Discovery and validation of Ferroptosis-related molecular patterns and immune characteristics in Alzheimer's disease.

Background: To date, the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is still not fully elucidated. Much evidence suggests that Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD, but little is known about its molecular immunological mechanisms. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively analyse and explore the molecular mechanisms and immunological features of Ferroptosis-related genes in the pathogenesis of AD.

Th17 helper cell and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 involvement in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Objective And Design: We investigated the involvement of Th17 cells and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in comparison to healthy subjects.

Materials And Subjects: Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 29 healthy subjects and 29 GBS patients.

Treatment: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and CD4(+) T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs, in the absence or presence of anti-TIM-3 mAb.
