Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 recognizes and responds to threats early in bacterial infections and can influence the downstream immune response to the host's benefit or detriment. Therapeutic modulation of TLR2 signaling represents an underutilized opportunity to moderate the immune response to infection to promote an improved outcome for the host.

Mannose oligosaccharide (MOS) has been shown to promote animal growth, maintain intestinal health, and activate the intestinal immune system. However, the question of whether MOS can stimulate the immune system and alleviate acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced gut damage remains unresolved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of MOS pretreatment on the immunological and anti-inflammatory capabilities of rats with ASA-induced intestinal injury.

Background: Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, but their dynamics are altered in a subset of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) known as immunological non-responders (INRs). INRs fail to reconstitute CD4 T-cell counts despite viral suppression. This study aimed to examine Treg dysregulation in INRs, comparing them to immunological responders (IRs) and healthy controls (HCs).

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic and incurable skin inflammation driven by an abnormal immune response. Our study aims to investigate the potential of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) primed mesenchymal stem cells (IMSCs) in targeting T cells to attenuate psoriasis-like inflammation, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involved.
Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the umbilical cord and identified based on their surface markers.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are innate immune cells that exert far reaching influence over the tumor microenvironment (TME). Depending on cues within the local environment, TAMs may promote tumor angiogenesis, cancer cell invasion and immunosuppression, or, alternatively, inhibit tumor progression via neoantigen presentation, tumoricidal reactive oxygen species generation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Therefore, TAMs have a pivotal role in determining tumor progression and response to therapy.

Most cervical cancers are related to the persistent infections of high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Increasing evidence has witnessed the immunosuppressive effectiveness of HPV in the oncogenesis steps and progression steps. Here we review the immune response in HPV-related cervical malignancies and discuss the crosstalk between HPVs and the host immune response.
