Peripheral and intestinal mucosal-associated invariant T cells in premature infants with necrotizing enterocolitis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a potentially fatal inflammatory gastrointestinal disease in preterm infants with unknown pathogenesis. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells primarily accumulate at sites where exposure to microbes is

The dynamics of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

SpringerPlus, 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory demyelination, gliosis and axonal loss in the Central Nervous System. Although the etiology of the disease has remained enigmatic, recent studies have suggested a role of the innate-like T cells, called Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells (MAITs) in the pathophysiology.

Thymic iNKT single cell analyses unmask the common developmental program of mouse innate T cells

Nature Communications, 2020
Innate-like T cells such as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells both develop in the thymus. Here the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show that mouse iNKT and MAIT share components of developmental ...

Human TRAV1-2-negative MR1-restricted T cells detect S. pyogenes and alternatives to MAIT riboflavin-based antigens

Nature Communications, 2016
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells sense riboflavin biosynthetic intermediate antigens with a semi-invariant MR1-restricted T-cell receptor (TCR). Here the authors identify a new MR1-restricted TCR that senses cells infected with S.

Differences in the molecular signatures of mucosal-associated invariant T cells and conventional T cells [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractMucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells exhibit different characteristics from those of TCRα7.2− conventional T cells. They play important roles in various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Characterisation of mucosal associated invariant T-cells and MR1 in ruminants [PDF]

, 2010
Mucosal associated invariant T-cells (MAIT) are a phylogenetically conserved subset of alpha/beta T-cells with natural killer-like (NK) activity. MAIT are defined by the expression of an invariant T-cell receptor alpha (TCRα) chain; in mice and humans ...

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.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Development of a Synthetic Hydrogel to Foster Microvascularization of an Endometriosis Microphysiological System

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ascent of novel alternative methods in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo, along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for pre‐clinical models of patient‐derived endometriosis lesions motivates the development of a vascularizable, completely synthetic ...
