5G and human health
(2021)The considerable characteristics of 5G technology (Fifth Generation of telecommunication) is the very high amount of data that can be transmitted in the time unit (data speed: Megabits per second - throughput) and the very ... -
BAFF receptor polymorphisms and deficiency in humans
(2021)The BAFF-receptor (BAFFR) is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It is expressed only by B cells and binds BAFF as single ligand, which activates key signaling pathways regulating essential cellular functions, including ... -
A Critical Appraisal of the Effects of Anesthetics on Immune-system Modulation in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19
(2021)Purpose: The aim of the present article was to briefly summarize current knowledge about the immunomodulatory effects of general anesthetics and the possible clinical effects of this immunomodulation in patients with ... -
Editorial: Role of Ribonucleases in Immune Response Regulation During Infection and Cancer
(2020)[No abstract available] -
Genetics of COVID-19 and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: a systematic review
(2022)COVID-19 and ME/CFS present with some similar symptoms, especially physical and mental fatigue. In order to understand the basis of these similarities and the possibility of underlying common genetic components, we performed ... -
Host – virus – drug interactions as determinants of COVID-19’s phenotypes: A data-driven hypothesis
(2020)There is a growing body of evidence on the significance of interactions between comorbidities, their treatments and COVID-19 clinical phenotypes. The hypothesis explored herein is that pharmaceutical compounds currently ... -
The immune system in neonates and infants: Mechanisms and clinical correlates
(2010)Immaturity of the neonatal immune system has been suggested in the past as the factor underlying the high rates of morbidity and mortality from infections in newborn infants and the impairment of the neonatal immune response ... -
Impact of Interleukin 10 Deficiency on Intestinal Epithelium Responses to Inflammatory Signals
(2021)Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic, anti-inflammatory cytokine that has a major protective role in the intestine. Although its production by cells of the innate and adaptive immune system has been extensively studied, ... -
Impact of rotten eggs on hatchery performances: A multicentric study
(2020)Day-old chick quality is an essential element for the overall profitability of the broiler productive cycle and has been associated with the growth performance and feed conversion rate. An effect on the development of the ... -
Impairment in selenocysteine synthesis as a candidate mechanism of inducible coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients
(2021)Coagulopathy has recently been recognized as a recurring complication of COVID-19, most typically associated with critical illness. There are epidemiological, mechanistic and transcriptomic evidence that link Selenium with ... -
Increased frequency of rheumatoid arthritis and allergic rhinitis among pesticide sprayers and associations with pesticide use
(2017)Objective: The aim of this study was to identify diseases linked with the pesticide sprayer occupation and explore possible associations with exposure history data. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among ... -
Intergenic snps in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: Revealing metabolic, oxidative stress and immune-related pathways
(2021)There is strong evidence supporting the contribution of genetic factors to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) susceptibility. In the current study we analyzed both in a clinical cohort and in silico, four single ... -

Pathogenetic Aspects of Systemic Sclerosis: A View Through the Prism of B Cells
(2022)Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare fibrotic rheumatic disease, associated with psychological distress and increased morbidity and mortality due to skin involvement and internal organ damage. The current understanding of ... -
Serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants (SSRIs) against atherosclerosis
(2011)Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of drug widely used for treatment of mood disorders, including depression and cardiovascular disease. A search for related articles in the PubMed database was ... -
Stress and the progression of HIV disease
(2006)The reciprocal interactions between the neuroendocrine, immune, and autonomic nervous system are complicated, yet worthy of examination. A body of literature suggests that psychological factors such as stress, or psychiatric ... -
A systematic review and meta-analysis of genetic association studies for the role of inflammation and the immune system in diabetic nephropathy
(2017)Background: Despite the certain contribution of metabolic and haemodynamic factors in diabetic nephropathy (DN), many lines of evidence highlight the role of immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. To elucidate the ... -
Systemic sclerosis: From pathogenesis towards targeted immunotherapies
(2012)Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a chronic disease with widespread collagen deposition, has three pathogenetic facets: immune activation, microvasculopathy and fibroblast activation. Immune activation and microvasculopathy occur ... -
Unravelling the relationship between animal growth and immune response during micro-parasitic infections
(2009)Background: Both host genetic potentials for growth and disease resistance, as well as nutrition are known to affect responses of individuals challenged with micro-parasites, but their interactive effects are difficult to ...
