Allergic asthma is a chronic disease tied to unusual immune reactions involving type 2 T helper (Th2) cells specific to allergens. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in guiding T-cell responses. Regulatory T (Treg) cells have the ability to suppress effector T-cell responses, and interleukin (IL)-38 is involved in Treg cell differentiation.

Background: Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is a disease-modifying therapy and is effective to reduce the symptoms of grass pollen-allergy. The airway epithelium of these patients releases inflammatory mediators including type-2 cytokines, which are associated with cellular processes involved in the symptomatic response of the affected tissue. Aim of the study was to identify epithelial biomarkers indicating AIT progress.

Background And Objectives: Autoimmune-associated epilepsy (AAE), a condition which responds favorably to immune therapies but not traditional anti-seizure interventions, is emerging as a significant contributor to cases of drug-resistant epilepsy. Current standards for the diagnosis of AAE rely on screening for known neuronal autoantibodies in patient serum or cerebrospinal fluid. However, this diagnostic method fails to capture a subset of drug-resistant epilepsy patients with suspected AAE who respond to immunotherapy yet remain seronegative (snAAE) for known autoantibodies.

Currently, only 20% to 40% of patients with cancer benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and characterizing dynamic changes in the immunologic landscape during treatment are critical for improving responsiveness to immunotherapy. In this study, we identified JNK signaling in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) as a regulator of the immunosuppressive TME.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the utilization of biologic therapies for the management of asthma. Both TSLP and IgE are important immune molecules in the development of asthma, and they are involved in the occurrence and regulation of inflammatory response.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted to gather information on anti-TSLP antibody and anti-IgE antibody.
