Inflammatory responses have been proposed as important factors in dopaminergic neuro-degeneration in Parkinsonism. Increasing evidence suggests that the alteration of the glial microenvironment induced by neuronal degeneration could be deleterious to the remaining neurons. The activation of microglia/macrophages and reactive astrocytes may have a negative effect on the surrounding parenchyma, perpetuating the neurodegenerative process. However, this alteration may also go beyond the brain parenchyma and stimulate other inflammatory changes in other systems, inducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines and probably Acute Phase Proteins (APP) and Glucocorticoids (GC). In this work we review the latest advances in the field to provide a picture of the state of the art of studies of inflammatory responses and Parkinsonism, hopefully opening up new therapeutic perspectives for patients with Parkinson's disease.

The increased incidence of inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and tumors in elderly individuals is closely associated with several well-established features of immunosenescence, including reduced B cell genesis and dampened immune responses. Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of dual receptor lymphocytes in tumors and autoimmune diseases. This study utilized shared data generated through scRNA-seq + scBCR-seq technology to investigate the presence of dual receptor-expressing B cells in the peritoneum of mouse and peripheral blood of healthy volunteers, and whether there are age-related differences in dual receptor B cell populations.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Pathogenic microorganisms can infect a variety of niches in the human body. During infection, microbes can only persist if they adapt adequately to the dynamic host environment and the stresses imposed by the immune system. While viruses entirely rely on host cells to replicate, bacteria and fungi use their pathogenicity mechanisms for the acquisition of essential nutrients that lie under host restriction.
