Helminth-derived proteins as immune system regulators: a systematic review of their promise in alleviating colitis
Through a systematic review, Alghanmi and colleagues highlight the role of helminth-derived proteins in immunomodulation and their potential utility in treatment for chronic inflammatory conditions such Crohn’s disease.
Whole blood stimulation provides preliminary evidence of altered immune function following SRC
Battista and colleagues explore how whole blood stimulation can be used within a causal framework to estimate the effect of sports-related concussion (SRC) on immune function. Preliminary evidence suggests that SRC affects LPS and R848 immunoreactivity.
