Title: Intracellular pattern recognition receptors underlie inflammatory responses of glial cells to central nervous system pathogens
Author: Sterka, David
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Cytology
Description: There is growing appreciation that the resident glial cells of the CNS, in particular microglia and astrocytes, are important participants in the generation of inflammation during brain infection. However, the mechanisms by which these cell types ...

Title: Newly described cytosolic pattern recognition receptors mediate inflammatory glial responses to neurotropic viruses
Author: Furr, Samantha
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Immunology, Biology
Description: The rapid onset of potentially lethal neuroinflammation is a defining feature of viral encephalitis. Glial cells are ideally positioned to respond to invading pathogens of the central nervous system (CNS) and produce key inflammatory mediators fol...

Title: ROLE OF THE NOVEL DNA SENSORS cGAS, IFI16, AND ZBP1, DURING VIRAL INFECTIONS IN GLIA
Author: Jeffries, Austin
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Immunology, Virology, Neurosciences
Description: Viral central nervous system (CNS) infections can lead to life threatening encephalitis and long-term neurological deficits in survivors. Resident CNS cell types, such as astrocytes and microglia, are known to produce key inflammatory and antivira...
