Inflammasomes are a central node of the innate immune defense system against the threat of homeostatic perturbance caused by pathogenic organisms or host-derived molecules. Inflammasomes are generally composed of multimeric protein complexes that assemble in the cytosol after sensing danger signals. Activated inflammasomes promote downstream proteolytic activation, which triggers the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines therefore inducing pyroptotic cell death.

Endothelial cells play an important role in sensing danger signals and regulating inflammation. Several factors are capable of inducing a proinflammatory response (e.g.

Emerging evidence suggests that resident macrophages within tissues are enablers of tumor growth. However, a second population of resident macrophages surrounds all visceral organs within the cavities and nothing is known about these GATA6 large peritoneal macrophages (GLPMs) despite their ability to invade injured visceral organs by sensing danger signals. Here, we show that GLPMs invade growing metastases that breach the visceral mesothelium of the liver via the "find me signal", ATP.

The C-type lectin receptor Mincle is known for its important role in innate immune cells in recognizing pathogen and damage associated molecular patterns. Here we report a T cell-intrinsic role for Mincle in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Genomic deletion of Mincle in T cells impairs TH17, but not TH1 cell-mediated EAE, in alignment with significantly higher expression of Mincle in TH17 cells than in TH1 cells.

Background: Biofilm is a community of bacteria embedded in an extracellular matrix, which can colonize different human cells and tissues and subvert the host immune reactions by preventing immune detection and polarizing the immune reactions towards an anti-inflammatory state, promoting the persistence of biofilm-embedded bacteria in the host.
Main Body Of The Manuscript: It is now well established that the function of immune cells is ultimately mediated by cellular metabolism. The immune cells are stimulated to regulate their immune functions upon sensing danger signals.
