Signatures of immune selection in intact and defective proviruses distinguish HIV-1 elite controllers
“…these findings further explain why some individuals may be able to control HIV-1 viral loads without ART.”
Diverse Roles of Mitochondria in Immune Responses: Novel Insights Into Immuno-Metabolism (2018)
“In this review, we have presented an updated prospective of the mitochondrial machinery that drives various immune responses.”
High-sucrose diets contribute to psychosis-related higher brain dysfunctions in mice
“Here, we demonstrate that a high-sucrose diet during adolescence induces psychosis-related behavioral endophenotypes, including hyperactivity, poor working memory, impaired sensory gating, and disrupted interneuron function in mice deficient for glyoxalase-1 […]
Oral antibiotic use and early-onset colorectal cancer: findings from a case-control study using a national clinical database
“Our findings suggest antibiotics may have a role in colon tumour formation across all age-groups.”
Research finds potential mechanism linking autism, intestinal inflammation
“When a mother experiences an infection during pregnancy and her immune system produces elevated levels of the molecule Interleukin-17a (IL-17a), that can not only alter brain development in her fetus, […]
Microplastics ingested orally accumulate in the brain
A joint research team at the Division of Biotechnology, DGIST, confirmed that microplastics(MPs) ingested orally accumulate in the brain and act as neurotoxic substances.
Debaryomyces is enriched in Crohn’s disease intestinal tissue and impairs healing in mice
“The salt-tolerant fungus Debaryomyces hansenii, used in the food industry for surface ripening cheese and meat products, is enriched in the inflamed mucosal tissues of patients with Crohn’s disease and […]
Mouse Study Reveals Subset of Immune Cells May Promote Inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis
“Collectively, our data define a population of inflammatory ILC3s that is essential for directly promoting T-cell-dependent neuroinflammation in the CNS and reveal the potential of harnessing peripheral tissue-resident ILC3s for […]
Researchers study the link between vitamin D and inflammation
“Our work demonstrates a mechanism by which vitamin D reduces inflammation caused by T cells. These are important cells of the immune system and implicated as part of the immune […]
