Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are known to be fundamental in instigating immune responses, but their role in influencing these responses beyond their initiation is less well ...

How big you are may be as important as what you look like, at least to immune system cells watching for dangerous bacteria and viruses. The size of pathogenic particles and the density of the ...

Due to their similarities to bacteria, mitochondria can actually trigger severe illness in humans. How can organelles inside our bodies suddenly become a threat? What evidence did Margulis use to ...

PAMPs in processed food may be making you sick. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs, are molecules associated with bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are recognized by the immune system.

Identification of the mechanisms of innate immune sensors is fundamental to the understanding of health and disease. The pattern recognition receptor (PRR) subfamily of nucleotide-binding ...

PAMPs, PRRs, effectors and R-genes associated with citrus–pathogen interactions Ronaldo J. D. Dalio, Diogo M. Magalhães, Carolina M. Rodrigues, Gabriella D. Arena, Tiago S. Oliveira, Reinaldo R. Souza ...

A new study suggests that mitochondria can be released into the bloodstream following physical injury, resulting in a sepsis-like immune response, and leading to the onset of the systemic inflammatory ...

Everyone knows that processed foodsaren't exactly good for the human body, but a new study byresearchers at the University of Leicester has shed more light onexactly why that's the case. The ...

Study identifies harmful PAMP molecules in processed foods that may increase risk of diseases such as coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes PAMPs can be found in processed foods such as sausages ...

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are released by bacteria as they grow during the food processing and refrigeration process. They have been found in high levels in foods such as burgers ...

Our favorite foods could be made healthier thanks to a new technique which has identified harmful bacterial molecules in certain processed foods such as burgers and ready meals. The study identifies a ...
