Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play key roles in allergic asthma development. We have previously revealed the inhibitory effect of CD5 antigen-like protein (CD5L) on allergic airway inflammation. Here, we analyzed the effect of CD5L on ILC2s.
BACKGROUND: SLE is a complex autoimmune disease with deleterious effects on various organs. Accumulating evidence has shown abnormal vitamin B12 and one-carbon flux contribute to immune dysfunction. Transcobalamin II (TCN2) belongs to the vitamin B12-binding protein family respon...
INTRODUCTION: Prostatitis is likely to occur in younger or middle-aged men, while prostate cancer is likely to occur in older men. Although amino acids and lipids as biomarkers of prostate cancer have been examined using prostate cancer cell lines/tissues, no previous studies hav...
The global type 2 diabetes epidemic is a major health crisis and there is a critical need for innovative strategies to fight it. Although the microbiome plays important roles in the onset of insulin resistance (IR) and low-grade inflammation, the microbial compounds regulating these phenomena rem...
Glibenclamide (GLIB), a type 2 diabetes therapy, has long-term safety concerns. Probiotic–drug coadministration, an emerging adjunctive approach for metabolic diseases, improves therapeutic outcomes and side effects. Here, Bifidobacterium animalis B960 was selected from 71 probiotic strains by HP...
