IL-23

[Heliyon] The authors indicated that Nigella sativa L. had an immunomodulatory effect and could prevent kidney injury pristane induced Lupus-treated mice.

[Nature Communications] The authors demonstrated that both therapeutic and preventative IL-23 blockade alleviated glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver diseasedevelopment.

[Nature Communications] Scientists explored the effect of Autophagy-related 5 (Atg5) deficiency in liver CD11c+ cells in mice fed HFD. When compared to control mice, Atg5-deficient CD11c+ mice exhibit increased glucose intolerance and decreased insulin sensitivity when fed HFD.

[International Immunopharmacology] The authors investigated the effects of S1P receptor 1 (S1P1) specific S1P analogue SEW2871, S1P1 and S1P5 specific BAF312, and non-selective FTY720 on human Th17 and Treg differentiation and IL-23-mediated signaling.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers examined whether haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) could enhance the immunosuppressive effects of bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs) on the rejection of transplanted liver allografts in rats.

[Cell] Researchers characterized the heterogeneity, plasticity, and migratory phenotypes of tissue Th17 cells in vivo by combined fate mapping with profiling of the transcriptomes and TCR clonotypes of over 84,000 Th17 cells at homeostasis and during CNS autoimmune inflammation.
