IntroductionThe impact of spaceflight on the immune system and mitochondria has been investigated for decades. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying spaceflight-induced immune dysregulations are still unclear.MethodsIn this study, blood from ele…
IntroductionThis study aimed to identify new clinical phenotypes of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) using a principal components analysis (PCA)-based cluster analysis.MethodsA total of 189 patients with MPA between May 2005 and December 2021 were enroll…
IntroductionImmunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT), either intravenous (IVIg) or subcutaneous (SCIg), is crucial for managing primary immune deficiencies (PIDs) with hypogammaglobulinemia by reducing infection rates and mortality. During the COVID-1…
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common respiratory disease, Cordycepin has been reported to reduce ALI, which is an effective component in Cordyceps militaris solid medium extract (CMME). Therefore, we aimed to explore the alleviating effect and mechanism…
BackgroundIt is well-documented that house dust mite (HDM) exposure can cause tissue damage and activate innate immune responses. However, its role in promoting gastrointestinal sensitization and allergenicity to food proteins has been relatively unexp…
Sex differences play a role in the pathogenesis of a number of viral diseases. In HIV-1, several studies have reported that chronically infected women have significantly lower plasma viremia than men, although the exact mechanism by which this occurs h…
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the recognition of viral particles and activation of the innate immune system, but their role in SARS-CoV-2 infection is still poorly characterized. In the present study, we investigated the role of …
IntroductionSwine brucellosis, caused by Brucella suis, is a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. Currently, there are no available human or porcine vaccines to protect against B. suis infection, which is primarily acquired through the mucosa. We rec…
IntroductionImmunoglobulin (Ig) refers to the nomenclature for all antibody proteins produced by B lymphocytes. The genetic locus encoding Ig is critical for vertebrate humoral immune responses and diverse antibody repertoires. Despite the critical rol…
Mastitis, an inflammatory condition affecting more than 25% of breastfeeding women, is usually associated with reduced milk secretion, pain, and discomfort, which often leads to early cessation of breastfeeding. Although the etiology of mastitis is mul…
