Inhibition of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex activates immune responses in Caenorhabditis elegans that reduce gut pathogen load but simultaneously compromise host survival.
Gut-to-brain communication via glial cytokine signaling links intestinal oxidative stress to altered sleep patterns, highlighting how gut inflammation can influence brain function and restorative sleep behaviors essential for mental well-being.
The kinase activity of Aurora kinase A is required for preserving S-adenosylmethionine availability for histone methylation and epigenetic reprogramming during trained immunity induction in macrophages.
sIgM plays a role in viral neutralization across both primitive and modern vertebrates by following conserved principles in the development of specialized antiviral immunity.

Inflammation supports selection, differentiation bias, and epigenetic reprogramming of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to generate innate immune memory.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) shape trained immunity, balancing infection responses and chronic inflammation, and TLR agonists are promising immunomodulators for infectious diseases and cancer.
Engineering self-amplifying RNA to intrinsically disarm the innate immune pathways it triggers enables durable, externally controlled gene expression with reduced cytotoxicity and cytokine release, eliminating the need for exogenous immunosuppressants.
