Elevated Proportions of Circulating CXCR5+ Follicular Helper T Cells Reflect the Presence of Airway Obstruction in Asthma

Journal of Immunology Research
Rationale. The progressive decline in lung function observed in asthma is attributed to persistent type 2 airway inflammation and associated airway remodeling. While various immune cells are involved in localized type 2 airway inflammation, whether these

Advances in the role of helper T cells in autoimmune diseases

Chinese Medical Journal, 2020
. Autoimmune diseases are primary immune diseases in which autoreactive antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes destroy and damage tissue and cellular components, resulting in tissue damage and organ dysfunction.

IL-21 and T follicular helper cells [PDF]

International Immunology, 2009
Upon encounter with antigen, CD4(+) T cells differentiate into effector T(h) subsets with distinctive functions that are related to their unique cytokine profiles and anatomical locations. One of the most important T(h) functions is to provide signals to developing B cells that induce specific and appropriate antibody responses. The major CD4(+) T cell

Microneedles Mediated Delivery of Nanodiamonds for Quantum Sensing of Free Radicals in Skin Tissue

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fluorescent nanodiamonds are nanoscale sensors capable of monitoring cellular stress responses. However, to function effectively, they must be delivered into cells or tissues. Here, we demonstrate their application in the skin by developing a dissolvable microneedle platform that dissolves after skin insertion, enabling the delivery of nanodiamonds ...

Extrusion Bioprinting for Wound Healing: Innovations in Functionalized Bioinks and Bioprinting Technology

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion‐based bioprinting (EBB) has emerged as a versatile biofabrication platform capable of precisely depositing bioinks composed of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive agents to generate patient‐specific, biomimetic skin constructs. This paper presents a state‐of‐the‐art and forward‐looking overview of EBB for wound healing, encompassing printing ...

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...

Control of Germinal Center Responses by T-Follicular Regulatory Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Regulatory T-cells (Treg cells), expressing the transcription factor Foxp3, have an essential role in the control of immune homeostasis. In order to control diverse types of immune responses Treg cells must themselves show functional heterogeneity to ...

Targeting METTL3 Attenuates Thyroid Inflammatory Injury by Restoring Th17/Treg Balance through a YTHDC2‐m6A‐Dependent KDR/VEGFA Loop

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
METTL3‐mediated m6A modification stabilizes KDR/Kdr mRNA through YTHDC2, amplifying the VEGFA‐KDR feedback loop and disturbing Th17/Treg balance. This pathway promotes persistent inflammation and tissue damage in patients with AIT, and inhibiting the METTL3‐KDR axis effectively disrupts this circuit, alleviating thyroid tissue injury and disease ...

Therapeutic Targeting of Follicular T Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Expressing Natural Killer Cells

Cell Reports Medicine, 2020
Summary: Follicular helper T cells (TFH) are critical for vaccine and infection elicitation of long-lived humoral immunity, but exaggerated TFH responses can promote autoimmunity and other pathologies.

Development and function of follicular helper T cells

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2016
AbstractMost currently available vaccines rely on the induction of long-lasting protective humoral immune responses by memory B cells and plasma cells. Antibody responses against most antigens require interactions between antigen-specific B cells and CD4+ T cells. Follicular helper T cells (TFH cells) are specialized subset of T cells that provide help
