Coenzyme A fueling with pantethine limits autoreactive T cell pathogenicity in experimental neuroinflammation.

Background: Immune cell metabolism governs the outcome of immune responses and contributes to the development of autoimmunity by controlling lymphocyte pathogenic potential. In this study, we evaluated the metabolic profile of myelin-specific murine encephalitogenic T cells, to identify novel therapeutic targets for autoimmune neuroinflammation.

Methods: We performed metabolomics analysis on actively-proliferating encephalitogenic T cells to study their overall metabolic profile in comparison to resting T cells.

Hydatid Cysts of the Psoas Muscle: Insights from the Past Five Years.

Echinococcosis represents a major public health issue and continues to be endemic in various regions around the world. Hydatid cysts are commonly located in the liver (primary site), followed by the lungs (secondary site). However, they are also found in less typical organs such as the spleen, kidneys, peritoneum, retroperitoneum, pancreas, gallbladder, and various other organs, as well as in striate muscles.

Anxiety and Depression in Advanced and Metastatic Lung Cancer Patients-Correlations with Performance Status and Type of Treatment.

: The treatment of advanced and metastatic lung cancer is multimodal, and it is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team. Anxiety and depression occur frequently in patients with lung cancer, creating considerable discomfort in therapeutic management. At the same time, these psychoemotional symptoms affect the patients' quality of life.

APOE4 affects neutrophil-microglia crosstalk in Alzheimer's disease.

Circulating immune cells contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their role is poorly understood. Rosenzweig et al. recently identified a subset of interleukin (IL)-17 neutrophils that inhibit neuroprotective microglia in female APOE4 carriers.
