Abstract Exposure to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) induces an augmented, broad-spectrum antimicrobial response subsequent infection, a phenomenon termed innate immune memory. This study examined the effects of treatment with β-glucan, fungus-derived dectin-1 ligand, or monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), bacteria-derived Toll-like receptor 4 on memory focus identifying common cellular and pathways activated by these diverse PAMPs. Treatment either PAMP prepared system respond...
Terbium is a rare-earth element with critical importance for industry. Two adsorbents of different origin, In2O3 nanoparticles and the biological sorbent Arthrospira platensis, were applied terbium removal from aqueous solutions. Several analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, employed to characterize adsorbents. The effect time, pH, concentration on adsorption efficiency was evaluated. For both adsorbents,...
SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in a global pandemic and the development of multiple vaccines. Here we present case 61-year-old woman who developed interstitial lung disease (ILD) with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5 (MDA-5) anti-polymyositis (PM)/Scl-75 antibodies after her second dose BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Clinical, laboratory, radiologic findings supported diagnosis rapidly progressive ILD. Despite aggressive treatment, respiratory status declined, she needed mechanical...
Aging significantly increases the incidence and severity of infections, with individuals aged 65 above accounting for 65% sepsis cases. Innate immune training, known as "trained immunity" or "innate memory", has emerged a potential strategy to enhance infection resistance by modulating aging system. We investigated impact β-glucan-induced trained immunity on mice (18-20 months old) compared young adult (10-12 weeks old). Our findings showed that β-glucan equally augmented host in both mice....
Coumarins, an old class of compounds, are naturally occurring benzopyrene derivatives. A lot coumarins have been identified from both natural and synthetic sources. Coumarins recently attracted intense interest because their diverse pharmacological properties. However cytotoxicity accumulation in the environment become a controversial limiting issue. Biodegradation seems as attractive solution to reduce toxicity or promote safer derivatives for medical applications. In our study, coumarin...
