Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress in tuberculosis vaccine development and host-directed therapies—a state of the art review

Stefan H. E. Kaufmann, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: Host-directed therapies are now being developed to refocus the anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis-directed immune responses towards the host; a strategy that could be especially beneficial for patients with multidrug- resistant tuberculosis or extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wnt Signaling and Dupuytren's Disease

Kithiganahalli Narayanaswamy Balaji, +2 more
- 28 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: The fact that six of these nine loci harbor genes encoding proteins in the Wnt-signaling pathway suggests that aberrations in this pathway are key to the process of fibromatosis in Dupuytren's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravenous immunoglobulin expands regulatory T cells via induction of cyclooxygenase-2-dependent prostaglandin E2 in human dendritic cells

Jamma Trinath, +15 more
- 22 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IVIg expands Tregs via induction of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in human DCs, and that costimulatory molecules of DCs such as programmed death ligands, OX40 ligand, and inducible T-cell costimulator ligands were not implicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Role of the PE Domain and Immunogenicity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Triacylglycerol Hydrolase LipY

Kanhu Charan Mishra, +13 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest for the first time that both PE and PPE domains can share similar functional roles and that LipY represents a novel immunodominant antigen.
