Trained Immunity in Childhood Vaccination
Trained immunity as an emerging concept in paediatric vaccinology. Trained immunity links vaccine stimuli through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming to enhanced innate immune cell function, thereby strengthening protection against diverse pathogens while promoting adaptive immune responses through more efficient antigen presentation and co ...

Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells in Clinical Practice
Dendritic cells (DC) play a critical role in maintaining immune tolerance to self-antigens and have become a promising immunotherapeutic tool for treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Tolerogenic DC (tolDC) with stable immunosuppressive function can be generated in the laboratory. These modified tolDC induce anti- gen-specific

Dendritic cell function in the setting of chronic hepatitis c infection and changes during antiviral treatment [PDF]
The role of the innate immune system and in particular of dendritic cells, in the establishment of chronic hepatitis C has been studied quite extensively over the last few years but controversy remains as to whether a potential virus-induced defect in

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.

Nanoparticles loaded with IL-2 and TGF-β promote transplantation tolerance to alloantigen
We have previously reported that nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with IL-2 and TGF-β and targeted to T cells induced polyclonal T regulatory cells (Tregs) that protected mice from graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Metabolism Is Central to Tolerogenic Dendritic Cell Function
Immunological tolerance is a fundamental tenant of immune homeostasis and overall health. Self-tolerance is a critical component of the immune system that allows for the recognition of self, resulting in hyporeactivity instead of immunogenicity ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as
