The congenital immune response is the body’s first line of defense against exotic pathogens and stressors. This rapid non-specific response relies on the capability of pattern recognition receptors in recognizing pathogen-related molecular patterns and damage-related molecular patterns released by damaged cells in a quick manner.The cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) and NOD2 play crucial roles in host defense and survival, primarily by con...

The homeostasis of potassium, sodium and chlorine in human cells is subjected to rigorous regulation. Once the homeostasis is knocked off balance, it will trigger a series of diseases such as hypertension, depression and epilepsy. On the cell membrane, there is a kind of protein called cation-chloride cotransporter (CCC), which can take ions into and out of cells, thus effectively regulating the ion homeostasis in cells. However, for lack of precise information about its structure, people have l...
