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

open access: yesImmunology, 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 ...

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Cell Secretomes and Extracellular Vesicles for Craniofacial Regenerative Applications

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The scoping review summarizes the current preclinical and clinical evidence for the use of “cell‐free” therapies in craniofacial (periodontal, bone and soft‐tissue) regeneration. It also aims to highlight key challenges and strategies towards the clinical translation of these therapies.

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

open access: yesTransfusion 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

The roles of acquired and innate immunity in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-mediated diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis in small subsets of HTLV-1-carriers.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

Epidemiological analysis of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infection among different population in Central China. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 are retroviruses linked etiologically to various human diseases, and both of them can be transmitted by vertical route, sexual intercourse, blood transfusion and intravenous drug use.

Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

Targeted Interventions in HAM/TSP: Emerging Therapies and Future Directions – A Narrative Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Human T‐Lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) infection can lead to HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a debilitating chronic neurological disease characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity and autonomic dysfunction.

Difficulties in the diagnosis of HTLV-2 infection in HIV/AIDS patients from Brazil: comparative performances of serologic and molecular assays, and detection of HTLV-2b subtype Dificuldades no diagnóstico de infecção por HTLV-2 em pacientes com HIV/Aids do Brasil: análise comparativa de ensaios sorológicos e moleculares e detecção de subtipo HTLV-2b

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2007
The current diagnosis of human T-lymphotropic virus type-2 (HTLV-2) infection is based on the search of specific antibodies; nevertheless, several studies conducted in Brazil pointed deficiencies of the commercially available kits in detecting HTLV-2 ...
