Toll-Like Receptor 4 Activation in Cancer Progression and Therapy by Alja Oblak, Roman Jerala

“…Cancer immunotherapy has been the focus of intense research since the late 19th century when Coley observed that bacterial components can contribute to cancer regression by eliciting an antitumor immune response. Successful activation and maturation of tumor-specific immune cells is now known to be mediated by bacterial endotoxin, which activates Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). …”

Inflammatory Mechanisms of Organ Crosstalk during Ischemic Acute Kidney Injury by Laura E. White, Heitham T. Hassoun

“…Evidence from preclinical models cites mechanisms of organ crosstalk during ischemic AKI including the expression of cellular adhesion molecules, lymphocyte trafficking, release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and modification of the host innate and adaptive immune response systems. In this paper, the influence of kidney IRI on systemic inflammation and distant organ injury will be examined. …”

Technologies for Proteome-Wide Discovery of Extracellular Host-Pathogen Interactions by Nadia Martinez-Martin

“…Pathogens have evolved unique mechanisms to breach the cell surface barrier and manipulate the host immune response to establish a productive infection. Proteins exposed to the extracellular environment, both cell surface-expressed receptors and secreted proteins, are essential targets for initial invasion and play key roles in pathogen recognition and subsequent immunoregulatory processes. …”
