Constitutive immune mechanisms: mediators of host defence and immune regulation - Limiting inflammatory responses & Constitutive immunity beyond infection

Limiting inflammatory responsesImmune responses induced by PRRs and by antigenspecific receptors are often highly potent and sterilizing. However, they may also be relatively disruptive and can be associated with tissue damage and the requirement for significant tissue repair and energy consumption119. Many of the constitutive immune mechanisms discussed here not only interfere with microbial r..

Constitutive immune mechanisms: mediators of host defence and immune regulation - Targeting microbial replication

Targeting microbial replicationDirect inhibition of microbial replication is executed by molecules that interfere with specific steps in the replication cycle of a given microorganism. There are at least six mechanisms of action in this category: restriction factors that directly block a specific replication step; restriction factors that deplete molecules essential for replication; RNA interfer..

Constitutive immune mechanisms: mediators of host defence and immune regulation - Constitutive and inducible mechanisms

A major challenge for living organisms is to maintain homeostasis in response to changes in external and internal environments. These include alterations in nutrient and water supplies, physical stress, temperature changes, physiological stress, infections and malignancies.  homeostasis 항상성 alteration 변화malignancy 악성종양 Through billions of years of evolution, the forms of life and biological proc..
