Background: Leishmania is an intracellular flagellate protozoan parasite that causes a wide range of clinical diseases in humans. The basis of immunological resistance against leishmaniasis depends on Thl reactions and is within the time period of cytokine function.

Methods: In this study, human anti-IL17 antibody and IFNγ-producing promastigote were produced to be used in leishmanization.

Background: Repeated implantation failure (RIF) affects 15% of women of reproductive age. There is a high endometrial expression of both estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors (PRs) during the window of implantation in women with RIF.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of intrauterine administration of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) on estrogen receptor α (ERα) and PRs expression in the endometrium of women with RIF during the implantation window.

Liver damage occurs following renal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) that can cause inflammation and inflammatory cytokines activated after kidney injury. In this study, thyme essential oil (TE) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties was used to reduce liver damage induced by renal IR. 32 male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups: (1) control, (2) RIR, (3) RIR+TE, and (4) TE.

Background: As the new pandemic created by COVID-19 virus created the need of rapid acquisition of a suitable vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 to develop Immunity and to reduce the mortality, the aim of this study was to identify SARS-CoV-2 S protein and N antigenic epitopes by using immunoinformatic methods to design a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, for which S and N protein-dependent epitopes are predicted. B cell, CTL and HTL were determined based on antigenicity, allergenicity and toxicity that were non-allergenic, non-toxic, and antigenic and were selected for the design of a multi-epitope vaccine structure. Then, in order to increase the safety of Hbd-3 and Hbd-2 as adjuvants, they were connected to the N and C terminals of the vaccine construct, respectively, with a linker.

The archived blood of rodents species such as , , and species was investigated in order to detect any piroplasms species. In this study 18S rRNA target gene of piroplasm parasite was amplified by PCR in a ; so, the Locus 1 and Locus 2 of 18S rRNA were sequenced, successfully. A -like taxa was suspected in accordance with the BLAST analysis of 18S rRNA L1 and L2 with 96% and 91% sequence homology, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • About 10% of infertile patients experience repeated implantation failures (RIFs) during IVF treatments, making successful implantation reliant on immune responses.
  • A study with 250 couples tested the effects of cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on pregnancy outcomes after embryo transfer, revealing a higher clinical pregnancy rate in the PBMC group (34.4%) compared to the control (23.4%), although not statistically significant overall.
  • In patients with three or more RIFs, there was a significant improvement in clinical pregnancy rates for the PBMC group (38.6%) versus the control (19.7%), suggesting PBMC transfer could enhance fertility treatment for these patients.
