Article Abstract
Plants are able to effectively cope with invading pathogens by activating an immune response based on the detection of invasion patterns (IPs) originating from the pathogen or released by the plant after infection. At a first level, this perception takes place at the plasma membrane through cell surface immune receptors and although the involvement of proteinaceous pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is well established, increasing data are also pointing out the role of membrane lipids in the sensing of IPs. In this review, we discuss the evolution of various conceptual models describing plant immunity and present an overview of well-characterized IPs from different natures and origins. We summarize the current knowledge on how they are perceived by plants at the plasma membrane, highlighting the increasingly apparent diversity of sentinel-related systems in plants.

Background: Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide, is characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism and unresolved inflammation. Macrophage-derived foam cell formation and apoptosis contribute to plaque formation and vulnerability. Elevated serum galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels are associated with increased CVD risk, and Gal-3 in plaques is strongly associated with macrophages.

The hallmarks of mechanosensitive ion channels have been observed for half a century in various cell lines, although their mechanisms and molecular identities remained unknown until recently. Identification of the bona fide mammalian mechanosensory Piezo channels resulted in an explosion of research exploring the translation of mechanical cues into biochemical signals and dynamic cell morphology responses. One of the Piezo isoforms - Piezo1 - is integral in the erythrocyte (red blood cell; RBC) membrane.

Canonical activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) by hormone binding occurs at the plasma membrane, resulting in the diffusion of second messengers to intracellular effector sites throughout the cell. In contrast, recent evidence suggests that functional GPCRs can induce signaling from distinct intracellular domains, contributing to specificity in signaling. Functional adrenergic receptors have been identified at intracellular sites in the cardiac myocyte such as endosomes, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi and the inner nuclear membrane.

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins which facilitate rapid transport of small ions into and out of the cell and between organelles and cytosol. Cytolytic lymphocytes including natural killer (NK) cells principally kill virus-infected and cancer cells by releasing cytolytic granules within the immunological synapse, formed between target and effector cells. This process strongly depends on Ca2+ signaling, which in human NK cells is controlled by the phospholipase C (PLCγ)/inositol-1,4,5-triphospate receptor (IP3R)/calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) axis.

Hepatocyte apoptosis is a key feature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the fate of apoptotic hepatocytes in MASH is poorly understood. Here, we explore the hypotheses that clearance of dead hepatocytes by liver macrophages (efferocytosis) is impaired in MASH because of low expression of the efferocytosis receptor T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4 (TIM4; gene ) by MASH liver macrophages, which then drives liver fibrosis in MASH. We show that apoptotic hepatocytes accumulate in human and experimental MASH, using mice fed the fructose-palmitate-cholesterol (FPC) diet or the high-fat, choline-deficient amino acid-defined (HF-CDAA) diet.
