Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals T Helper Cells Synthesizing Steroids De Novo to Contribute to Immune Homeostasis [PDF]
T helper 2 (Th2) cells regulate helminth infections, allergic disorders, tumor immunity, and pregnancy by secreting various cytokines. It is likely that there are undiscovered Th2 signaling molecules.

T helper1/T helper2 cells and resistance/susceptibility to Leishmania infection : is this paradigm still relevant? [PDF]
Work in large part on Leishmania major in the 1980s identified two distinct apparently counter-regulatory CD4 T cell populations, T helper (h)1 and Th2, that controlled resistance/susceptibility to infection respectively.

Increased Proportion of Dual-Positive Th2–Th17 Cells Promotes a More Severe Subtype of Asthma
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, and abnormal activation of T cells is the driving link of asthma’s pathophysiological changes. Dual-positive Th2–Th17 cells, as newly discovered T-helper cells, have the functions of Th2 and Th17 cells and can coproduce

Eosinophils: Cells known for over 140 years with broad and new functions
Eosinophils are multifunctional leukocytes, being involved in the host defense against helminth infection, tissue homeostasis and repair of injured tissue.

CD4CD25 Regulatory Cells Contribute to the Regulation of Colonic Th2 Granulomatous Pathology Caused by Schistosome Infection [PDF]
Eggs of the helminth Schistosoma mansoni accumulate in the colon following infection and generate Th2-biassed inflammatory granulomas which become down- modulated in size as the infection proceeds to chronicity.

In vitro generation of interleukin-10-producing regulatory CD4(+) T cells is induced by immunosuppressive drugs and inhibited by T helper 1 (Th1)- and Th2-inducing cytokines [PDF]
We show that a combination of the immunosuppressive drugs, vitamin D3 and Dexamethasone, induced human and mouse naive CD4(+) T cells to differentiate in vitro into regulatory T cells.

Metabolic Interdependency of Th2 Cell-Mediated Type 2 Immunity and the Tumor Microenvironment
The function of T cells is critically dependent on their ability to generate metabolic building blocks to fulfil energy demands for proliferation and consecutive differentiation into various T helper (Th) cells.

Phenotypic Analysis of Nasal CD69 CD4 Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps [PDF]
Background and Objectives Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease, classified into eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subtypes. Although CD4+ tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells play diverse roles in tissue homeostasis, their

Suppression of allergic airway inflammation by helminth-induced regulatory T cells [PDF]
Allergic diseases mediated by T helper type (Th) 2 cell immune responses are rising dramatically in most developed countries. Exaggerated Th2 cell reactivity could result, for example, from diminished exposure to Th1 cell–inducing microbial infections ...
