Extracellular Vesicles and Immune System in Ageing and Immune Diseases
Immune system is essential for host homeostasis. Immune cells communicate with each other by binding to receptors or by releasing vesicles including chemokines and cytokines. Under healthy circumstances, immune cell-derived factors are critical for cellular growth, division and function, whereas under conditions such as ageing and inflammatory states ...

DNA, the Immune System, and Atopic Disease [PDF]
The prevalence and severity of atopic diseases (atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis) have increased over recent decades, particularly in industrialized nations. Atopic dermatitis, like asthma, is more common in older siblings and in less crowded houses and with late entry to day care, increased maternal education, and higher socio-economic

GATA3 induces the pathogenicity of Th17 cells via regulating GM-CSF expression
T-bet-expressing Th17 (T-bet+RORγt+) cells are associated with the induction of pathology during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and the encephalitic nature of these Th17 cells can be explained by their ability to produce GM-CSF. However,

The role of the immune system in kidney disease [PDF]
Summary The immune system and the kidneys are closely linked. In health the kidneys contribute to immune homeostasis, while components of the immune system mediate many acute forms of renal disease and play a central role in progression of chronic kidney disease.

Alzheimer's Disease and the Immune System [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been known for over 100 years, but has only just become a pressing matter at the end of the 21st century. AD is a disease related to the aging of the individual, and has its burden over the population has continued to increase as medicine and technology are continuing to lengthen the lives of individuals.

Cholinergic Modulation of the Immune System in Neuroinflammatory Diseases [PDF]
Frequent diseases of the CNS, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia), elicit a neuroinflammatory response that contributes to the neurodegenerative disease process itself. The immune and nervous systems use the same mediators, receptors, and cells to regulate the immune and ...
