From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Aire and Fezf2 Shape the Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cell Immunopeptidome for Central Tolerance

Immunology, EarlyView.
Central tolerance is shaped not merely by promiscuous gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), but by the subset of self‐peptides ultimately presented on MHC class II molecules. We propose a multilayered framework in which AIRE/Aire and FEZF2/Fezf2, together with specialised differentiation programmes—including thymic mimetic‐cell ...

SJOGREN’S SYNDROME

Journal of the Dow University of Health Sciences, 2007
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune and a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the infiltrationo f the exocrine glands particularly the lacrimal and the salivary glands by the lymphocytes and the plasmacells resulting in xerostomia and ...

Role of glucagon in metabolic diseases

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, diabetes is defined as “a chronic hyperglycemic state resulting from the absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin action,” emphasizing its characterization as an insulin‐related disease. However, glucagon dysregulation should also play a critical role in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes.

The ciliary neurotrophic factor induces Stat3 phosphorylation in distinctive cytotypes of organs involved in body metabolism: An immunohistochemical study

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
p‐STAT3‐positive cells in metabolically relevant peripheral organs and tissues from mice administered with recombinant CNTF (0.3 mg/kg). Abstract Administration of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) reduces food intake and body weight in both humans and experimental animals, where it also ameliorates hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia ...

Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

AQP1 Corrects Acinar Cells’ Secretion Deficits in Sjögren's Disease

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth, dry eyes, and profound fatigue. Preclinical studies suggest that AQP1 gene expression in salivary glands corrects salivary hypofunction in preclinical and clinical studies of radiation‐induced xerostomia and improves salivary and lacrimal function

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Immune Markers and Risk of Pancreatic Cancer in the European EPIC Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 9, Page 2146-2157, 1 November 2026.
The immune system has been implicated as a major driver in pancreatic cancer etiology. Previous cohort studies have found associations between pancreatic cancer and single immune system‐derived markers, but omics‐based evidence remains scarce. In this prospective case–control study, the authors investigated 92 proteins involved in immune reactions and ...

Effect of the juvenile hormone on the development of the mandibular gland in workers' pupae of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Insect mandibular glands are exocrine organs that produce chemical substances known as pheromones that play an important role in intra-specific communication of insects.
