Infection01:20

Infection

11.6K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

524
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

676
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Stages of Infection

64.7K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens01:31

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

2.6K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Aging Research
  • Neurodegenerative Diseases

Background:

  • Dural ectopic lymphoid structures (ELS) are investigated for their role in neuroimmune interactions.
  • Their formation and function in aging and neurodegenerative diseases are poorly understood.
  • ELS may represent potential therapeutic targets for CNS disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the formation and role of dural ELS in aging and neurodegenerative disease models.
  • To examine ELS accumulation, complexity, and interaction with brain pathology.
  • To illuminate the role of ELS in disease mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of cranial dural meninges from aged wild-type and transgenic mice (EOAD, tauopathy, DS models).
  • Characterization of ELS using immunofluorescence (CD45R, CD3 markers).
  • Assessment of correlations between ELS dynamics and amyloid or tau pathology.

Main Results:

  • Meningeal ELS accumulate with age, with sex-specific patterns observed.
  • ELS formation intensified with pathology in 5xFAD mice, but reduced in APP/PS1 mice.
  • Tauopathy and DS models showed significantly fewer ELS compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • Dural ELS dynamics are age-, sex-, and pathology-specific, influencing CNS pathology.
  • Differential ELS regulation in AD, tauopathy, and DS highlights their role in the neuroimmune interface.
  • Targeting ELS may offer novel immunomodulatory therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
