The Co-Evolution of Jawed Vertebrates and Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 Generates Unique Inflammation and Innate Immunity
2024-07-16
Abstract excerpt
The emergence of jaws in early vertebrates introduced a novel feeding apparatus and potent oral defenses but also increased the risk of physical injury and pathogen exposure. Innate immunity and inflammation constitute the body’s first line of defense against invading microbes and tissue damage, aiming to eliminate threats and restore internal homeostasis. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) plays a critical rol...
