Semin Immunol. 2025 Oct 6;80:101997. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101997. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT The IL-1 family comprises 11 cytokines, including IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), IL-18, IL-33, and IL-36 cytokines to IL-37 and IL-38, that modulate innate immune system activity. In addition to their role in innate immunity, IL-1 family members can activate and enhance … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Sep 30;80:101995. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101995. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Reovirus is one of the most clinically investigated oncolytic viruses, with over 50 clinical trials and more than 1700 patients treated to date. Although it has yet to achieve complete regulatory approval, reovirus remains a promising oncolytic virus candidate for cancer immunotherapy due … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Sep 29;80:101996. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101996. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a rhabdovirus with intrinsic oncolytic properties, has emerged as a promising candidate for cancer therapy. Thanks to impaired antiviral responses affecting cancer cells, particularly downregulated type I interferon signaling, VSV selectively replicates in tumor cells while sparing normal cells. … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Sep 23;80:101994. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101994. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) is a novel approach to cancer treatment that utilizes viruses to infect and destroy tumor cells selectively. Beyond direct oncolysis, OVT significantly reshapes the tumor microenvironment (TME), activating the adaptive immune system to generate robust and durable anti-tumor immunity. This … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Aug 30;80:101984. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101984. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT The intestinal mucosa employs a diverse set of defense mechanisms-from mucosal barrier regulation to immunoregulatory pathways-to maintain homeostasis despite constant exposure to microbial and dietary antigens. Failure to establish immune tolerance to food antigens can lead to pathological conditions such as celiac disease … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Aug 28;79:101983. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101983. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT In Type 1 diabetes (T1D), pancreatic β cells are progressively lost, resulting in insulin insufficiency. Although exogenous insulin is essential for disease management, it is not a cure, and inadequate glycemic control continues to result in long-term complications. Thus, there is a need … Read more

ABSTRACT Neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) occur in more than half of patients with SLE, with symptoms including fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain, psychosis, and cognitive dysfunction. These symptoms are often present at the time of diagnosis of SLE and can be insidious. … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Aug 7;79:101982. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101982. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Approximately 20 % of the global population reports adverse reactions to foods, with food allergy and celiac disease being the most well-characterized conditions. Although they involve distinct pathological mechanisms, both are recognized as antigen-driven immune disorders and potentially sharing unidentified genetic and environmental … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Jul 29;79:101980. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101980. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary liver tumor and is currently a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The arrival of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), and their combination with anti-VEGF/VEGFR antibodies, has transformed the treatment of patients with advanced HCC. Still, … Read more

Semin Immunol. 2025 Jul 21;79:101979. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2025.101979. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Early studies on T helper (Th) 9 cells and their specific cytokine IL-9 mainly focused on the field of allergic diseases. In addition to pathological studies, IL-9 can also affect the normal development and various functions of T cells and B cells. In … Read more
