Tau‐targeting active immunotherapy slows progression and reduces pathology in mouse models of tauopathy

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
The efficacy of the novel anti‐tau active immunotherapy, p5555kb, was tested using two mouse models of tau pathology. p5555kb inoculation increased the survival rate and reduced tau pathology in tau‐overexpressing P301L mice and decreased tau seeding in the brains of C57BL/6 mice injected with human‐purified Alzheimer's disease tau.

Oesophageal Epithelial Cell‐Intrinsic MHCII Regulates Food Antigen‐Dependent Eosinophilic Esophagitis in an IFNγ‐Dependent Manner

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
We found that oesophageal epithelial cells upregulate MHCII expression during active EoE in humans and a mouse model. MHCII expression by EECs was governed by IFNγ‐inducible transcriptional elements. EEC‐intrinsic MHCII promoted regulatory T cell accumulation and attenuated eosinophilic oesophageal inflammation.

Hypoxia Exacerbates Periapical Periodontitis‐Associated Pathological Bone Loss via the Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor‐2α‐Calmodulin‐Dependent Protein Kinase IV Axis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Hypoxia exposure activates HIF‐2α, which binds to the Camk4 promoter to enhance RANKL‐mediated osteoclast differentiation, leading to aggravated alveolar bone resorption in periapical periodontitis. ABSTRACT Periapical periodontitis is one of the most common inflammatory bone destructive diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that hypoxia exposure,
