    Role of DC-STAMP in cytokine production

    Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) lacking DC-STAMP, a multi-membrane spanning protein preferentially expressed by these cells, secrete less cytokines and show impaired T cell activation potential and induction of Th1 responses in response to lipopolysaccharide maturation.

    Alcohol impairs immune response

    Acute and prolonged alcohol use has a profound inhibitory effect on Type I Interferon (IFN) induction regardless of intracellular or cell surface-derived danger signals and impairs Type I IFN responses to viral or bacterial pathogen-derived signals.

Quote

Sally Blower
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
