Zinc plays a central role in the #immunesystem, & #zinc #deficient people experience increased #susceptibility to a variety of #pathogens. It is clear that zinc affects multiple aspects of the #immune system, from the barrier of the #skin to #generegulation within #lymphocytes. Zinc is crucial for normal #development & #function of cells mediating nonspecific #immunity such as #neutrophils and #naturalkillercells.

When it comes to boosting your #immunesystem, pumping up your intake of #fruitsandveggies is an important and relatively easy step. Likely, #VitaminC or ascorbic acid immediately comes to mind, and there’s a good reason for that. A recent study shows #ascorbicacid in the vitamin enhances natural killer cells or NK cells in people who recently underwent #chemotherapy. These #lymphocytes induce #apoptosis, the death of cancer cells. #angstromminerals #healthyfood

Immunological #findings of West Caucasian #bat #virus in an accidental host http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.09.12.612599v1?rss=1

In #hamsters, #WCBV was highly pathogenic, determining 100% #lethality and mild #encephalitis. In comparison with Duvenhage virus (DUVV) and #RABV, we found that WCBV displayed an intermediate ability to promote cellular antiviral response, produce pro-inflammatory #cytokines, recruit and activate #lymphocytes in the hamsters central nervous system.

Question to anyone familar with #TransHealthcare #Hematology

Is there a relationship between elevated #WBC (#neutrophils, #lymphocytes, #monocytes) & #Platelets, decreased #RBC, #Hemocrit, #Anemia, #Hgb, #mpv and #HRT for male to female #transgender individuals with no other evidence of blood disease, infection or #cancer?

#CTScans are clean, #BoneMarrowBiopsy clean. Doc wants to repeat however.

“It’s difficult to think of a disease, injury or injection that doesn’t involve some kind of #immune #response,
and our finding really changes the way we could control this response,” said Professor Adrian Liston from the University’s Department of Pathology and the study’s corresponding author.

“We’ve uncovered new rules of the immune system.
This ‘unified healer army’ can do everything
– repair injured muscle, make your fat cells respond better to insulin, regrow hair follicles.

To think that we could use it in such an enormous range of diseases is fantastic:
it’s got the potential to be used for almost everything.”

Lymphoid organs are integral parts of the immune system, responsible for producing #lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that includes T cells.

T cells begin life in the bone marrow and then move to the thymus, an organ in the upper mid-chest,
where they mature into specialized subsets, including #Tregs.

Once fully matured, T cells are exported to peripheral lymphatic tissues and organs like the spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes
(some move to the bloodstream).

It was thought that’s where Tregs stayed, on ‘standby’ until called upon by the immune system.

To test this, the researchers analyzed the Tregs present in 48 different tissues in mice, including lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues and tissues associated with the gut.

They found them in all tissue types, suggesting that Tregs weren’t specialized cell populations confined to lymphoid tissues but moved around the body, executing repair functions in areas that need it.

“Now that we know these regulatory T cells are present everywhere in the body, in principle ⭐️we can start to make immune suppression and tissue regeneration treatments that are targeted against a single organ⭐️
– a vast improvement on current treatments that are like hitting the body with a sledgehammer,” Liston said

Immune cell discovery: "The potential to be used for almost everything"

A new study has overturned traditional thinking about regulatory T cells, which suppress the body’s inflammatory response, and has significant implications for treating a wide range of conditions, from repairing injured muscles to regrowing hair.

-- A lower frequency of circulating B #lymphocytes by mass cytometry (CyTOF) was observed in the multidomain #deficit cluster. Circulating #fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) was significantly elevated in the #mental/cognitive predominant and the multidomain clusters. Future efforts to link #PASC to acute anti-viral host responses may help to better target treatment and prevention of PASC.

Raman spectroscopy of lymphocytes from patients with the Epstein-Barr virus infection

In this study, Raman spectroscopy was applied to trace lymphocytes activation following contact with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) of the herpesvirus family. The biomarker of cell activation was found to be the 520 cm− 1 band, indicating formation of immunoglobulins. The...
