Diet and Immune Function [PDF]
Nutrients, 2019 A well-functioning immune system is critical for survival. The immune system must be constantly alert, monitoring for signs of invasion or danger. Cells of the immune system must be able to distinguish self from non-self and furthermore discriminate between non-self molecules which are harmful (e.g., those from pathogens) and innocuous non-self ...

Sleep and immune function [PDF]
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2011 Sleep and the circadian system exert a strong regulatory influence on immune functions. Investigations of the normal sleep-wake cycle showed that immune parameters like numbers of undifferentiated naïve T cells and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines exhibit peaks during early nocturnal sleep whereas circulating numbers of immune cells with ...

Regulation of CCR7-dependent cell migration through CCR7 homodimer formation
Scientific Reports, 2017 The chemokine receptor CCR7 contributes to various physiological and pathological processes including T cell maturation, T cell migration from the blood into secondary lymphoid tissues, and tumor cell metastasis to lymph nodes.

Immune and non-immune functions of the immunoproteasome
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012 The biological importance of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the control of myriad cellular processes has been well-recognized; however, the pathophysiological significance of the immunoproteasome, the inducible form of the proteasome, has not been well-comprehended until lately.

Immune function in mania [PDF]
Biological Psychiatry, 1988 There is now a large body of evidence suggesting a close interaction between the central nervous system and the immune system. More specifically, immunological abnormalities have been described in relation to psychological stress (Jemrnott and Locke 1984) and in patients with psychiatric illness (DeLisi and Crow 1986).

Glutathione and immune function [PDF]
Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2000 The immune system works best if the lymphoid cells have a delicately balanced intermediate level of glutathione. Even moderate changes in the intracellular glutathione level have profound effects on lymphocyte functions. Certain functions, such as the DNA synthetic response, are exquisitely sensitive to reactive oxygen intermediates and, therefore, are

B cells extract antigens at Arp2/3-generated actin foci interspersed with linear filaments
eLife, 2019 Antibody production depends on B cell internalization and presentation of antigens to helper T cells. To acquire antigens displayed by antigen-presenting cells, B cells form immune synapses and extract antigens by the mechanical activity of the acto ...

Function of immunoglobulin A in immunity [PDF]
Gut, 2000 Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is by far the most abundant immunoglobulin in humans.1 It is also the most heterogeneous. Serum IgA is mainly monomeric. It is produced by B lymphocytes in the bone marrow and in some lymphoid organs. Humans produce as much serum IgA as they do IgG. Most of the IgA in mammals is, however, found in mucosal secretions.

The impact of a ketogenic diet on weight loss, metabolism, body composition and quality of life
iScienceSummary: A ketogenic diet (KD) is increasingly debated as a countermeasure against nutrition-related modern diseases. While being immunologically beneficial, KD is still suspected of having severe metabolic side effects and negatively impacting general ...
