IL-33 promotes sciatic nerve regeneration in mice by modulating macrophage polarization.

Despite the innate regenerative capacity of peripheral nerves, regeneration after a severe injury is insufficient, and sensorimotor recovery is incomplete. As a result, finding alternative methods for improving regeneration and sensorimotor recovery is essential. In this regard, we investigated the effect of IL-33 treatment as a chemokine with neuroprotective properties.

Comparative study of SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers between male and female COVID-19 patients living in Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Recently, there is increasing evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes men to experience more serious symptoms and have a higher mortality rate than women, but the association between sex and immune response stays unknown till now, and weather patient's prognosis associated with sex or not is another vague in COVID-19. In this study, the SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody titer test was performed for 727 patients who were a positive RT-PCR result for COVID-19 and we determined the difference in immune response in both genders. Patients were divided into two groups based on their genders, which were 383 males and 344 females.
