The imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses mediated by Th17 and Treg cells is deeply involved in the development and progression of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Several clinical and experimental studies have described the Th17/Treg imbalance in COPD progression. Due to its importance, many studies have also evaluated the effect of different treatments targeting Th17/Treg cells. However, discrepant results have been observed among different lung compartments, different COPD stages or local and systemic markers. Thus, the data must be carefully examined. In this context, this review explores and summarizes the recent outcomes of Th17/Treg imbalance in COPD development and progression in clinical, experimental and studies.

Background: Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) is a common kidney disease in children, and the main clinical manifestations are hypoproteinaemia, proteinuria, hyperlipidaemia, and oedema. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are involved in tissue repair, protection against fibrosis, and immune modulation but have rarely been studied in INS.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) in INS using an adriamycin-induced nephropathy (AN) rat model.

Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM) cases increased sharply in India during the second COVID-19 wave. Due to uncontrolled hyperglycemia, prolonged steroid use, and high ferritin levels, the immune system was dysregulated throughout this surge. Our study examined post-COVID-19 ROCM patients' T regulatory cell (Treg), T helper 17 cell (Th17) and Myeloid derived suppressor cell (MDSC) levels before and after three months of treatment.

Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) obvious manifestation is the imbalance of Th17/Treg. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is an important regulator of Th17/Treg balance. However, few reports narrate how m6A regulators mediate the role of genes in GO progression.

The etiology of gallbladder cancer (GBC) is multifactorial, with chronic inflammation resulting from infections, autoimmune diseases, and lifestyle factors playing a pivotal role. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders and various malignancies, including GBC. Research on autoimmune diseases highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D, suggesting its potential to mitigate disease progression.
