Environment has both pathogenic and protective roles in the determination of autoimmune disease development, possibly through infectious agents. TLR2 has the capability to recognize the widest range of PAMPs, and it is important for the recognition of mycobacteria and gram-positive bacteria. Here we review recent information showing that TLR2 ligands, its signaling machinery and the effects of its engagement on T cell polarization and differentiation, all play a decisive role in experimental models of autoimmunity. Thus, we propose that engagement of TLR2 is an important crossroad between encounter with bacteria and development of self-reactive diseases.

Background: Although the SARS-CoV-2 and dengue viruses seriously endanger human health, there is presently no vaccine that can stop a person from contracting both viruses at the same time. In this study, four antigens from SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus were tested for immunogenicity, antigenicity, allergenicity, and toxicity and chosen to predict dominant T- and B-cell epitopes.
Methods: For designing a multi-epitope vaccine, the sequences were retrieved, and using bioinformatics and immunoinformatics, the physicochemical and immunological properties, as well as secondary structures, of the vaccine were predicted and studied.

Obesity affects the adaptability of adipose tissue (AT), impairing its ability to regulate energy and metabolism. Obesity is associated with many metabolic disorders, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, sleep disorders, non-alcoholic liver disease, and some types of cancer. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important in obesity and related metabolic disorders.

STING is an important DNA sensing machinery in initiating immune response, yet therapies targeting STING have shown poor outcomes in clinical trials. Here, we reveal that STING signaling induces PD-L1 tumor monocytes (Tu.Mons) that dominate the resistance against STING agonist therapy.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical condition with limited early detection biomarkers and therapeutic options. This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes and potential microRNAs (miRNAs) as detection and therapeutic targets for AKI using bioinformatics-based analysis.
Patient Concerns: The study focuses on AKI as a major health concern with a need for improved biomarkers to monitor and treat this condition effectively.
