The My(c)stery of iNKT cell ontogeny [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2009
Invariant V alpha 14 bearing natural killer T cells (iNKT) cells constitute a subset of lymphocytes that recognize lipid-based ligands presented by the non-classical MHC class I-like molecule CD1d and responds with rapid cytokine production. Despite their multiple implications in regulating immune responses, pertaining to cancer and auto-immunity, the ...

Traversing the bench to bedside journey for iNKT cell therapies

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are immune cells that harness properties of both the innate and adaptive immune system and exert multiple functions critical for the control of various diseases.

N6‐Methyladenosine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Emerging Regulator of Pathogenesis and a Novel Therapeutic Frontier

open access: yesiMetaMed, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine associated with an imbalance in intestinal homeostasis. m6A‐modifying enzymes, consisting of m6A writers, erasers and readers, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of IBD by affecting four intestinal barriers, including the intestinal mechanical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Porcine Invariant Natural Killer T Cells: Functional Profiling and Dynamics in Steady State and Viral Infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Pigs are important livestock and comprehensive understanding of their immune responses in infections is critical to improve vaccines and therapies. Moreover, similarities between human and swine physiology suggest that pigs are a superior animal model ...

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.

Homeostatic regulation of marginal zone B cells by invariant natural killer T cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Marginal zone B cells (MZB) mount a rapid antibody response, potently activate naïve T cells, and are enriched in autoreactive B cells. MZBs express high levels of CD1d, the restriction element for invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT).

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 ...
