Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents a significant global health challenge with no effective therapies developed to date. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) have recently emerged as a potential therapy due to their critical roles in maintaining immune homeostasis, reducing inflammation, and promoting brain repair. Following TBI, fluctuations in Treg populations and shifts in their functionality have been noted. However, the precise impact of Tregs on the pathophysiology of TBI remains unclear. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the intricate roles of Tregs in TBI and other brain diseases. Increased knowledge about Tregs may facilitate their future application as an immunotherapy target for TBI treatment.

MAPK4 inhibits the early aberrant activation of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis by promoting the IRF4-SHIP1 signaling pathway.

The involvement of B lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is well-established, with their early and aberrant activation being a crucial factor. However, the mechanisms underlying this abnormal activation in RA remain incompletely understood. In this study, we identified a significant reduction in MAPK4 expression in both RA patients and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models, which correlates with disrupted B cell activation.

: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment (TME), influencing the progression, prognosis, and response to treatment in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its precursors, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). This scoping review assesses the current literature on TILs in the TME of OSCC and OPMDs, aiming to identify trends and gaps in the research. : A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, using the following query terms: "Tumor Microenvironment AND (mouth neoplasms OR oral lichen OR leukoplakia OR oral lichenoid OR dysplasia OR GVHD OR lupus)".

In approximately half of the recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) cases, the underlying cause is unknown. However, most unexplained miscarriages are thought to be linked to immune dysfunction. This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the immunological evaluations of patients with RSA, with potential implications for clinical research.

Class IA PI3K p110δ and p110α subunits participate in TCR and costimulatory receptor signals involved in T cell-mediated immunity, but the role of p110α is not completely understood. Here, we analyzed a mouse model of the Cre-dependent functional inactivation of p110α (kinase dead) in T lymphocytes (p110αKD-T, KD). KD mice showed increased cellularity in thymus and spleen and altered T cell differentiation with increased number of CD4CD8 DP thymocytes, enhanced proportion of CD4 SP lymphocytes linked to altered apoptosis, lower Treg cells, and increased AKT and ERK phosphorylation in activated thymocytes.

Intrathecal immunoglobulin A (IgA) synthesis in multiple sclerosis (MS) has long earned little attention, despite a potential significance in disease pathogenesis and prognosis. The presence of IgA-positive plasma cells in MS lesions and along damaged axons suggests a role in disease pathogenesis. Available clinical evidence about a potential positive or negative prognostic role is scarce and inconclusive.
