Allergy Risk Increased by Compound Found in Infant Gut

Gut microbiota (formerly called gut flora) is the name given today to the microbe population living in our intestine. A recent study of newborn infants has identified a compound produced by gut bacteria that appears to predispose certain infants to allergies and asthma later in life. More...

T Follicular Helper Cells Retain Lymphoid Characteristics

T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are a subset of CD4+ T cells that provide B cell help within the follicles of secondary lymphoid tissues. Tfh promote B cell class switching and affinity maturation, and without Tfh help, germinal centers (GC) fail to form. More...

Rare Inherited Enzyme Disorder Yields Insight into Fibrosis

Mammalian tissues and organs preserve their structural and functional homeostasis by means of their supportive connective tissue, a three-dimensional network of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) with different topological characteristics depending on the organ/tissue in which it is embedded.

Collagen Biomarkers Clarify Prognosis of Diabetic Renal Complications

Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. More...
