Interplay between thermal and immune ecology: Effect of environmental temperature on insect immune response and energetic costs after an immune challenge
(Elsevier, 2012)
Although the study of thermoregulation in insects has shown that infected animals tend to prefer higher
temperatures than healthy individuals, the immune response and energetic consequences of this preference
remain ...
Redirection of the immune response to the functional catalytic domain of cruzipain improves protective immunity against Trypanosoma cruzi infection
(Oxford University Press, 2010-12)
Despite the strong immune responses elicited after natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi or vaccination against it, parasite survival suggests that these responses are insufficient or inherently inadequate. T. cruzi ...
Immune literacy: reading, writing and editing adaptive immunity
Advances in reading, writing and editing DNA are providing unprecedented insights into the complexity of
immunological systems. This combination of systems and synthetic biology methods is enabling the
quantitative and ...
Innate immune response: ally or enemy in cutaneous leishmaniasis?
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an infectious and neglected disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, which produces a wide spectrum of cutaneous manifestations. CL research has shown that the innate immune ...
Probiotics and trained immunity
(MDPI AG, 2021-09-14)
The characteristics of innate immunity have recently been investigated in depth in several research articles, and original findings suggest that innate immunity also has a memory capacity, which has been named “trained ...
A short history of innate immunity
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz., 2023)
The energetic cost of mounting an immune response for Pallas's long-tongued bat (Glossophaga soricina)
(Peerj Inc, 2018-06-05)
The acute phase response (APR) is the first line of defense of the vertebrate immune system against pathogens. Mounting an immune response is believed to be energetically costly but direct measures of metabolic rate during ...
Interplay between behavioural thermoregulation and immune response in mealworms
(2012)
Since the preferential body temperature should positively correlate with physiological performance, behavioural fever should enhance an organism's immune response under an immune challenge. Here we have studied the ...
The role of glucose homeostasis on immune function in response to exercise: The impact of low or higher energetic conditions
(2020-04-01)
Immune cells are bioenergetically expensive during activation, which requires tightly regulated control of metabolic pathways. Both low and high glycemic conditions can modulate immune function. States of undernourishment ...
