Fructose reprogrammes glutamine-dependent oxidative metabolism to support LPS-induced inflammation
(2021)Fructose intake has increased substantially throughout the developed world and is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Currently, our understanding of the metabolic and mechanistic ... -
The HCV protein, p7, suppresses inflammatory responses to TNF-a via STAT3 and ERK-mediated induction of SOCS3
(2019)Viruses use a spectrum of immune evasion strategies that enable infection and replication. The acute phase of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is characterized by nonspecific and often mild clinical symptoms, suggesting ... -
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Limits Host Glycolysis and IL-1β by Restriction of PFK-M via MicroRNA-21
(2020)Increased glycolytic metabolism recently emerged as an essential process driving host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but little is known about how this process is regulated during infection. Here, we ... -
Technological Approaches for Improving Vaccination Compliance and Coverage
