The effects of intracerebroventricularly applied ghrelin on thymocytes and thymic architecture in rats of different ages [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020
Ghrelin positively influences the total number of thymocytes and size of the thymus in 14-, 20- and 24-month-old rats. We examined the effect of centrally-applied ghrelin on thymus weight and structure in Wistar rats of different ages. The study included

Thymus Atrophy and Double-Positive Escape Are Common Features in Infectious Diseases

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ in which bone marrow-derived T-cell precursors undergo differentiation, leading to migration of positively selected thymocytes to the T-cell-dependent areas of secondary lymphoid organs.

Neuroendocrine Control of Macrophage Development and Function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Macrophages carry out numerous physiological activities that are essential for both systemic and local homeostasis, as well as innate and adaptive immune responses. Their biology is intricately regulated by hormones, neuropeptides, and neurotransmitters,

Oral Versus Intragastric Inoculation: Similar Pathways of Trypanosoma cruzi Experimental Infection? From Target Tissues, Parasite Evasion, and Immune Response

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Currently, oral infection is the most frequent transmission mechanism of Chagas disease in Brazil and others Latin American countries. This transmission pathway presents increased mortality rate in the first 2 weeks, which is higher than the calculated ...

A novel, ataxic mouse model of ataxia telangiectasia caused by a clinically relevant nonsense mutation

eLife, 2021
Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) and Ataxia with Ocular Apraxia Type 1 (AOA1) are devastating neurological disorders caused by null mutations in the genome stability genes, A-T mutated (ATM) and Aprataxin (APTX), respectively.

Tumours of the Thymus [PDF]

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 1975
A series of 22 consecutive cases of thymic tumour was collected and the tumours were reclassified according to a modified classification scheme. Two-thirds of them were benign lympho-epitheliomas, though in one case pleural implants were noted. One-third of the tumours were clearly malignant (carcinomas, lymphomas and seminomas).

The Neuropeptides Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Control HIV-1 Infection in Macrophages Through Activation of Protein Kinases A and C

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are highly similar neuropeptides present in several tissues, endowed with immunoregulatory functions and other systemic effects.
