From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Aire and Fezf2 Shape the Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cell Immunopeptidome for Central Tolerance
Central tolerance is shaped not merely by promiscuous gene expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), but by the subset of self‐peptides ultimately presented on MHC class II molecules. We propose a multilayered framework in which AIRE/Aire and FEZF2/Fezf2, together with specialised differentiation programmes—including thymic mimetic‐cell ...

Use of organ-culture, irradiation and adoptive-transfer to investigate the role of the xenopus thymus in t lymphocyte development [PDF]
This Thesis attempts to develop an amphibian model system for exploring the role of the thymus, particularly its stromal cells, in the acquisition of allotolerance. Inbred, clonal and cytogenetically- marked Xenopus are used in this work.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Thymic stromal factors promoting t-cell leukemia [PDF]
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignancy of T cell precursors that affects mainly children and young adults, disseminates throughout the body invading several organs, and fatal without early diagnosis and appropriate ...

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...

Enhancing thymic function improves T-cell reconstitution and immune responses in aged mice.
Age-related thymic involution leads to diminished output of naïve T-cells. While this process is suggested to increase the risk of disease severity in the elderly following infection, direct evidence is lacking.

Microbial and host‐derived biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of peri‐implant diseases
Abstract Objectives To critically evaluate the current evidence on microbial and host‐derived biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of peri‐implant diseases, with emphasis on their biological relevance, potential clinical utility, and current translational limitations.
