Amino acid insertion in the Meq protein of Marek’s disease virus, an avian oncogenic herpesvirus, accelerates tumorigenesis by Jumpei Sato, Shiro Murata, Yoshinosuke Motai, Shwe Yee Win, Hikari Seo, Shunsuke Yamagami, Naoya Maekawa, Tomohiro Okagawa, Satoru Konnai, Kazuhiko Ohashi

“…Notably, the transcriptomes of tumor lesions in chickens infected with recombinant MDV (rMDV) with L-Meq and those infected with rMDV encoding Meq without the insertion were similar; however, chickens infected with rMDV harboring L-Meq exhibited higher proportions of CD4+ T cells and regulatory T cells, which are targets for transformation by MDV, in the early post-infection phase, suggesting accelerated tumorigenesis. …”

Spatiotemporal modeling quantifies cellular contributions to uptake of Aspergillus fumigatus in the human lung by Christoph Saffer, Sandra Timme, Sébastien C. Ortiz, Margherita Bertuzzi, Marc Thilo Figge

“…An efficient response by the resident type 1 and type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and alveolar macrophages (AMs) cells during the early hours of innate immunity is a prerequisite to maintain a non-inflammatory state, but foremost to rapidly remove harmful substances. …”

A probiotic and mixed-enzymes combination reduces the inflammatory response, faecal shedding and systemic spread of Campylobacter jejuni in broilers by K. Gibbs, L. Lacharme-Lora, Y. Dersjant-Li, C. Evans, P. Wigley

“…It suppressed early pro-inflammatory chemokine response seen in the ileum, caecum and caecal tonsil tissues (at 3 d.p.i.) in challenged control birds (-18 to -46-fold; P<0.05) and altered expression of pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A and IL-17F) and regulatory (IL-10 and TGF-β) cytokines. …”
