T-cells may be activated to proliferate and differentiate, but if they should be of the Treg type (regulatory T-cells), they will produce immunosuppressive cytokines and thus promote tolerance. Adaptive immune responses can develop in three directions, of which the “default” is tolerance. Type...
This is partly because the protein that enables SARS−COV-2 entry into the cell, angiotensin−COnverting enzyme 2 (ACE 2), is widely distributed in the testis, including spermatogonia, the Leydig and Sertoli cells. Hikemet et al., reported that amongst over 150 investigated cell types, ...

The third comprises the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR), mainly categorized into NKP30, NKP44, NKP46, and NP80 [44]. NKP30 and NKP46 are expressed on NK cells before activation; however, NKP44 is expressed only after activation [44]. These activating receptors help NK cells lyse the ...
The best way to do this is by eating healthy during the rest of the week, and when the day of the party arrives, make sure to get a strenuous workout in right before the party. This makes muscle tissue more sensitive to the hormone insulin, while simultaneously making fat cells less se...
A recent publication even suggested that the functional variants responsible for GWAS signals in many genes mainly drive gene expression in myeloid cells (and thus potentially in microglia) [58•]. It is necessary to bear in mind that this was a hypothesis-driven study based on a human ...
In human lymphocytes, great amounts of melatonin have been found, with values up to five times greater than the values of plasma concentrations at night [66,67]. In these cells, local melatonin production has been related to the intra-, auto-, and paracrine regulation ...
Since best results are obtained with 48 weeks of interferon therapy, it is necessary to recognize as early as possible those patients who will not develop a sustained response. The decrease of the HBV DNA level in plasma is a necessary condition but not suitable as predictor for long-term suc...
The desmoplastic reaction creates a dense stroma and functions as a mechanical barrier around tumor cells, blocking vascularization and immune cell infiltration in the tumor, whilst limiting the active chemotherapeutics that may reach the pancreatic tumor cells [33]. As such, the pancreatic cancer TME...
