Foods high in tryptophan including turkey, pork, and nuts modulate T-cells and GPR15 receptors and reduce inflammation linked to ulcerative colitis.

Scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have designed a group of synthetic molecules that could prevent the rejection of allogeneic cell transplants. Their strategy consisted of activating the immune checkpoints of different populations of immune cells from the cell surface, but avoiding the cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages that would destroy the transplanted cells.

Currently, immunotherapy is the standard of care for patients with liver cancer. However, while newer immunotherapy medications, which use a person’s immune system to fight cancer, can slow the spread in many types of cancers, liver tumors often do not respond. University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researcher Benjamin Green, MD, led a team to conduct public impact research and published a study aimed to better understand why this happens.

T lymphocytes (T cells) are an important sub-group of cells in our immune system responsible for cell-mediated adaptive responses and maintaining immune homeostasis. Abnormalities in T cell function, lead the way to the persistence of infection, impaired immunosurveillance, lack of suppression of cancer growth, and autoimmune diseases. Ion channels play a critical role in the regulation of T cell signaling and cellular function and are often overlooked and understudied. Little is known about the ion “channelome” and the interaction of ion channels in immune cells. This review aims to summa...

Skin is our first line of defense, protecting us from damage and keeping out unwanted visitors. As we age, it weakens. Research may have found a workaround.
