Tissue resident memory T cells: putting cancer cells to sleep and a target for therapy

Tissue resident memory T cells are cancer killing immune cells that have emerged as key players in immune-mediated control of solid cancers, as well as being markers of prognosis and predictors of response to immunotherapy.

Human Milk Microbiome and Microbiome-Related Products: Potential Modulators of Infant Growth

Infant growth trajectory may influence later-life obesity. Human milk provides a wide range of nutritional and bioactive components that are vital for infant growth. Compared to formula-fed infants, breastfed infants are less likely to develop later-onset obesity, highlighting the potential role of bioactive components present in human milk.

Concentration of food allergens in breastmilk and association with maternal factors– A systematic review

Common food allergens have been detected in breast milk with wide inter-individual variations in concentrations. As maternal factors, such as age, smoking, and body mass index have been associated with breast milk composition, we aimed to identify maternal characteristics associated with the concentration of food allergens in breast milk.

Associations of serum short-chain fatty acids with circulating immune cells and serum biomarkers in patients with multiple sclerosis

Altered composition of gut bacteria and changes to the production of their bioactive metabolites, the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), have been implicated in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the immunomodulatory actions of SCFAs and intermediaries in their ability to influence MS pathogenesis are uncertain. In this study, levels of serum SCFAs were correlated with immune cell abundance and phenotype as well as with other relevant serum factors in blood samples taken at first presentation of Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS; an early form of MS) or MS and compared to healthy controls. There was a small but significant reduction in propionate levels in the serum of patients with CIS or MS compared with healthy controls.

Prevalence and outcomes of young people with concurrent autism spectrum disorder and first episode of psychosis

Individuals with concurrent first episode of psychosis and ASD can present with distinct clinical characteristics that require specialised assessment and treatment

Innate immune activation occurs in acute food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome reactions

Food reactions in food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome are predominantly underpinned by activation of the innate immune system

The Promise of Electroencephalography for Advancing Diagnosis and Treatment in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability (ID), commonly emerge during early development and impact functioning across cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and sensorimotor domains.

Continuous active surveillance of adverse events following immunisation using SMS technology

Automated SMS-based reporting can facilitate sustainable, real-time, monitoring of adverse reactions and early identification of potential vaccine safety issues
