BackgroundNon-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) represent a heterogeneous group of B-cell-derived malignancies. Previous studies showed that tumor immune microenvironment (TIM) components are associated with tumor development and progression. Furthermore, recent…
Although anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is commonly used as prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), there is considerable inter-patient variability in ATG exposure. Th…
IntroductionNatural autoantibodies (nAAbs) contribute to immune homeostasis and may be altered in patients with autoimmune diseases. While anti-heat shock protein (Hsp) antibodies have been previously described in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), t…
BackgroundAn imbalance of gut microbiota, their metabolites as well as inflammatory mediators have been increasingly linked to both atherosclerosis and stroke. However, data on microbiota derived tryptophan and histidine metabolites in carotid atherosc…
The role of saturated fatty acid-induced immunometabolic stress in macrophage dysfunction during metabolic disease remains incompletely understood, particularly the interplay between inflammatory signaling and intracellular lipid handling. We employed …
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), a family of innate immune cells of lymphoid origin, serve as first responders to tissue damage and inflammation. They play a crucial role in defending mammals against tumor growth. ILCs can migrate between organs, move wit…
BackgroundAirborne pollutants comprise biological agents such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and engineered nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are increasingly prevalent in industrial and consumer applications. Although the pulmonary …
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with poorly understood and complex pathophysiology with interplay between many immune and stromal cells. While the T cell infiltrate in HS is well-documented, the relationship between…
Early developmental stages of teleost fish represent vulnerable phases of the life cycle, characterized by exposure to fluctuating abiotic and biotic environmental conditions. Immune system maturation is gradual, beginning with reliance on maternally t…
BackgroundFamilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary condition that almost invariably leads to colorectal cancer. While TP53 inactivation is well established as a late event in the adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence, its functional role during the…
