A guide to the chemist's toolbox for the stimulation of invariant natural killer (iNKT) cells. This Review encompasses the synthetic strategies for the preparation of the iNKT cell agonist α‐galactosylceramide (αGalCer), its TH1/TH2 skewing analogs, and other synthetic probes for the elucidation of mechanisms of αGalCer trafficking.

Osteopontin Aggravates Experimental Autoimmune Uveoretinitis in Mice [PDF]
Abstract Human endogenous uveitis is a common sight-threatening intraocular inflammatory disease and has been studied extensively using a murine model of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU). It is possibly mediated by Th1 immune responses.

Immunopathophysiology and clinical impact of uveitis in inflammatory rheumatic diseases: An update
Abstract Background Uveitis is one of the most frequent ophthalmologic manifestations in rheumatology. Uveal inflammation can underlie a systemic inflammatory rheumatic disease (SIRD) in approximately 30% of cases with a significant burden on the quality of life since it represents a cause of blindness in up to 20% of cases in Western countries ...

Tfh Cells in Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (IgA Vasculitis): Current Concept. [PDF]
Henoch‐Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an inflammatory condition affecting the small blood vessels, leading to organ damage and symptoms across various body systems, including skin, joints, and kidneys. The disease’s pathogenesis involves the deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) A immune complexes in vessels, triggering inflammation and damage. Recent research

A Role for Folate in Microbiome‐Linked Control of Autoimmunity
The microbiome exerts considerable control over immune homeostasis and influences susceptibility to autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease (AD/AID) such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 diabetes (T1D), psoriasis, and uveitis.

Nuclear receptor NR4A2 orchestrates Th17 cell-mediated autoimmune inflammation via IL-21 signalling. [PDF]
IL-17-producing CD4(+) T helper 17 (Th17) cells are pathogenic in a range of human autoimmune diseases and corresponding animal models. We now demonstrate that such T cells infiltrating the target organ during the induction of experimental autoimmune ...

Inflammatory Responses Potentiate GAS M Protein Induced Cardiac Damage in an Experimental Model of Rheumatic Heart Disease. [PDF]
Group A streptococcal M protein elicit antibody and T‐cell responses that cross react with cardiac and connective tissue proteins in the Rat Autoimmune Valvulitis (RAV) model of rheumatic heart disease. Bordetella pertussis Toxin induce a robust Th1 response that potentiates the autoimmune process in the RAV model A robust Th1/Th17 response was found ...
