In this study, we investigated the transport mechanism of immune-active peptide fragments isolated from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates via a Caco-2 monolayer. The casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates could stimulate B-lymphocyte proliferation and reduce the TNF-α level. Then, we identified the bioactive peptide fragments derived from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysis using LC-MS/MS. Our results demonstrated that the transport mechanism of five immune-active peptides at the cell level was bypass transport. In addition, the majority of peptide RYPLGYL was transported through the monolayer cell membrane as an intact form for playing immune-active functions. The KHPIK and FFSDK were mainly degraded into small fragments, except for a small amount passing through Caco-2 cells in an entire form. Overall, these results suggested that casein or its immune-active peptides might play a role in regulation of the intestinal immune system.

Background: The function of CD69 expressed on T cells in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the roles of CD69 on T cells in the disease process and in antiviral therapy for CHB.
Methods: We enrolled 335 treatment-naive patients with CHB and 93 patients with CHB on antiviral therapy.

Background: Prostate cancer ranks as the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Recent research highlights the crucial roles IL6ST-mediated signaling pathways play in the development and progression of various cancers, particularly through hyperactivated STAT3 signaling. However, the molecular programs mediated by IL6ST/STAT3 in prostate cancer are poorly understood.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is a heterogeneous disease but has traditionally been treated as an immunologically cold malignancy. The relationship between the immune-active cancer phenotype typified by a T helper 1 (Th-1) immune response and clinical outcome in OV remains uncertain.
Methods: A cohort-scale compendium of transcriptomic data from 2850 OV samples from 19 individual datasets was compiled for integrative immuno-transcriptomic analysis.

The primary emphasis of photoimmunology is the impact of nonionizing radiation on the immune system. With the development of terahertz (THz) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) technology, the biological effects of this emerging nonionizing radiation, particularly its influence on immune function, remain insufficiently explored but are progressively attracting attention. Here, we demonstrated that 0.
