Interleukin-18: The Bouncer at the Mucosal Bar
The fidelity of the intestinal barrier is critical to maintaining a healthy relationship between the immune system and the microbiota. Levy et al. and Nowarski et al. reveal how microbiota-derived metabolites modulate the activation of the inflammasome to influence the expression of the cytokine IL-18, intestinal barrier function, and intestinal inflammation.
متن کاملThe Polymer Bouncer
Polymer Quantization (PQ) is a background independent quantization scheme that is deployed in Loop Quantum Gravity. This framework leads to a new short-distance (discretized) structure characterized by a fundamental length. In this paper we use PQ to analyze the problem of a particle bouncing on a perfectly reflecting surface under the influence of Earth’s gravitational field, what we have call...
متن کاملInterleukin 18
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a recently described member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily, is now recognized as an important regulator of innate and acquired immune responses. IL-18 is expressed at sites of chronic inflammation, in autoimmune diseases, in a variety of cancers, and in the context of numerous infectious diseases. This short review will describe the basic biology of IL-18 and thereafte...
متن کاملTargeting interleukin 18 with interleukin 18 binding protein.
A novel, constitutively expressed and secreted interleukin 18 (IL18) binding protein (IL18BP) neutralises IL18. IL18BP shares many characteristics with soluble cytokine receptors of the IL1 family in that the protein exhibits specificity for IL18, belongs to the immunoglobulin-like class of receptors and has limited amino acid sequences with those of the IL1 receptor type II. However, unlike so...
