Neonatal T Cells: A Reinterpretation

Neonatal T Cells in an Adult Lung

Parental monitoring: a reinterpretation.

Monitoring (tracking and surveillance) of children's behavior is considered an essential parenting skill. Numerous studies show that well-monitored youths are less involved in delinquency and other normbreaking behaviors, and scholars conclude that parents should track their children more carefully. This study questions that conclusion. We point out that monitoring measures typically assess par...

Adult Thymus: A Forgotten Jail for Autoreactive T Cells

T Helper Cells Profile and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Regulatory T Cells in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered as the most common cause of female infertility that affects 4-10% of women in the reproductive age. Previous studies have shown the role of a balanced immune response in a successful pregnancy and fertility. Objective: To investigate the T helper cells type 1 (Th1) /Th2/Th17/Treg paradigms in peripheral blood of infertile PCOS compared ...

Three day neonatal thymectomy selectively depletes NK1.1+ T cells.

Neonatal thymectomy of mice 3 days after birth but not at birth leads to T cell-mediated, organ-specific, autoimmune disease in a strain-dependent manner. The mechanisms that lead to disease in this model remain unknown, but the answer may lie in a deficiency of thymus-dependent cells or factors. One candidate is the relatively rare population of NK1.1 + T cells (NKT cells). Conventional alphab...
