T cell apoptosis : about killers and victims
1 T lymphocytes are important regulatory cells that help to orchestrate our immune system to defend our body from harmful pathogens. However, not all T cell-mediated immune responses are beneficial. Uncontrolled T cell activation and expansion is the underlying cause of many destructive diseases. The more we understand about these diseases and their regulation, the more it becomes evident that ...
متن کاملFungi Infecting Plants and Animals: Killers, Non-Killers, and Cell Death
Fungi occupy every inhabitable ecological niche on earth [1]. Environmental requirements vary, from species with very specific ones to species that can live under a broad range of conditions. Pathogenic fungi are those species that occupy and derive nutrients from living organisms. Some fungal pathogens completely depend on their host, while others can prosper in additional environments. Fungal...
متن کاملFetal stem cell microchimerism: natural-born healers or killers?
After four decades of study, the biological role of fetal microchimerism (FMC) remains elusive. Transfer of fetal cells to the mother begins soon after implantation, and increases with gestational age. FMC cells then decline after delivery, but remain detectable for years post-partum. These cells have been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis remission during pregnancy and the prevention of breas...
متن کاملWhat Fuels Natural Killers? Metabolism and NK Cell Responses
There is a growing appreciation that cellular metabolism is important in determining the course of lymphocyte responses. Additionally, changes in metabolic processes have been linked to dysfunctional lymphocyte functions in a number of different diseases. While most early studies of metabolic regulation of lymphocyte function focused on T lymphocytes, an understanding of how metabolic pathways ...
متن کاملNatural born killers.
This year, 30 million acres of the corn, cotton, and potatoes planted in the United States will have been genetically engineered to produce an endotoxin normally found in the microbe Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a self-contained pesticide that will be toxic only to target insects. Transgenic pest-resistant crops are a cost-effective alternative to chemical pesticides, and may offer a way to hel...
