Abstract: AbstractBackgroundLiver kinase B1 (LKB1) has been studied extensively as a tumor suppressor gene (Stk11) in the context of cancer. We hypothesized that myeloid LKB1 plays a role in innate immunity during pneumonia.MethodsMice deficient for LKB1 in myeloid cells (LysM-cre × Stk11fl/fl) or neutrophils (Mrp8-cre × Stk11fl/fl) were infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae via the airways. LysM-cre × Stk11fl/fl mice were also intranasally challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).ResultsMice with myeloid LKB1 deficiency, but not those with neutrophil L... (read more)

Topic-specific impact indicators

Popularity:
This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
