Preeclampsia‐derived small extracellular vesicles disrupt blood–brain barrier integrity and activate glial cells in vitro

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study assessed the impact of plasma‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from healthy pregnant women and those diagnosed with late‐onset preeclampsia (PE) on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity and glial cell response. PE patients had higher sEV concentrations than healthy controls.

Dietary N‐Acetylserotonin offers protection against Shewanella putrefaciens infection in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Shewanella putrefaciens is an important bacterial pathogen that poses a serious threat to Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) aquaculture. However, the protective effects of N‐Acetylserotonin (NAS) against S. putrefaciens infection in E. sinensis remain unknown.

P2x7 deficiency suppresses development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2008
Background The purinergic receptor P2x7 is expressed on myeloid cells as well as on CNS glial cells, and P2x7 activation has been shown to increase both glial and T-cell activation. These properties suggest a role in the development of autoimmune disease

The Dual Roles of Regulatory B Cells in Infection, Cancer, and Immunity

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Regulatory B cells maintain immune homeostasis via suppressive cytokines and surface molecules like PD‐L1. While beneficially suppressing autoimmunity and promoting transplant tolerance, these identical mechanisms detrimentally attenuate antipathogen and antitumor immune responses.

SIRT1-based therapy targets a gene program involved in mitochondrial turnover in a model of retinal neurodegeneration

Scientific Reports
Neurodegenerative diseases of the eye such as optic neuritis (ON) are hallmarked by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss and optic nerve degeneration leading to irreversible blindness.

Gliotoxin Aggravates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by Triggering Neuroinflammation

Toxins, 2019
Gliotoxin (GTX) is the major and the most potent mycotoxin that is secreted by Aspergillus fumigatus, which is capable of injuring and killing microglial cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.

Evidence for a Two‐Step Model for Activation of GPR25 by the Chemoattractant CXCL17

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT CXCL17 was recently reported to activate GPR25, a receptor expressed by T‐regulatory cells. Although classified as a chemokine, the activity of CXCL17 is ablated by minor C‐terminal truncation, suggesting a novel mode of receptor activation. We set out to test this hypothesis by mutagenesis. GPR25 was expressed in the murine pre‐B cell line L1.

Auto-Reactive Th17-Cells Trigger Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder Like Behavior in Mice With Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Th17-lymphocytes are well known for their deleterious role in autoimmunity. But does the notoriety of this repertoire extend beyond autoimmunity? In the present study we employed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as model system to study the role

Channel Dysfunction as the Basis for Comorbidities in Multiple Sclerosis and Depression

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ion channel remodelling induced by neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis alters neuronal excitability and immune signalling, creating shared molecular pathways that link multiple sclerosis pathology to depression and reveal novel pharmacological targets.

Targeting microglia-Th17 feed-forward loop to suppress autoimmune neuroinflammation

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Microglia and Th17 cells are the major immunopathogenic cells in multiple sclerosis and its animal model of immune aspects, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).
