Smooth Orchestrators
A smooth orchestrator is a process with several alternative branches, every one defining synchronizations among co-located channels. Smooth orchestrators constitute a basic mechanism that may express standard workflow patterns in Web services as well as common synchronization constructs in programming languages. Smooth orchestrators may be created in one location and migrated to a different one...
متن کاملRecognition of gut microbiota by NOD2 is essential for the homeostasis of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes
NOD2 functions as an intracellular sensor for microbial pathogen and plays an important role in epithelial defense. The loss-of-function mutation of NOD2 is strongly associated with human Crohn's disease (CD). However, the mechanisms of how NOD2 maintains the intestinal homeostasis and regulates the susceptibility of CD are still unclear. Here we found that the numbers of intestinal intraepithe...
متن کاملp120-catenin is essential for maintenance of barrier function and intestinal homeostasis in mice.
Epithelial-cadherin (E-cadherin) is a master organizer of the epithelial phenotype. Its function is regulated in part by p120-catenin (referred to herein as p120), a cytoplasmic binding partner that directly regulates cadherin stability. As it has been suggested that cadherins have a role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we sought to investigate this further by assessing the effect of p120 ...
متن کاملNoncanonical role of transferrin receptor 1 is essential for intestinal homeostasis.
Transferrin receptor 1 (Tfr1) facilitates cellular iron uptake through receptor-mediated endocytosis of iron-loaded transferrin. It is expressed in the intestinal epithelium but not involved in dietary iron absorption. To investigate its role, we inactivated the Tfr1 gene selectively in murine intestinal epithelial cells. The mutant mice had severe disruption of the epithelial barrier and early...
متن کاملGammadelta intraepithelial lymphocytes are essential mediators of host-microbial homeostasis at the intestinal mucosal surface.
The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors thousands of bacterial species that include symbionts as well as potential pathogens. The immune responses that limit access of these bacteria to underlying tissue remain poorly defined. Here we show that γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (γδ IEL) of the small intestine produce innate antimicrobial factors in response to resident bacterial "pathobionts"...
