The aim of this study was to investigate the interleukin-2 (IL-2) production in schizophrenic patients with different forms of disease and controls. 70 schizophrenic patients and 20 healthy subjects were studied. Results obtained have shown that the IL-2 production depend on the forms of disease and different forms of progression. The results showed normal IL-2 production in patients with most forms of progression and decreased IL-2 level in the group with least forms of progression of disease.

Oysters are well-known for their health benefits such as immuno-modulatory functions. The intestinal microbiome serves as a key mediator between diet and immune regulation. This study aimed to investigate whether oyster consumption could alleviate cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppression by promoting intestinal homeostasis.

Objective: The aim of this prospective cohort study is to analyse the humoral and cellular vaccine responses in paediatric heart transplant recipients (HTR, n = 12), and compare it with the response in healthy controls (HC, n = 14). All participants were 5-18 years old and vaccinated with mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 between December 2021 and May 2022.

Methods: The humoral response was measured by quantifying antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-S).

: is the leading cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and mucosal-associated lymphoma. Due to the emerging problems with antibiotic treatment against in clinical practice, vaccination has gained more interest. Oral immunization is considered a promising approach for preventing initial colonization of this bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract, establishing a first line of defense at gastric mucosal surfaces.

NKp46 enhances type 1 innate lymphoid cell proliferation and function and anti-acute myeloid leukemia activity.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Division of Hematology & Oncology, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA, 92697, USA.

NKp46 is a critical regulator of natural killer (NK) cell immunity, but its function in non-NK innate immune cells remains unclear. Here, we show that NKp46 is indispensable for expressing IL-2 receptor-α (IL-2Rα) by non-NK liver-resident type-1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). Deletion of NKp46 reduces IL-2Rα on ILC1s by downregulating NF-κB signaling, thus impairing ILC1 proliferation and cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo.
