Sentence examples for facilitating host defense from inspiring English sources

Systemic mycoses have been shown to alter the expression of P450 genes in mammalian livers, in some instances facilitating host defense while in others associated with the etiology of the disease [47].

This can indicate that, in response to molecules secreted by CC cells and in particular HPV+ cells, M1 macrophages upregulated the expression of TLR-3, -7, and -9, which could induce nuclear factor kappa-B (NF- κ Β) and Interferon regulatory transcription factor 3 (IRF3) pathway activation, facilitating host defense and tumor cell killing.

This response could facilitate host defense or exacerbate inflammatory disease.

Neutrophil: granular leukocytes that facilitate host defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens, but also mediate airway inflammation in severe asthma.

RAGE could up-regulate the capacity of leukocytes to kill bacteria [ 2] and facilitates host defense during bacterial infection [ 3, 4].

As the innate immune cells in CNS, microglia are necessary for normal brain function to help host defense by eliminating invading pathogens, removing deleterious debris, accelerating tissue repair and facilitating tissue homeostasis [ 42].

The early induction of SAG by P. aeruginosa, LPS and poly I C prompted us to hypothesize that SAG exerts its antiapoptotic activity at the initial phase of infection, to facilitate host innate immune defense rather than early death of the immune-responsive cell.

The increased evolutionary rate identified in oomycete effector gene families has therefore been suggested to facilitate host jumps and adaptation to novel host defense systems, making oomycetes highly successful pathogens (Raffaele and Kamoun 2012).

These mechanisms have presumably developed in order to facilitate neutrophil effector function in host defense.

As these pathways are thought to represent the mammalian host's defense against tick feeding [ 59, 60], it is tempting to imagine that ticks could utilize some of these serpins to manipulate host defense to facilitate tick feeding and disease transmission.

One mechanism by which integrins participate in host defense is by facilitating endocytosis.
