Although GMCSF is mostly known for its role in inflammation, Dr. Merad's laboratory discovered that GM - CSF is produced in the normal gut by specialized cells called innate
lymphocyte cells (ILCs) in response to microbiota
signals.
In lymph nodes, a particular type of stromal cells that forms a scaffold for
lymphocytes to crawl around within the node normally secretes an enzyme called autotaxin, which is responsible for the production of the lipid
signaling molecule, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).
The scientists have demonstrated that this highly potent
signal is able to alert cells related to
lymphocytes, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2).
Recently recruited to the Maisonneuve - Rosemont Hospital Research Centre, Christopher Rudd specializes in
signaling mechanisms that control the immune function of T
lymphocytes.
Signal transduction through the T -
lymphocyte CD4 receptor involves the activation of the internal membrane tyrosine - protein kinase p56lck.
Dr. Shanker's expertise, leadership, and motivation to structure and direct the current research will uncover underlying mechanisms of
lymphocyte crosstalk, along with their interface with neural
signaling.

lymphocyte antigen - 4 accumulation in the immunological synapse is regulated by TCR
signal strength.

We have used B. anthracis to study the effect of MAPK
signaling pathways in group 3 innate immune
lymphocytes (ILC3s).
Objective: To use innovative approaches of integrative biology to unravel how
lymphocytes process an array of molecular
signals arising from contact with dendritic cells, thereby better understanding the mechanisms that underlie immunity and how they are altered in disease states.
His laboratory at MGH postulated and provided evidence for the first ligand - independent
signaling model during
lymphocyte development, now a widely accepted mechanism for both pre-B receptor and pre-T receptor
signaling.
My group has also shown that
lymphocytes from patients with breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer develop immune
signaling defects that blunt their proliferation and function in vivo.
Moreover, the researchers also discovered that the formation of normal B
lymphocyte groups that produce antibodies to fight real infections is not dependent on interferon gamma
signaling.
As this disease develops, antibodies recognize the thyroid tissue as being foreign and
lymphocytes, a form of white blood cell, are
signaled to cause the actual destruction.
The concept that the resting state in
lymphocytes is maintained passively in the absence of stimulatory
signals prevailed through the mid-1990s.
