Evolution of thymus organogenesis.

Abstract:

:The thymus is the primary organ for functional T lymphocyte development in jawed vertebrates. A new study in the jawless fish, lampreys, indicates the existence of a primitive thymus in these surviving representatives of the most ancient vertebrates, providing strong evidence of co-evolution of T cells and thymus. This review summarizes the wealth of data that have been generated towards understanding the evolution of the thymus in the vertebrates. Progress in identifying genetic networks and cellular mechanisms that control thymus organogenesis in mammals and their evolution in lower species may inspire the development of new strategies for medical interventions targeting faulty thymus functions.

  • Biochemical characterization of evasion from peptidoglycan recognition by Staphylococcus aureus D-alanylated wall teichoic acid in insect innate immunity.

    abstract::We recently reported that D-alanylation of Staphylococcus aureus wall teichoic acid (WTA) mitigates an induction of the Toll-mediated humoral response in Drosophila by interfering with peptidoglycan (PG) recognition by PG recognition protein-SA (PGRP-SA). Here, we investigated the mode of this interference by using an...
