Serum calprotectin in nonsegmental vitiligo: a possible marker of disease activity

Journal of the Egyptian Women’s Dermatologic Society
Background Determining the status of nonsegmental vitiligo is crucial in initiating the management plan, especially when planning for surgery. Serum biomarkers can serve as an additive tool, to clinical examination and history-taking, in differentiating ...

Macrophage Death following Influenza Vaccination Initiates the Inflammatory Response that Promotes Dendritic Cell Function in the Draining Lymph Node

Cell Reports, 2017
The mechanism by which inflammation influences the adaptive response to vaccines is not fully understood. Here, we examine the role of lymph node macrophages (LNMs) in the induction of the cytokine storm triggered by inactivated influenza virus vaccine ...

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]

, 2018
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

S100A1 is released from ischemic cardiomyocytes and signals myocardial damage via Toll‐like receptor 4

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2014
Members of the S100 protein family have been reported to function as endogenous danger signals (alarmins) playing an active role in tissue inflammation and repair when released from necrotic cells.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Epicutaneous Immunity and Onset of Allergic Diseases - Per-“Eczema”tous Sensitization Drives the Allergy March

Allergology International, 2013
Results: from recent epidemiological studies strongly suggest that ingestion of food promotes immune tolerance to food antigens, whereas exposure to food antigens through skin leads to allergic sensitization.

Allergic Rhinitis Amplifies Asthma Risk in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Large‐Scale Retrospective Cohort Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are two highly prevalent airway diseases in the United States. While the coexistence of CRS and asthma is well recognized, less is known about the development of new‐onset asthma in CRS, particularly in the context of comorbid AR. This study assessed the impact of CRS and AR on

Helminths in the hygiene hypothesis:Sooner or later? [PDF]

, 2014
There is increasing recognition that exposures to infectious agents evoke fundamental effects on the development and behaviour of the immune system. Moreover, where infections (especially parasitic infections) have declined, immune responses appear to be
