Effect of Body Condition Score at Calving on Adaptive Immune Function During Early Lactation in New Zealand Dairy Cows: Effect of calving body condition on adaptive immune function [PDF]

, 2014
The extent of postpartum negative energy balance in dairy cows is positively associated with body condition score (BCS) at calving. Results of epidemiological studies have indicated that calving BCS is positively correlated with several indicators of ...

Immune challenge mediates vocal communication in a passerine bird: an experiment [PDF]

, 2004
Secondary sexual characters may have evolved in part to signal resistance to parasites. Avian song has been hypothesized to be involved in this process, but the role of parasites in modulating acoustic communication systems in birds remains largely ...

Data from: Independent and interactive effects of immune activation and larval diet on adult immune function, growth and development in the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella)

, 2021
Organisms in the wild are likely to face multiple immune challenges as well as additional ecological stressors, yet their interactive effects on immune function are poorly understood.

Mitochondrial damage drives T-cell immunometabolic paralysis after major surgery

EMBO Molecular Medicine
Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) dysfunction is a hallmark of immune paralysis after major surgery, increasing susceptibility to severe nosocomial infections and contributing to mortality in critically ill patients. The mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Identifying Patterns of Hospitalizations Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population‐Based Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experience more hospitalizations than the general population. We aimed to identify distinct hospitalization patterns among Queensland CCSs and the associated characteristics. Methods Cases (aged ≤14 years) diagnosed between 1995 and 2019 while residents of Queensland were identified through the ...

Regulatory immune cells in transplantation. [PDF]

, 2012
Immune regulation is fundamental to any immune response to ensure that it is appropriate for the perceived threat to the host. Following cell and organ transplantation, it is essential to control both the innate immune response triggered by the injured ...

ICAMs in Immunity, Intercellular Adhesion and Communication

Cells
Interactions among leukocytes and leukocytes with immune-associated auxiliary cells represent an essential feature of the immune response that requires the involvement of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).

Classical Complement Pathway Inhibition in a Pediatric Patient With Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric refractory immune thrombocytopenia (rITP) is generally characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia and failure to achieve a sustained response to multiple standard therapies. We report a 4‐year‐old female with congenital tufting enteropathy, post‐intestinal transplant patient on immunosuppressants, who developed severe rITP ...

Unmutated RRAS2 emerges as a key oncogene in post-partum-associated triple negative breast cancer

Molecular Cancer
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, with triple negative BC (TNBC) accounting for 20% of cases. While early detection and targeted therapies have improved overall life expectancy, TNBC remains resistant to current treatments.

Melatonin, immune function and aging

Immunity & Ageing, 2005
Aging is associated with a decline in immune function (immunosenescence), a situation known to correlate with increased incidence of cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases.
