In this paper we analyzed the expression of cytokine IL-6 in biopsy tissue of the kidneys in IgA-nephropathy patients in different age groups, its relationship with clinical and morphological picture of the disease. The study showed that IL-6 affects the formation of histopathological changes in kidney tissue and does not depend on the age of the patient. Given that the duration of the disease affects the expression of IL-6 expression in glomeruli (regardless of age of the patient) the role of IL-6 in the progression of the disease is confirmed.

This study identifies the secondary metabolites from Alternaria alternate and evaluates their ACE-2: Spike RBD (SARS-CoV-2) inhibitory activity confirmed via immunoblotting in human lung microvascular endothelial cells. In addition, their in vitro anti-inflammatory potential was assessed using a cell-based assay in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells.

Background: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) represents the only curative option for patients with irreversible intestinal failure. Nevertheless, its rejection rate surpasses that of other solid organ transplants due to the heightened immunological load of the gut. Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are key players in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance, suggesting their potential involvement in modulating host vs.

Problem: Regulatory B-cells (Bregs, CD19CD24CD38) are a specialized B-cell subset that suppresses immune responses and potentially contribute to the maintenance of an immune-privileged environment for fetal development during pregnancy. However, little is known about the surrounding immunological environment of Bregs in gestational physiology. The relationship of regulatory T-cells (Tregs, CD4CD25CD127FoxP3) to Bregs in coordinating immunoregulation during pregnancy is unknown.

Background: Sepsis is associated with myocardial injury and early mortality. The innate immune receptor Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) can recognize pathogen-associated-molecular-patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs); the latter are released during tissue injury. We hypothesized that TLR4 inhibition reduces proinflammatory signaling and cytokine release in: (1) LPS or Escherichia coli-treated isolated mouse heart; (2) LPS-treated mouse primary adult cardiomyocytes; and (3) the isolated heart during ischemia-reperfusion.
