A Clinical Laboratory Study of a Non-Classical Case of Celiac Disease: How to Anticipate the Diagnosis.

Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune pathological condition caused by the intake of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Despite its wide prevalence, it remains an underdiagnosed disease since a large percentage of individuals who suffer from the condition do not have the classic symptoms described for the disease. We present the case of a 43-year-old man with severe iron deficiency and asthenia.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Suppress Dendritic Cells and Modulate Proinflammatory Milieu Through Interleukin-10 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Human Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory injury among systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) individuals may be involved by dendritic cells (DCs) abnormality though the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood.

Objective: This study aimed to elaborate MSCs' potential in suppressing abnormal DCs cell function on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) among SLE patients.

Methods: MSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord blood.

Oviposition performance of tephritid polyphagous Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata during three periods of exposure to fruit.
