Th17 responses are not altered by natural exposure to seasonal allergens in pollen-sensitive patients [PDF]
Background: Allergic rhinitis affects 10–30 % of the global population and this number is likely to increase in the forthcoming years. Moreover, it commonly co-exists with allergic asthma as a chronic allergic respiratory syndrome. While the involvement

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

Therapeutic targeting of STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 3) pathway inhibits experimental autoimmune uveitis. [PDF]
Mice with targeted deletion of STAT3 in CD4(+) T-cells do not develop experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) or experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), in part, because they cannot generate pathogenic Th17 cells.

A thermodynamical perspective of immune capabilities [PDF]
We consider the mutual interactions, via cytokine exchanges, among helper lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and killer lymphocytes, and we model them as a unique system by means of a tripartite network. Each part includes all the different clones of the same lymphatic subpopulation, whose couplings to the others are either excitatory or inhibitory (mirroring ...

Recovery of interleukin-17 production from interleukin-15-stimulated CD4+ mononuclear cells in HIV-1-infected patients with sustained viral suppression [PDF]
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is mainly produced by CD4 + T cells. The role of Th17 during the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection is still unclear, but HIV-1 infection can cause a preferential depletion of Th17 ...

A case of hypogonadtropic hypogonadism due to hypophysitis discovered by secondary male infertility
Introduction The main causes of secondary male infertility are varicocele and aging. It is rarely caused by adult‐onset hypopituitarism. The onset of hypopituitarism is often due to brain tumors, trauma, surgery, or congenital disorders. Case presentation A 29‐year‐old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of decreased libido and semen ...

Balance between Regulatory T and Th17 Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The Old and the New
Pathogenic mechanisms underlying the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are very complex and not yet entirely clarified. However, the pivotal role of T lymphocytes in the induction and perpetuation of aberrant immune response is well ...

The effect of the treatment of denture related stomatitis on peripheral T cells and monocytes [PDF]
Purpose: Systemic immune activation has been recently linked to chronic inflammatory disorders of the oral cavity, particularly to periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment of a fungus-induced oral inflammation, namely ...

TIAger: Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Scoring in Breast Cancer for the TiGER Challenge [PDF]
The quantification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has been shown to be an independent predictor for prognosis of breast cancer patients. Typically, pathologists give an estimate of the proportion of the stromal region that contains TILs to obtain a TILs score.
