Toll mediates a robust and effective innate immune response across vertebrates and invertebrates. In Drosophila melanogaster, activation of Toll by systemic infection drives the accumulation of a rich repertoire of immune effectors in hemolymph, including the recently characterized Bomanins as well ...

Endothelial cell (EC) Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) activation upregulates the expression of inflammatory mediators and of TLR2 itself, and modulates important endothelial functions, including coagulation and permeability. We defined TLR2 signaling pathways in ECs, and tested the hypothesis that TLR2 ...

The Toll-like receptor and chemotaxis pathways are key components of the innate immune system. Computational modeling and simulation at the molecular interaction level can be used to study complex biological pathways, but protein concentration values must be input as model parameters. In this invest...

Tissue morphogenesis requires the spatial control over actomyosin contractility to drive cell shape changes. How developmental patterning information controls cell mechanics is poorly understood. In the Drosophila embryo ectoderm, Myosin-II is enriched at the interface between antero-posterior neigh...

Toll pathway is a key mediator of antiplasmodial immunity and its mechanism of action is dependent on hemocytes (mosquito white blood cells). Anopheles gambiae were injected with dsRNA for Cactus, an inhibitor of the Toll pathway. Cactus silencing over activates the Toll pathway. The goal of this ex...

Dominantly inherited expanded repeat neurodegenerative diseases are typically caused by the expansion of existing variable copy number tandem repeat sequences in otherwise unrelated genes. Repeats located in translated regions encode polyglutamine that is thought to be the toxic agent, however in se...

Patients with febrile malaria were recruited in order to determine Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) gene expression during malaria. Blood was harvested from patients during the acute phase of the illness, and then patients were given a curative regimen of antimalarials. Three to four weeks...

Canine heartworm is a widespread and potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease caused by infections with the parasitic nematode, Dirofilaria immitis. We have previously shown that systemic activation of the Toll immune pathway via silencing of the negative regulator Cactus in Aedes aegypti blocks par...

In innate immune responses, activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) triggers direct antimicrobial activity against intracellular bacteria, which in murine, but not human, monocytes and macrophages is mediated principally by nitric oxide. We report here that TLR activation of human macrophages up-re...

Microglia are the resident mononuclear phagocytes of the CNS parenchyma and represent an initial line of defense against invading microorganisms. Microglia utilize Toll-like receptors (TLRs) for pathogen recognition and TLR2 specifically senses conserved motifs of gram-positive bacteria including li...
