Structural Basis of WLS/Evi-Mediated Wnt Transport and Secretion: Cell
Wnts are a family of secreted, lipid-modified glycoproteins that regulate morphogenesis, stemness, and cell fate decisions. Upon reaching the membrane of a producing cell, Wnts travel locally through the extracellular space to nearby signal-receiving cells, where they interact with a diversity of cell-surface receptors, including a family of 10 human Frizzleds, as well as an …

Wnt signalling is an essential player in tissue formation, notably in the regulation of stem cell function. Wnt signalling is best known for its roles in G1/S progression. However, a complex Wnt programme that also mediates mitotic progression and asymmetric cell division (ACD) is emerging. Recent developments in this area have provided mechanistic insights as …
Immune system
The immune system is the system of specialized cells and organs that protects an organism from outside biological influences (though in a broad sense, almost every organ has a protective function—for example, the tight seal of the skin or the acidic environment of the stomach).. When the immune system is functioning properly, it protects the body against bacteria and viral …

Chaperone-mediated autophagy: a unique way to enter the
In this review we focus on a type of selective autophagy, known as chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), so far only identified in mammalian cells, that was set apart from other types of autophagy due to the unique way in which its substrates, mainly cytosolic proteins, enter the lysosome . Proteins degraded by CMA are identified one-by-one by a ...
Movement: How the Brain Communicates with the World
Voluntary movement results from signals transmitted from the internal world in our minds to the physical world around us. This Perspective discusses the experimental and theoretical underpinnings of current models of movement generation, the way they are modulated by external information, and how development of movement models that include the …
Cell‐Mediated Immunity
Cell-mediated immunity (CMI), also known as cellular immunity, is a historical definition that now serves to distinguish immune responses that are mediated by cells at the effector phase from those mediated by antibodies in the humoral arm of the immune response.
10.5: Cell-Mediated Immunity
Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) is an immune response that does not involve antibodies but rather involves the activation of macrophages and NK-cells, the production of antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. Cellular immunity protects the body by:
Principles and therapeutic applications of adaptive …
Adaptive immunity provides protection against infectious and malignant diseases. These effects are mediated by lymphocytes that sense and respond with targeted precision to perturbations induced by pathogens and …
Tissue-specific immunity for a changing world
Studies in mouse models and humans have revealed how immune cells are compartmentalized into tissue sites and the key role of site-directed immunity in long-term memory, protective immunity, and homeostasis.

Cell-Mediated Immune Response. In addition to the humoral response, the other type of immune response is the cell-mediated immune response, which involves mainly T cells.It leads to the destruction of cells that are infected with viruses.Some cancer cells are also destroyed in this way. There are several different types of T cells involved in a cell-mediated immune response, …
