Alterations in circulating CCL4 levels have been implicated in coronary artery disease (CAD), but the causal relationship and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to analyse the role of CCL4 and its receptor (CCR5) in CAD using Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis, bulk RNA and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). The MR analysis was used to determine the causal relationship between 91 circulating inflammatory proteins and CAD.

Nutritional and metabolic state in dairy cows are important determinants of the immune response. During the periparturient period, a state of negative energy balance in the cow increases plasma concentrations of fatty acids (FA), which are associated with inflammation. Among immune cells, CD4 T are able to function under high-FA conditions, but the underlying mechanisms regulating these events remain unclear.

Chemokine receptors play diverse roles in the immune response against pathogens by recruiting innate and adaptive immune cells to sites of infection. However, their involvement could also be detrimental, causing tissue damage and exacerbating respiratory diseases by triggering histological alterations such as fibrosis and remodeling. This chapter reviews the role of chemokine receptors in the immune defense against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Despite significant progress in modern medicine and pharmacology, damage to the nervous system with various etiologies still poses a challenge to doctors and scientists. Injuries lead to neuroimmunological changes in the central nervous system (CNS), which may result in both secondary damage and the development of tactile and thermal hypersensitivity. In our review, based on the analysis of many experimental and clinical studies, we indicate that the mechanisms occurring both at the level of the brain after direct damage and at the level of the spinal cord after peripheral nerve damage have a common immunological basis.

The 'Huangguan' pear is one of the high-quality pear cultivars produced in China. However, the bagged fruit of the 'Huangguan' pear often suffers from peel browning spots after rain during their mature period. In this study, in an effort to discover the impact of bagging treatments on the occurrence of peel browning spots and fruit quality, fruits were covered by single-layer, two-layer, or triple-layer paper bags six weeks after reaching full bloom.
