Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease that is pathogenically driven
by proinflammatory cytokines. This article reviews the immunologic role of interleukin (IL)-17 …

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unique innate-like T cells that bridge innate
and adaptive immunity. They are activated by conserved bacterial ligands derived from …

Background The function of the thymus in human adults is unclear, and routine removal of
the thymus is performed in a variety of surgical procedures. We hypothesized that the adult …

IBD—ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease—is emerging as a worldwide epidemic. An
association between the increased incidence of IBD and environmental factors linked to …

Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by a deregulated immune response
targeting the gut bacterial flora. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are major …

Th17 and IL‐17 play important roles in the clearance of extracellular bacterial and fungal
infections. However, strong evidence also implicates the Th17 lineage in several …

Abstract Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in chronic inflammation
occurring during the pathogenesis of allergy, malignancy, and autoimmune diseases such …

In this review, we examine the current status of S taphylococcus aureus vaccine
development and the prospects for future vaccines. Examination of the clinical trials to date …

Combined with TCR stimuli, extracellular cytokine signals initiate the differentiation of naive
CD 4+ T cells into specialized effector T‐helper (Th) and regulatory T (Treg) cell subsets …

In the protective responses of epithelial tissues, not only immune cells but also non-immune
cells directly respond to external agents. Epithelial cells can be involved in the organization …
