Clarification of a unique mucosal vaccination route for improved systemic and mucosal immune response in broiler.

There are often outbreaks of infectious diseases on farms, which not only disrupt production but also cause significant economic losses. Vaccines are given to prevent the spread of these infectious diseases, but they produce only systemic antibodies or antibodies in the mucosa of a particular system. So, a new mucosal vaccination route is needed where the vaccine will produce antibodies in the systemic circulation as well as in the mucosa of many systems.

Lipidomic study of kidney in a mouse model with urine flow obstruction.

Obstructed urine flow is known to cause structural and functional kidney damage leading to renal fibrosis. However, limited information is available on the change in kidney lipids during urinary tract obstruction. In this study, we investigated the change in lipidome in a mouse model with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).

Roles of tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A in γδT-cell activation and psoriasis pathogenesis.

Background: Interleukin (IL)-17-producing γδT (γδT17) cells mediate inflammatory responses in barrier tissues. Dysregulated γδT17 cell activation can lead to the overproduction of IL-17 and IL-22 and the development of inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis. IL-23 and IL-1β are known to synergistically activate γδT17 cells, but the regulatory mechanisms of γδT17 cells have not been fully elucidated.

Systemic autoimmune abnormalities alter the morphology of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues in the rectum of MRL/MpJ-Fas mice.

Systemic autoimmune diseases (ADs) might affect the morphology and function of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (LTs) indirectly; however, their exact relationship remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated mouse LTs in the anorectal canal and morphologically compared them between MRL/MpJ-Fas and MRL/MpJ-Fas mice. LT aggregations, also known as rectal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (RMALTs), were exclusively seen in the lamina propria and submucosa of the rectum.
