SARS-CoV-2 and immune-microbiome interactions: Lessons from respiratory viral infections
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
By the beginning of 2020, infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had rapidly evolved into an emergent worldwide pandemic, an outbreak whose unprecedented consequences highlighted ...
The mosquito melanization response requires hierarchical activation of non-catalytic clip domain serine protease homologs.
(
Public Library of Science
, 2019 , Article)
Serine protease cascades regulate important insect immune responses namely melanization and Toll pathway activation. An important component of these cascades are clip-domain serine protease homologs (cSPHs), which are ...
The Impact of Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors on the Transmission Dynamics of Vector Borne Diseases
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Vector-borne diseases have been widely associated with human morbidity and mortality. The predominance of vector-borne diseases is not exclusive to particular areas, as such diseases are dispersed across the globe. Generally, ...
Microbiota-derived acetate activates intestinal innate immunity via the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Microbe-derived acetate activates the Drosophila immunodeficiency (IMD) pathway in a subset of enteroendocrine cells (EECs) of the anterior midgut. In these cells, the IMD pathway co-regulates expression of antimicrobial ...
Involvement of caveolae in hyperglycemia-induced changes in adiponectin and leptin expressions in vascular smooth muscle cells
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Hyperglycemia exerts various harmful effects on the vasculature. Studies have shown an association between the levels of the adipokines leptin and adiponectin (APN) and vascular complications in diabetes mellitus. The aim ...
Enteric pathogens modulate metabolic homeostasis in the Drosophila melanogaster host
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
On quotidian basis, living beings work out an armistice with their microbial flora and a scuffle with invading pathogens to maintain a normal state of health. Although producing virulence factors and escaping the host's ...
The effect of novel nitrogen-based chalcone analogs on colorectal cancer cells: Insight into the molecular pathways
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
In colorectal cancer (CRC), aberrations in KRAS are associated with aggressive tumorigenesis and an overall low survival rate because of chemoresistance and adverse effects. Ergo, complementary, and integrative medicines ...
