Interleukin-9 (IL-9), IL-10, and IL-13 concentrations are significantly higher in BIA-ALCL than in benign seromas, offering a means to distinguish between these conditions.
Objectives: The aim of this research was to test the ability of a lateral flow assay (LFA) to detect high concentrations of IL-9 rapidly.
This study investigates a mechanistic link of bacterial biofilm-mediated host-pathogen interaction leading to immunological complications associated with breast implant illness (BII). Over 10 million women worldwide have breast implants. In recent years, women have described a constellation of immunological symptoms believed to be related to their breast implants.
