CD49d Is Upregulated in Circulating T Lymphocytes from HTLV-1-Infected Patients

L. T. Araujo Janahu et al.

Summary: The study observed a higher peripheral blood frequency of CD49d(hi)CD4(+) and CD49d(hi)CD8(+) T cells in HTLV-1-infected patients, suggesting a potential contribution to the pathogenesis of the disease. Therefore, CD49d may serve as a target for therapeutic strategies to block the migration of T cells to the central nervous system, reducing the incidence of HAM/TSP.

UniProt: the universal protein knowledgebase in 2021

Alex Bateman et al.

Summary: The UniProt Knowledgebase aims to provide users with a comprehensive, high-quality set of protein sequences annotated with functional information. Updates over the past two years have increased the number of sequences to approximately 190 million, with new methods to assess proteome completeness and quality. UniProtKB has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by expertly curating relevant entries and making them rapidly available through a dedicated portal.

Following the Clues: Usefulness of Biomarkers of Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in the Investigation of HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy Progression

Flavia dos Santos Souza et al.

Summary: The study evaluated biomarkers of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in HAM/TSP prognosis, finding a positive correlation between levels of neurofilament proteins and disease progression speed, as well as active neuroinflammation indicated by elevated levels of specific chemokines. The CSF/serum neopterin ratio could serve as a strong indicator for disease progression, providing valuable insights for overcoming differences in laboratory assays.

Compartmentalization of cerebrospinal fluid inflammation across the spectrum of untreated HIV-1 infection, central nervous system injury and viral suppression

Magnus Gisslen et al.

Summary: The study revealed that HIV-1 infection is associated with a broad compartmentalized CNS inflammatory response that changes with disease progression, neurological injury, and viral suppression. Untreated individuals without obvious HIV-associated dementia exhibited at least two overall patterns of inflammation as CD4+ T lymphocytes decreased.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Chitinases as Biomarkers for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Julia Costa et al.

Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease causing motor neuron dysfunction, with chitinases like Chitotriosidase and chitinase-3-like proteins showing potential as important biomarkers for disease progression in ALS patients.
