid-induced Cell Activation Is Mediated by Toll-like Receptor 2

TL;DR: It is shown that whole Gram-positive bacteria, sPGN and LTA induce the activation of NF-κB in HEK293 cells expressing TLR2 but not in cells expressingTLR1 or TLR4, which identifies TLR 2 as a signal transducer for sPGn and Lta in addition to LPS.

C1q and Mannose Binding Lectin Engagement of Cell Surface Calreticulin and Cd91 Initiates Macropinocytosis and Uptake of Apoptotic Cells

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that C1q and mannose binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family of proteins, bind to apoptotic cells and stimulate ingestion of these by ligation on the phagocyte surface of the multifunctional protein, calreticulin.
