Rising cases of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in India, especially in metropolitan cities is an increasing concern. The individuals that were most affected are young professionals working in the corporate sector. However, the corporate sector has remained the least explored for T2D risk predisposition.

Gastric cancer ranks fifth in both world prevalence and lethality, with a 5-year survival of less than 30%. HLA-G, a non-classical class I HLA gene, has emerged as a potential marker for cancer susceptibility and prognosis due to its immunomodulatory properties. Its level of expression is regulated by polymorphisms in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) polymorphisms, which form various combined haplotypes (UTR-1 to -9).

Introduction: Urothelial bladder cancer is frequent and exhibits diverse prognoses influenced by molecular subtypes, urothelial subtype histology, and immune microenvironments. HLA-G, known for immune regulation, displays significant membranous expression in tumor tissues.
Methods: We studied the protein expression of Human Leucocyte Antigen G (HLA-G) in 241 Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) patients, elucidating its potential clinical and biological significance.

Antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation during the early stages of HIV-1 infection is associated with a higher probability of maintaining drug-free viral control during subsequent treatment interruptions, for reasons that remain unclear. Using samples from a randomized-controlled human clinical trial evaluating therapeutic HIV-1 vaccines, we here show that early ART commencement is frequently associated with accelerated and efficient selection of genome-intact HIV-1 proviruses in repressive chromatin locations during the first year after treatment initiation. This selection process was unaffected by vaccine-induced HIV-1-specific T cell responses.

Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) is known as a non-classical molecule of the major histocompatibility complex class Ib and downregulates the mother's immune response against the fetus during pregnancy, thereby generating immune tolerance. Due to the latter effect, HLA-G is also referred to as an immune checkpoint molecule. Originally identified on extravillous trophoblasts, HLA-G is already known to induce immune tolerance at various stages of the immune response, for example through cell differentiation and proliferation, cytolysis and cytokine secretion.
