  • The gut microbiome, which impacts the innate and adaptive branches of immunity, not only influences the development of autoimmune disorders but may interact with sex-hormones to modulate disease progression and sex-bias. (nih.gov)
  • Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a transcription factor that regulates the activity of multiple innate and adaptive immune cells subsequent to binding to numerous endogenous and exogenous ligands. (aacrjournals.org)
  • After an acute stroke, sensors of the innate immune system such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and innate immune cells, are activated by brain ischemia, leading to amplification of the inflammatory cascade. (en-journal.org)
  • Inflammasomes are cytosolic multimolecular protein complexes which respond to innate immune recognition induced by microbial infections and endogenous danger signals [ 9 , 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Additionally, adaptive immunosuppression merits further consideration as a potential endogenous protective mechanism. (en-journal.org)
  • In this review, we highlight recent studies regarding the effects and mechanism of immunosuppression on the pathophysiology of stroke, with the hope that a better understanding of the function of both of innate and adaptive immunity in this setting will facilitate the development of effective therapies for post-stroke inflammation.
