AI Article Synopsis

  • Neuroblastoma survivors experience early signs of weakened immune response, particularly in their CD8 T cells, shortly after therapy.
  • They also show elevated levels of TNF-α in their plasma, indicating inflammation.
  • Over time, some signs of immune recovery are noted, but it's unclear if this recovery is permanent or temporary, especially given that late side effects are common in childhood cancer survivors.

Article Abstract

Neuroblastoma survivors show signs of immunosenescence early after therapy in CD8 T cell compartment and elevated plasma TNF-α but in later follow-up immune recovery comes into play. Whether the recovery phenotype is long lasting or transient remains to be elucidated, however, late adverse effects often occur in childhood cancer survivors.

Gut microbiota and its impact on critical illness.

Curr Opin Crit Care

Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS).

Purpose Of Review: This narrative review discusses the mechanisms connecting gut dysbiosis to adverse clinical outcomes in critically ill patients and explores potential therapeutic strategies.

Recent Findings: In recent years, the study of microbiota in ICUs has gained attention because of its potential effects on patient outcomes. Critically ill patients often face severe conditions, which can compromise their immune systems and lead to opportunistic infections from bacteria typically harmless to healthy individuals.

Single-Cell Sequencing of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Reveals Immune Landscape of Monkeypox Patients with HIV.

The monkeypox (MPXV) outbreak in 2022 is more prevalent among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While it is plausible that HIV-induced immunosuppression could result in a more severe progression, the exact mechanisms remain undetermined. To better understand the immunopathology of MPXV in patients with and without HIV infection, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 6 patients hospitalized for MPXV, 3 of whom had HIV infection (HIV antibody positive & HIV RNA level below the detection limit), and 3 patients only infected with MPXV (HIV-).

Platelets are blood cells that play an integral role in hemostasis and the innate immune response. Platelet hyper- and hypoactivity have been implicated in metabolic disorders, increasing risk for both thrombosis and bleeding. Platelet activation and metabolism are tightly linked, with the numerous methods to measure the former but relatively few for the latter.

Microglial phagocytosis of haematomas is crucial for neural functional recovery following intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), a process regulated by various factors from within and outside the central nervous system (CNS). Extracellular vesicles (EVs), significant mediators of intercellular communication, have been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of CNS diseases. However, the regulatory role of endogenous EVs on the phagocytic capacity of microglia post-ICH remains elusive.

Unlabelled: Experimental studies have demonstrated that nutritional changes during development can result in phenotypic changes to mammalian cheek teeth. This developmental plasticity of tooth morphology is an example of phenotypic plasticity. Because tooth development occurs through complex interactions between manifold processes, there are many potential mechanisms which can contribute to a tooth's norm of reaction.
