Assessing the role of ribosomes and mRNA translation in shaping the inflammatory response
Inflammation is a highly regulated process that acts as a first line of defense against pathogens infections. Triggered by cellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize specific microbial components and endogenous or exogenous non-microbial components, activation of inflammation induces a dynamic and coordinated gene expression program that leads to the production of cytokines and chemokines to attract effector cells to the site of infection. Although a robust inflammatory response is required for efficient clearance of pathogens, uncontrolled or prolonged inflammation can lead to inflammatory disorders such as septic shocks or to autoimmune diseases like lupus.
