Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)
In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the… Expand

SHARPIN forms a linear ubiquitin ligase complex regulating NF-κB activity and apoptosis
SHARPIN is a ubiquitin-binding and ubiquitin-like-domain-containing protein which, when mutated in mice, results in immune system disorders and multi-organ inflammation. Here we report that SHARPIN… Expand

Complexity of Danger: The Diverse Nature of Damage-associated Molecular Patterns*
  • L. Schaefer

  • The Journal of Biological Chemistry
  • 12 November 2014
In reply to internal or external danger stimuli, the body orchestrates an inflammatory response. The endogenous triggers of this process are the damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs… Expand

WNT1-inducible signaling protein-1 mediates pulmonary fibrosis in mice and is upregulated in humans with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by distorted lung architecture and loss of respiratory function. Enhanced (myo)fibroblast activation, ECM deposition, and alveolar epithelial type… Expand

Biological Functions of the Small Leucine-rich Proteoglycans: From Genetics to Signal Transduction*
The small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family has significantly expanded in the past decade to now encompass five discrete classes, grouped by common structural and functional properties. Some of… Expand

Proteoglycans in health and disease: novel regulatory signaling mechanisms evoked by the small leucine‐rich proteoglycans
The small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are involved in many aspects of mammalian biology, both in health and disease. They are now being recognized as key signaling molecules with an expanding… Expand

Histones from dying renal cells aggravate kidney injury via TLR2 and TLR4.
In AKI, dying renal cells release intracellular molecules that stimulate immune cells to secrete proinflammatory cytokines, which trigger leukocyte recruitment and renal inflammation. Whether the… Expand

Beyond tissue injury-damage-associated molecular patterns, toll-like receptors, and inflammasomes also drive regeneration and fibrosis.
Tissue injury initiates an inflammatory response through the actions of immunostimulatory molecules referred to as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs encompass a group of… Expand

Biglycan, a Danger Signal That Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome via Toll-like and P2X Receptors*
The role of endogenous inducers of inflammation is poorly understood. To produce the proinflammatory master cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β, macrophages need double stimulation with ligands to both… Expand
