Natural killer (NK) cells are a critical component of the innate immune system and one of the immune cells most sensitive to exercise. So far, it is widely believed that moderate exercise can significantly enhance the proliferation and activity of NK cells, strengthening immune function. However, the impact of exercise on NK cells is a dynamic and complex process.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people with some pathological mechanisms including immune disorder, neuroinflammation, white matter injury and abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein, etc. New research suggests that white matter injury may be important in the development of PD, but how inflammation, the immune system, and white matter damage interact to harm dopamine neurons is not yet understood. Therefore, it is particularly important to delve into the crosstalk between immune cells in the central and peripheral nervous system based on the study of white matter damage in PD.

In this data article, we performed RNA sequence analysis of mRNA isolated from epididymal adipose tissue and gastrocnemius muscle tissue in obese rats. Twenty-two samples were selected for gene expression analysis.

Within the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune effector T cells encounter both immunosuppressive cells and factors that hinder their functionality. Additionally, they endure robust and persistent antigenic stimulation, often leading to exhaustion and apoptosis.
