Dendritic cell receptors, in particular C‐type lectins such as DC-SIGN, play a pivotal role in the immune response by recognising and internalising diverse glycan structures present on pathogens. The ...

Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...

Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells. The ability of these receptors to detect ...

This study is led by Dr. Xin Lin (Institute for Immunology of Tsinghua University). They find that the upstream regulator of NF-κB, B-cell lymphoma 10 (Bcl10), is involved in regulating the natural ...
