Bidirectional crosstalk along the gut-liver axis controls gastrointestinal health and disease
and exploits environmental and host mediators. Nutrients, microbial antigens, metabolites …

Macrophages exposed to inflammatory stimuli including LPS undergo metabolic
reprogramming to facilitate macrophage effector function. This metabolic reprogramming …

The pro-inflammatory state of macrophages, underpinned by their metabolic condition, is
essentially affecting their capacity of combating tumor cells. Here we find, via a pooled …

Sepsis is expected to have a substantial impact on public health and cost as its prevalence
increases. Factors contributing to increased prevalence include a progressively aging …

Immune memory is a defining feature of the acquired immune system, but activation of the
innate immune system can also result in enhanced responsiveness to subsequent triggers …

The mechanisms underlying innate immune memory have been extensively explored in the
last decades but are in fact largely unknown. Although the specificity of adaptive immune …

Macrophages are first responders for the immune system. In this role, they have both effector
functions for neutralizing pathogens and sentinel functions for alerting other immune cells of …

Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans. It exists as a commensal in the oral
cavity, gut or genital tract of most individuals, constrained by the local microbiota, epithelial …

Metabolic rewiring and epigenetic remodeling, which are closely linked and reciprocally
regulate each other, are among the well-known cancer hallmarks. Recent evidence …

In the lungs, macrophages constitute the first line of defense against pathogens and foreign
bodies and play a fundamental role in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Activated …
