PPARγ in Bacterial Infections: A Friend or Foe? by Aravind T. Reddy, Sowmya P. Lakshmi, Raju C. Reddy

“…Although it is generally believed that PPARγ activation is beneficial for the host during bacterial infections via its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, PPARγ agonists have also been shown to dampen the host immune response and in some cases exacerbate infection by promoting leukocyte apoptosis and interfering with leukocyte migration and infiltration. …”

Toll-Like Receptors in Leishmania Infections: Guardians or Promoters? by Marilia S. Faria, Flavia C. G. Reis, Ana Paula C. A. Lima

“…Although most studies appoint a protective role for TLRs, there is growing evidence that in some cases, TLRs facilitate infection. This review highlights recent advances in TLR function during Leishmania infections and discusses their potential role in restraining parasite growth versus yielding disease.…”
