The in silico macrophage: toward a better understanding of inflammatory disease [PDF]
Macrophages function as sentinel, cell-regulatory hubs capable of initiating, perpetuating and contributing to the resolution of an inflammatory response, following their activation from a resting state. Highly complex and varied gene expression programs within the macrophage enable such functional diversity.

HIV-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Current perspectives [PDF]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, caused by the polyomavirus JC and occurring almost exclusively in the context of severe immune depression.

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome: A therapeutic paradox
A 41-year-old HIV positive woman was started on highly active antiretroviral therapy when her CD 4 count was 54/cu mm. Three weeks later, she developed erythematous to skin-colored plaques over the face.

Enhancing Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems by Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) and Its Antitumor Immunity [PDF]
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a near room temperature ionized gas, generated under non-equilibrium discharge conditions. Here we show that a short exposure of rat peritoneal exudate macrophages and T-cells to CAP in vitro, triggered an inflammatory phenotype leading to better antigen-presenting and effector cell function respectively. Different from

Augmenting adaptive immunity: progress and challenges in the quantitative engineering and analysis of adaptive immune receptor repertoires [PDF]
The adaptive immune system is a natural diagnostic and therapeutic. It recognizes threats earlier than clinical symptoms manifest and neutralizes antigen with exquisite specificity. Recognition specificity and broad reactivity is enabled via adaptive B- and T-cell receptors: the immune receptor repertoire.

Evolutionary biology and anthropology suggest biome reconstitution as a necessary approach toward dealing with immune disorders [PDF]
Industrialized society currently faces a wide range of non-infectious, immune-related pandemics. These pandemics include a variety of autoimmune, inflammatory and allergic diseases that are often associated with common environmental triggers and with ...

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in the setting of antiretroviral therapy is well described, but it is not as common in non-HIV patients; here, we present a case of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome presenting as acute ...

Deinococcus radiodurans‐derived extracellular vesicles (R1‐EVs) provide radioprotection against total‐body irradiation‐induced acute radiation syndrome in mice. R1‐EVs mitigate oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals, promoting intestinal repair, enhancing hematopoietic function, and modulating immune responses. This study highlights the potential
