Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a rising, multifactorial chronic disorder driven by dysregulated mucosal immunity in genetically susceptible individuals and influenced by environmental and microbial factors.

Cancer Vaccine Development: Toward Artificial Intelligence‐Assisted Personalized Cell Membrane Nanovaccine

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 49, 1 September 2026.
Cancer nanovaccines have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional cancer vaccines, which have shown limited clinical efficacy. In particular, cell membrane nanoparticle‐based nanovaccines can offer high biocompatibility and immunogenicity while preserving tumor antigens, including antigen repertoires.

Tissue-specific shaping of the TCR repertoire and antigen specificity of iNKT cells

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Tissue homeostasis is critically dependent on the function of tissue-resident lymphocytes, including lipid-reactive invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells.

Peripheral blood iNKT cell activation correlates with liver damage during acute hepatitis C

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2022
Invariant NK T (iNKT) cells are implicated in viral clearance; however, their role in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains controversial. Here, iNKT cells were studied during different stages of HCV infection. iNKT cells from patients with acute HCV

Immunomodulatory Effects of Tokishakuyakusan on Progesterone Withdrawal–Induced Uterine Inflammation in Pregnant Mice

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 96, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Problem Tokishakuyakusan (TSS) is a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine widely used to support pregnancy; however, its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the progesterone‐related immunomodulatory mechanisms underlying the pregnancy‐supportive effects of TSS using a mouse model of progesterone ...

Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Immune Regulation of Blood Cancers: Harnessing Their Potential in Immunotherapies

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique innate T lymphocyte population that possess cytolytic properties and profound immunoregulatory activities. iNKT cells play an important role in the immune surveillance of blood cancers.

MAIT Cells Suppress IgE‐Mediated Asthma via IFNγ‐Dependent B Cell Regulation

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 3236-3249, September 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate that MAIT cell antagonism during sensitization and challenge with HDM worsens the development of airway hyperreactivity without effects on type 2 or 17 associated cytokine production or lung inflammation. Rather, MAIT cells appear to regulate HDM‐induced asthma through direct inhibition of IgE production.

Analysis of Human Thymopoiesis Reveals Rapid Postnatal Remodeling of Thymocytes Within the First 3 Months of Life

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human thymopoiesis undergoes a dynamic postnatal transition, revealing maximal intrathymic sjTREC production at birth, shifts in thymocyte phenotype and composition, and a transient wave of effector Vδ2+ γδ T cells during early infancy. ABSTRACT The thymus generates a diverse and self‐tolerant T‐cell repertoire.

Immunometabolic Activation of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are lipid-reactive T cells with profound immunomodulatory potential. They are unique in their restriction to lipid antigens presented in CD1d molecules, which underlies their role in lipid-driven disorders such as ...
