Immunomodulatory and regenerative potentials of breast milk, prematurity and children’s heart
Recent expansion of fundamental knowledge on the physiology of lactation, and breast milk exosomes, stem cell biology, mother-child interactions from prenatal period to postnatal development requires a progressive, dynamic view from the scientific ...

Abstract Fusarium wilt resistance of Gossypium barbadense is very important to maintain its yield and quality, and to disease resistance breeding. Although many individual genes, which are quantitative trait loci associated with wilt resistance have been identified, knowledge of genes controlling wilt resistance in G. barbadense is still limited.

Costimulatory molecule-deficient dendritic cell progenitors (MHC class II+, CD80(dim), CD86-) prolong cardiac allograft survival in nonimmunosuppressed recipients [PDF]
We have shown previously that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived MHC class II+ dendritic cell (DC) progenitors that are deficient in cell surface expression of the costimulatory molecules B7-1 (CD8O) and

Do maternal cells trigger or perpetuate autoimmune diseases in children?
The placental barrier is not the impenetrable wall that it was once presumed to be. During pregnancy, fetal cells pass into the mother, where they persist for decades after the pregnancy, leading to fetal microchimerism (FMc).

Long-term persistence and effects of fetal microchimerisms on disease onset and status in a cohort of women with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The discovery of a fetal cells transfer to the mother is a phenomenon with multiple implications for autoimmunity and tolerance. The prevalence and meaning of the feto-maternal microchimerism (MC) in rheumatic diseases has not been thoroughly

Striking augmentation of hematopoietic cell chimerism in noncytoablated allogeneic bone marrow recipients by flt3 ligand and tacrolimus [PDF]
The influence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM- CSF) and the recently identified hematopoietic stem-progenitor cell mobilizing factor flt3 ligand (FL) on donor leukocyte microchimerism in noncytodepleted recipients of allogeneic ...

We describe here a simple and versatile method of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on paraffin-embedded tissue sections with specific application in the study of microchimerism, that is, the presence of intact foreign cells within an individual.

Growth of donor-derived dendritic cells from the bone marrow of murine liver auograft recipients in response to granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor [PDF]
Allografts of the liver, which has a comparatively heavy leukocyte content compared with other vascularized organs, are accepted permanently across major histocompatibility complex barriers in many murine strain combinations without immunosuppressive ...
