Evaluation of new Toxocara canis chimeric antigens as an alternative to conventional TES-Ag for anti-Toxocara antibodies detection

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Human toxocariasis is one of the neglected helminthiases and it is caused by the zoonotic roundworm species Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati. Diagnosis of human toxocariasis is based on the combination of clinical, parasitological, and epidemiological ...

A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been demonstrated to have a role in immune regulation. In general, they are anti-inflammatory and promote Th2 type responses, and they are associated with the alternative activation of macrophages.

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

Advances in Double‐Stranded DNA Targeting Technologies

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) plays a crucial role in genetic information storage and disease management, but its inherent stability limits access to internal bases. To overcome this challenge, various high‐specificity molecular targeting technologies have been developed to destabilize the DNA structure.

Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 407-419, March 2025.
Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells: The Expanding World of Helminth Modulation of the Immune System

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Infection with helminths or parasitic worms are highly prevalent worldwide especially in developing regions. Helminths cause chronic infections that are associated with suppression of immune responses to unrelated pathogens, vaccines, and by-stander ...

Association of autoimmune diseases with biologic agents targeting type 2 immunity: An observational study using a claims database

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
This observational study assessed the association between anti‐type 2 biologic agents and the occurrence of autoimmune diseases using a large real‐world claims database. Anti‐IL‐5 and anti‐IgE therapies were associated with an increased occurrence of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

IL-10- and TGFβ-mediated Th9 Responses in a Human Helminth Infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Th9 cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells that express the protoypical cytokine, IL-9. Th9 cells are known to effect protective immunity in animal models of intestinal helminth infections.

Down regulation of the TCR complex CD3 ζ-chain on CD3+ T cells: a potential mechanism for helminth mediated immune modulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
The CD3ζ forms part of the T cell receptor (TCR) where it plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways leading to T cell effector functions.

An Enteric Helminth Infection Protects Against an Allergic Response to Dietary Antigen [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2002
AbstractAlthough helminths induce a polarized Th2 response they have been shown, in clinical studies, to confer protection against allergies. To elucidate the basis for this paradox, we have examined the influence of an enteric helminth infection on a model of food allergy.
