The role of autophagy in microbial infection and immunity
The autophagy pathway represents an evolutionarily conserved cell recycling process that is activated in response to nutrient deprivation and other stress signals. Over the years, it has been linked to an array of cellular functions. Equally, a wide range of cell-intrinsic, as well as extracellular, factors have been implicated in the induction of the autophagy pathway. Microbial infections rep...
متن کاملneurolaw: a brief introduction.
neurolaw, as an interdisciplinary field which links the brain to law, facilitates the pathway to better understanding of human behavior in order to regulate it accurately through incorporating neuroscience achievements in legal studies. since 1990's, this emerging field, by study on human nervous system as a new dimension of legal phenomena, leads to a more precise explanation for human behavio...
متن کاملCell-mediated immunity to human CMV infection: a brief overview
The cellular immune response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has different components originating from both the adaptive and innate immune systems. There is a significant global interest in understanding how the immune system keeps HCMV under control, in particular with a view to situations where HCMV infection causes severe damage. Such settings include HIV infection, transplantation, and mayb...
متن کاملAutophagy: Cancer, Other Pathologies, Inflammation, Immunity, Infection, and Aging
Autophagy plays a direct or indirect role in health and disease. A simplified definition of autophagy is that it is an exceedingly complex process which degrades modified, superfluous (surplus) or damaged cellular macromolecules and whole organelles using hydrolytic enzymes in the lysosomes. It consists of sequential steps of induction of autophagy, formation of autophagosome precursor, formati...
متن کاملAutophagy and innate immunity.
munity-related GTPase M) and NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2)] results in the development of immune-related diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease [2] . Autophagy represents an ancient immune defense strategy present in flies. Importantly, as flies lack an adaptive immune system, the function of autophagy in cellintrinsic innate immunity can be...
