Differences in the characteristics and functions of brain and spinal cord regulatory T cells.

T cells play an important role in the acquired immune response, with regulatory T cells (Tregs) serving as key players in immune tolerance. Tregs are found in nonlymphoid and damaged tissues and are referred to as "tissue Tregs". They have tissue-specific characteristics and contribute to immunomodulation, homeostasis, and tissue repair through interactions with tissue cells.

Increased neutrophils in inflammatory bowel disease accelerate the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the neurodegenerative diseases and characterized by the appearance and accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates and phosphorylated tau with aging. The aggregation of Aβ, which is the main component of senile plaques, is closely associated with disease progression. App mice, a mouse model of AD, have three familial AD mutations in the amyloid-β precursor gene and exhibit age-dependent AD-like symptoms and pathology.
