Impact of breast milk miR-155 on the health of preterm neonates
Background. Breast milk (BM) is an important source of microRNAs (miRs). MicroRNAs are highly resistant to gastrointestinal enzymes and are well absorbed in the intestine. MiR-155 is one of the most expressed miR of BM.

IL-10 from CD4(+)CD25(-)Foxp3(-)CD127(-) adaptive regulatory T cells modulates parasite clearance and pathology during malaria infection [PDF]
The outcome of malaria infection is determined, in part, by the balance of pro-inflammatory and regulatory immune responses. Failure to develop an effective pro-inflammatory response can lead to unrestricted parasite replication, whilst failure to ...

CD4CD25 Regulatory Cells Contribute to the Regulation of Colonic Th2 Granulomatous Pathology Caused by Schistosome Infection [PDF]
Eggs of the helminth Schistosoma mansoni accumulate in the colon following infection and generate Th2-biassed inflammatory granulomas which become down- modulated in size as the infection proceeds to chronicity.

Foxp3 and dominant tolerance [PDF]
The hallmark of the adaptive immune system is the random generation of antigen receptors in developing lymphocyte clones through a process of somatic cell gene rearrangement mediated by the recombination-activating gene recombinase.

The role of FOXP3 in autoimmunity
FOXP3 controls the development and function of T regulatory cells (Tregs). Autoimmunity is linked to changes in FOXP3 activity that can occur at multiple levels and lead to Treg dysfunction. For example, changes in IL-2 signaling, FOXP3 transcription and/or post-translational modifications can all contribute to loss of self-tolerance.

IL-6 controls susceptibility to helminth infection by impeding Th2 responsiveness and altering the Treg phenotype in vivo [PDF]
IL-6 plays a pivotal role in favoring T-cell commitment toward a Th17 cell rather than Treg-cell phenotype, as established through in vitro model systems.

Expression levels of MIF, NLRP1 and FOXP3 genes along with biomarker levels in patients with active form of non-segmental generalized vitiligo: A study in South Indian population [PDF]
Vitiligo, the most widespread hypopigmentary syndrome, is considered to be a multifactorial disease in which the active melanocytes are lost. Vitiligo has been studied in a variety of ways, and several genes have been implicated.
