Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia. Here we explore the possible causal role of the gut microbiota in heme-...

Locally released cytokines contribute to beta cell dysfunction and apoptosis in Type 1 diabetes. In vitro exposure of insulin producing INS-1E cells to the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta + interferon (IFN) gamma leads to a significant increase in apoptosis. To characterize the genetic networks im...

Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density coll...
Background and Aims: We have shown in several controlled rat and human infection studies that dietary calcium improves intestinal resistance and strengthens the mucosal barrier. Reinforcement of gut barrier function is also relevant for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, we investigated th...

TREM-1 is an orphan immunoreceptor expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. TREM-1 associates with and signals via the adapter protein DAP12/TYROBP, which contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). TREM-1 activation by receptor cross-linking is pro-inflammatory, ...

The maintenance of the TFH phenotype depends on continuous signals via ICOS. For a global assessment of differences in gene expression after interruption of the ICOS pathway a genome wide transcriptome analysis was performed. We used the OT-II adoptive transfer system to isolate antigen-specific TFH...

IL-1R associated kinase-4 (IRAK4) is a key enzyme required for activation of the common Toll-like Receptor (TLR) signaling cascade, which results in the transcription of inflammatory and immunity genes. IRAK-4 deficiency has recently been described as a rare form of innate immunodeficiency. Patien...

The objective of the study was to evaluate transcriptional response of endotoxin-stimulated human monocytic cells in presence and absence of host defense peptide LL-37. A functional genomics approach was used to establish a temporal transcriptional profile and identify differentially expressed gene...

Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer initiated by RB1 mutation or MYCN amplification, while additional alterations may be required for tumor development. However, the view on single nucleotide variants is very limited. To better understand oncogenesis, we determined the genomic landscape of ret...
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a highly contagious dsRNA virus (Birnaviridae) which causes immuno-suppression in chickens. Although largely controlled by vaccination, new, virulent strains of the virus mean that infectious bursal disease (IBD or ëGumboroí disease) still remains a threat t...
