Innate Immune Activation Is a Strong Suppressor of CCL22 and Impedes Regulatory T Cell–Dendritic Cell Interaction

Immunology, EarlyView.
During homeostasis, CCL22 is secreted by dendritic cells (DC), which mediate contacts between regulatory T cells (Treg) and DC to maintain immune balance. Activation of innate immunity via microbes or pattern recognition receptor (PRR) agonists induces the secretion of several soluble factors (e.g., type I and II interferons, IL‐10), which mediate ...

HTLV screening and confirmatory testing among blood donors in São Paulo: A cross‐sectional study

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1/2) are transfusion‐transmissible retroviruses associated with severe diseases, and blood donor screening is mandatory in Brazil. Increasing HTLV‐related discard rates at our institution prompted this study to determine the prevalence and incidence of HTLV‐1/2 and to investigate

Ovarian hormone loss modifies the nucleic acid cargo of circulating extracellular vesicles and skeletal muscle metabolism after acute exercise in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Loss of ovarian hormones (i.e., menopause) leads to negative effects on metabolic health. While exercise offers significant benefits, it seems to be insufficient to completely reverse these changes. The mechanisms by which exercise conveys the effects throughout the body are still poorly understood.

PREVALENCE OF ANTI-HTLV-I/II IN SLOVENIAN BLOOD DONORS AND THEIMPACT ON BLOOD SCREENING

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2008
BACKGROUND Human T-limphotropic viruses type I and II are retroviruses. People infected withHTLV-I/II are usually asymptomatic, lifelong antibodies carriers. Transfusion of blood components is one of the modes of virus transmissions.

The suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 regulates glioma stem cell maintenance and immune microenvironment through signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2026.
We found that SOCS3 deficiency activates STAT3 to enhance glioma stem cell (GSC) stemness and survival. We demonstrated that IL‐6 rescues STAT3 signaling and reverses SOCS3‐mediated tumor suppression. We revealed that SOCS3‐low GSCs exhibit enriched p53 and JAK‐STAT pathway activity. This study provides new mechanistic insights into SOCS3‐STAT3 axis in
