Background: Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is a key mediator of sarcoidosis-related granulomatous inflammation. Previous findings of IFN-γ-producing Th17 cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from sarcoidosis patients invokes the transition of Th17.0 cells to ...

Dynamic expression of transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3 by regulatory T cells maintains immunotolerance [PDF]
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) can express the transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3, but the function of this expression and whether such cells represent stable subsets is still unknown. By using various reporter tools, we found that the expression of T-bet and GATA-3 in Treg cells was dynamically influenced by the cytokine environment.

The transcription factor T-bet controls regulatory T cell homeostasis and function during type 1 inflammation [PDF]
Several subsets of Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (T(reg) cells) work in concert to maintain immune homeostasis. However, the molecular bases underlying the phenotypic and functional diversity of T(reg) cells remain obscure. We show that in response to interferon-gamma, Foxp3(+) T(reg) cells upregulated the T helper type 1 (T(H)1)-specifying transcription

Epi-drugs in combination with immunotherapy: a new avenue to improve anticancer efficacy [PDF]
Immune checkpoint factors, such as programmed cell death protein-1/2 (PD-1, PD-2) or cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) receptors, are targets for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) developed for cancer immunotherapy.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Aspergillus fumigatus preexposure worsens pathology and improves control of Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary infection in mice [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Mutations in this chloride channel lead to mucus accumulation, subsequent recurrent pulmonary infections, and ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

EXPRESSION OF T-bet FACTOR IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS IN BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
. We studied expression of transcription factor T-bet protein in allergic (ABA) versus non-allergic bronchial asthma (NABA), depending on severity grade and clinical phase of the disease.
