Background: A considerable proportion (21%) of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) suffers from depression. These subjects are characterized by reduced naïve T cells and a premature T cell senescence similar to that of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). It is known that T cells are essential for limbic system development/function.

Thymic and T-cell intrinsic critical roles associated with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency and Omenn syndrome due to a heterozygous variant (G201R) in PSMB10.

Background: Heterozygous immunoproteasome subunit beta-type 10 (PSMB10) mutations can cause severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and Omenn syndrome (OS). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in these patients is associated with severe complications and poor immune reconstitution, often resulting in death.

Objective: To perform immunological and molecular characterization of an infant with a PSMB10 heterozygous variant.

Acute exposure to ozone (O) causes upper and lower airway inflammation. We and others have previously demonstrated that O oxidizes lipids, particularly cholesterol, into electrophilic oxysterols, such as secosterol B (SecoB), which can adduct proteins, thus altering cellular signaling pathways. To investigate how O-derived oxysterols influence cytokine and chemokine release, nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) from healthy donors ( = 18 donors) were exposed to 0.

Changes in senescence markers after a weight loss intervention in older adults with obesity.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how weight loss affects aging-related biological markers (specifically SASP) in older adults with obesity, using a six-month telemedicine weight loss program for participants aged 65 and older with a BMI of 30 kg/m or more.
  • - Participants who successfully lost at least 5% of their body weight showed significant improvements in physical function and other health markers, with specific SASP cytokines showing strong associations with their outcomes.
  • - The results suggest that intentional weight loss may enhance functional abilities in older adults, but further research with randomized trials is needed to confirm these findings and explore additional biomarkers.

Syringic acid improves cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression in a mouse model.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun

Syringic acid (SA), a naturally occurring phenolic substance present in many edible plants and fruits, has been shown to have potential in immunoenhancement applications. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of SA in mitigating cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced immunosuppression in BALB/c mice using doxycycline as a positive control. SA administration prevented immune organ atrophy and morphological changes in the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow induced by CYP treatment in mice while also showing a dose-dependent enhancement of thymus and spleen indices compared to mice treated with CYP alone.
