Probiotics and probiotic-based vaccines: A novel approach for improving vaccine efficacy
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 Vaccination is defined as the stimulation and development of the adaptive immune system by administering specific antigens. Vaccines' efficacy, in inducing immunity, varies in different societies due to economic, social, and biological conditions. One of

The role of the acquired immune response in systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2015 Profound alterations characterize the adaptive immune response in systemic sclerosis, and several layers of evidence support a prominent role exerted by immune cellular effectors and humoral mediators in the pathogenesis of this disease. These include (i) the presence of oligoclonal T cells in tissues undergoing fibrosis consistent with (auto)antigen ...

Getting on in Old Age: How the Gut Microbiota Interferes With Brain Innate Immunity
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 The immune system is crucial for defending against various invaders, such as pathogens, cancer cells or misfolded proteins. With increasing age, the diminishing immune response, known as immunosenescence, becomes evident.
