Obesity is a growing global burden with numerous significant health implications, including a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study investigates the role of obese adipose tissue on AD pathology in male APPswe/PSEN1-dE9 (APP/PSEN-1) transgenic mice, with a focus on cognitive decline, …

Oncology physiotherapists frequently provide care for patients experiencing severe immunosuppression. Exercise immunology, the science that studies the effects of exercise on the immune system, is a rapidly evolving field with direct relevance to oncology physiotherapists. Understanding oncology physiotherapists’ …

Clonal haematopoiesis of intermediate potential (CHIP) driven by somatic mutations in DNMT3A and TET2 has been recently recognized as a new risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The haematopoietic clones with mutations in these genes are frequently found in myeloid malignancies and according …

Introduction: Patients with cancer receiving radio- or chemotherapy undergo many immunological stressors. Chronic regular exercise has been shown to positively influence the immune system in several populations, while exercise overload may have negative effects. Exercise is currently recommended for …

This literature review will focus on how CRISPR/Cas can be used in curing diabetes. CRISPR is a newly discovered genetical engineering tool that was first found in bacteria and it has an important immune function, protecting them from viral infections by cutting the viral DNA, thereby disabling it. Researchers …

Skeletal muscle-related symptoms are common in both acute coronavirus disease (Covid)-19 and post-acute sequelae of Covid-19 (PASC). In this narrative review, we discuss cellular and molecular pathways that are affected and consider these in regard to skeletal muscle involvement in other conditions, …

The thoracic and peritoneal cavities are lined by serous membranes and are home of the serosal immune system. This immune system fuses innate and adaptive immunity, to maintain local homeostasis and repair local tissue damage, and to cooperate closely with the mucosal immune system. Innate lymphoid cells …

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by vasculopathy, tissue fibrosis and activation of the innate and adaptive immune system. Clinical features of the disease consists of skin thickening and internal organ involvement. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease …

Background Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive, neuroendocrine skin tumor with frequent local recurrence, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, and a high mortality rate. Viscum album extracts (VAE) are a widely used adjunct in cancer treatment and show cytotoxic and immune-modulating …

From the article: "Scope: During food processing, the Maillard reaction ( М R) may occur, resulting in the formation of glycated proteins. Glycated proteins are of particular importance in food allergies because glycation may influence interactions with the immune system. This study compared native …
