Endoscopic Management of Gastric Varices: Efficacy and Outcomes of Gluing with N-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate in a North American Patient Population

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2008
BACKGROUND: Gastric variceal bleeding is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in patients with portal hypertension. Outside of North America, gastric variceal injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate has been shown to be safe and effective ...

Age-Stratified T Cell Responses in Children Infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) in young children differs from adult TB in that the risk of rapid progression to active TB (aTB) is higher in children than in adults. The reasons for this increased risk are not fully understood. Early differentiation remains difficult

Porcine innate and adaptative immune responses to influenza and coronavirus infections [PDF]

, 2006
Both innate and adaptative immune responses contribute to the control of infectious diseases, including by limiting the spreading of zoonotic diseases from animal reservoirs to humans.

c-Maf restrains T-bet-driven programming of CCR6-negative group 3 innate lymphoid cells

eLife, 2020
RORγt+ group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) maintain intestinal homeostasis through secretion of type 3 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)−17 and IL-22.

Immuno-Diagnosis of Active Tuberculosis by a Combination of Cytokines/Chemokines Induced by Two Stage-Specific Mycobacterial Antigens: A Pilot Study in a Low TB Incidence Country

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Active tuberculosis (aTB) remains a major killer from infectious disease, partially due to delayed diagnosis and hence treatment. Classical microbiological methods are slow and lack sensitivity, molecular techniques are costly and often unavailable ...

Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]

, 2017
Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

Direct pharmacological AMPK activation inhibits mucosal SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing lipid metabolism, restoring autophagy flux and the type I IFN response

Journal of Virology
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a central role in regulating cell energy balance. When activated, AMPK suppresses energy-consuming pathways, such as lipid and protein synthesis, while increasing nutrient availability through the activation of ...

Respiratory Viral Infection Alters the Gut Microbiota by Inducing Inappetence

mBio, 2020
Respiratory viral infections are extremely common, but their impacts on the composition and function of the gut microbiota are poorly understood. We previously observed a significant change in the gut microbiota after viral lung infection.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
