NKT cells are innate-like T cells, recruited to the skin during viral infection, yet their contributions to long-term immune memory to viruses are unclear. We identified granzyme K, a product made by cytotoxic cells including NKT cells, as linked to induction of Th1-associated antibodies during primary dengue virus (DENV) infection in humans. We examined the role of NKT cells in vivo using DENV-infected mice lacking CD1d-dependent (CD1ddep) NKT cells.

Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors, according to a new study. The findings support that metals in the body are associated with the progression of plaque buildup in the arteries and potentially provide a new strategy for managing and preventing atherosclerosis.

Preventing heart disease is possible. You just need to know how. To prevent heart disease, you need to know what causes it, how to measure the relevant factors and what to do about them. When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. This Is Known As Atherosclerosis. The fundamental cause of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle crosses into the artery wall from the bloodstream, gets stuck, and sets off an inflammatory process 1.

Maintaining protein homeostasis (proteostasis) requires precise control of protein folding and degradation. Failure to properly respond to stresses disrupts proteostasis, which is a hallmark of many diseases, including cataracts. Hibernators are natural cold-stress adaptors; however, little is known about how they keep a balanced proteome under conditions of drastic temperature shift.

Epithelial barriers are programmed for defense and repair but are also the site of long-term structural remodeling and disease. In general, this paradigm features epithelial stem cells (ESCs) that are called on to regenerate damaged tissues but can also be reprogrammed for detrimental remodeling. Here we identified a Wfdc21-dependent monocyte-derived dendritic cell (moDC) population that functioned as an early sentinel niche for basal ESC reprogramming in mouse models of epithelial injury after

Background Cancer survivors are at increased risk of heart failure (HF). While cardiotoxicity is commonly sought at the time of cancer chemotherapy, HF develops as a result of multiple ‘hits’ over time, and there is limited evidence regarding the frequency and causes of HF during survivorship. Objectives This systematic review sought to investigate the relationship between cardiotoxic cancer therapies and HF during survivorship.
