Immunity is responsible for the defense mechanism of the body but in case of autoimmune diseases, its role gets diverted.

متن کاملAMPK in cancer: Tumor friend or foe?
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a downstream target of the tumor suppressor and serine/threonine kinase, LKB1. LKB1 phosphorylates conserved threonine residues in the activation loops not only of AMPK but also of several AMPK-related kinases, activating all of them. AMPK (but not the AMPK-related kinases) is switched on in an LKB1-dependent manner by energy stress, and acts to conserve A...

متن کاملFriend or foe
For many years, β-defensins were best known for their antimicrobial activity. However, β-defensins also exert immunomodulatory functions, such as the chemotactic recruitment of immune cells via chemokine receptors. We demonstrated that mouse β-defensin 14 recruits CCR6(+) B cells into fibrosarcomas, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis and tumor development.
