Of pigs and peptides: interactions between Host Defence Peptides, Streptococcus suis and Porcine Immune Cells

There are almost one billion pigs worldwide, which are threatened by pathogenic bacteria. One of those is Streptococcus suis. There is no effective vaccine against this bacterium, leading to many diseased pigs each year, which in turn poses risks to

Macrophages are innate immune cells and are involved in the body’s first line of cellular defence. During an immune response, pro-inflammatory and reparative homeostatic macrophage activation states outbalance each other to prevent excessive damage

Transcriptome-guided optimization of in vitro culture conditions to study microglia in health and disease

Neuroinflammation is a characteristic of almost all neurological diseases. Since microglia, the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), are key players in neuroinflammatory processes there is an increasing interest in this cell type
