Sentence examples for modulate host defenses from inspiring English sources
Finally, PM-induced inflammatory processes may modulate host defenses and alter maternal immunity, thus leading to increased susceptibility to infections.
It recently emerged that Phytophthora and downy mildew species secrete a vast repertoire of effector proteins that modulate host defenses and enable pathogenicity [ 35, 36].
RXLR and CRN proteins are secreted in haustoria and translocated into host cells to modulate host defenses and enable pathogenicity [ 34].
These studies support a role for nutrients to modulate host defense mechanisms in premature infants, to develop normal digestive function, to protect from bacterial translocation, and to preserve mucosal barrier integrity.
We studied the potential of r-roscovitine to modulate host defense during sterile inflammation and bacterial infection of the lung.
By combining human and murine experimental systems, we extend this concept by providing evidence for an MDSC-mediated mechanism by which fungi modulate host defense, orchestrated by Dectin-1/CARD9, ROS, caspase-8, and IL-1β.

Next, we tested the hypothesis that the nematode modulates host defense responses in rice plants.
Previous work has shown that PKA and Epac can have distinct, redundant, or even opposing effects within the same cell, and both play important roles in modulating host defense functions in macrophages [8], [9].
These findings are important for further elucidation of cellular non-immune defense pathways as well as for charting and, ultimately, modulating host defense pathways during infections such as pneumococcal pneumonia, in which Ply is important and the balance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling may be a critical determinant of outcome [32].
