Neuroinflammation, microglia and the cell biology of Alzheimer's Disease
(2020-04-08)
The pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterised by progressive accumulation of misfolded proteins, which form senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and chronic inflammation in the brain associated with ...
Immune defense mechanisms against Legionella longbeachae
(2020-01-30)
The pulmonary epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against pathogens invading the lungs. If those are able to overcome this first barrier, myeloid cells of the innate immune system are instrumental for the ......
MAIT cell diversity, function and impact on dendritic cells
(2020-04-01)
T cells represent an important component of the immune system. Whilst early studies were largely focused on the role of conventional CD8+ and CD4+ T cells that recognize peptide-antigens in association ...
Unravelling the role of RIM proteins in synaptic transmission: RIM1α tunes Ca2+ channel subtype contribution to neurotransmitter release
(2019-04-12)
Synaptic transmission is extremely fast and tightly regulated due to the rapid and spatially restricted Ca2+ signal at the presynaptic active zone (AZ). At the AZ, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC) ...
Functional and cellular heterogeneity of the myeloid cell system
(2020-11-09)
Cells of the myeloid lineage form the innate part of the immune system and are characterized by a high level of functional plasticity, which is required to address the diverse set of functions of these mononuclear cells. ...
