The term "gastrointestinal neuromuscular disease" can be interpreted variably and encompasses a spectrum of paediatric and adult conditions including achalasia, pseudoobstruction, idiopathic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, megacolon, and Hirschsprung disease. Although progress has been made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of some conditions, the aetiopathogenesis has been elucidated only in the rare minority. This review critically considers the available evidence for possible pathogenic mechanisms in these disorders.

Helminth extracellular vesicles co-opt host monocytes to drive T cell anergy.
J Extracell Vesicles
January 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Parasitic helminths secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) into their host tissues to modulate immune responses, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We demonstrate that Ascaris EVs are efficiently internalised by monocytes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and increase the percentage of classical monocytes. Furthermore, EV treatment of monocytes induced a novel anti-inflammatory phenotype characterised by CD14, CD16, CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) cells.

Microb Cell Fact
January 2025
Lab of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Nova Gorica, Vipavska cesta 13, Nova Gorica, 5000, Slovenia.
Background: E. coli still remains the most commonly used organism to produce recombinant proteins in research labs. This condition is mirrored by the attention that researchers dedicate to understanding the biology behind protein expression, which is then exploited to improve the effectiveness of the technology.

PANoptosis is one of several modes of programmed cell death (PCD) and plays an important role in many inflammatory and immune diseases. The role of PANoptosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is currently unknown. Differentially expressed PANoptosis-related genes (DE-PRGs) were identified, and pathway enrichment analyses were performed.

Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Objectives: To report myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) epidemiology in two American regions using 2023 diagnostic criteria.
Patients And Methods: We compared age- and sex-adjusted incidence and prevalence of MOGAD per 2023 diagnostic criteria in Olmsted County (Minnesota [USA]) and Martinique (Caribbean [FR]) (01/01/2003-12/31/2018, prevalence day) using Poisson regression. Archived sera in 68-85% were available for MOG-IgG testing by live cell-based assay at Mayo Clinic.
Mutations disrupting the kinase domain of IKKα lead to immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation in humans.
J Exp Med
February 2025
Laboratory of Immunogenetics of Pediatric Autoimmune Diseases, INSERM UMR 1163, Imagine Institute, University Paris Cité, Paris, France.
IKKα, encoded by CHUK, is crucial in the non-canonical NF-κB pathway and part of the IKK complex activating the canonical pathway alongside IKKβ. The absence of IKKα causes fetal encasement syndrome in humans, fatal in utero, while an impaired IKKα-NIK interaction was reported in a single patient and causes combined immunodeficiency. Here, we describe compound heterozygous variants in the kinase domain of IKKα in a female patient with hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent lung infections, and Hay-Wells syndrome-like features.
