Central nervous system macrophages in progressive multiple sclerosis: relationship to neurodegeneration and therapeutics

Emily Kamma et al.

Summary: There are limited treatment options available for progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) due to a poor understanding of its pathophysiology. Microglia and macrophages play a vital role in the progressive phase of MS and may contribute to neurodegeneration. However, there is a lack of disease-modifying drugs that target these cells specifically in progressive MS.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and their therapeutic potential against autoimmune disorders - Advances and challenges

Tapas Kumar Goswami et al.

Summary: This article discusses the mechanism of autoimmune diseases and the crucial role of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs control immune suppression by regulating various immune cells, protecting the body from the impact of autoimmune diseases. Studying T cell markers and therapeutic approaches can help reduce the severity of autoimmune-related conditions.

Neuroinflammation: Extinguishing a blaze of T cells

Nail Benallegue et al.

Summary: Inflammation is a biological process that can disrupt the structure and function of the central nervous system (CNS). T cells play a key role in neuroinflammatory responses, and the CNS microenvironment can influence T cell function. The mechanisms controlling aberrant T cell responses within the CNS are not well understood. This article focuses on the contribution of CD4 T helper (Th) cell subsets in promoting neuropathology and disease, the control of immune response by regulatory T cells (Tregs), and the impact of CNS-intrinsic signals on abnormal immune T cell responses.

Treatment of EAE mice with Treg, G-MDSC and IL-2: a new insight into cell therapy for multiple sclerosis

Mohammad Mehdi Ghorbani et al.

Summary: This study investigates the therapeutic and protective effects of suppressive immune cells and pivotal cytokines on a multiple sclerosis disease model. Pre- and post-treatment of the model mice resulted in no weight change, reduced pro-inflammatory cells, and suppression of undesired pathological properties.

Dual roles of interleukin-33 in cognitive function by regulating central nervous system inflammation

Xiuqin Rao et al.

Summary: With the increasing incidence of dementia in an aging society, the burden on society is growing. Neuroinflammation is recognized as being involved in cognitive dysfunction in various neurological diseases. IL-33, as an important neuroinflammatory factor, has been found to play dual roles in the progression of diseases linked to cognitive impairment.

Expatiating the Pharmacological and Nanotechnological Aspects of the Alkaloidal Drug Berberine: Current and Future Trends

Tapan Behl et al.

Summary: Berberine (BBR) is a bioactive alkaloid with various medicinal properties, but its clinical application is limited due to poor pharmacokinetic characteristics. Nanotechnology has been suggested as a possible solution to improve its bioavailability and absorption for therapeutic use in different diseases.

Kombucha ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis through activation of Treg and Th2 cells

Dariush Haghmorad et al.

Summary: This research demonstrated that kombucha can reduce the severity of disease in an EAE model by inducing the production of IL-4 and TGF-beta, while inhibiting IFN-gamma and IL-17. The results suggest that kombucha could potentially be a therapeutic option for multiple sclerosis.

Connecting Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Multiple Sclerosis: Are Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells a Nexus of Disease?

Morgan W. Psenicka et al.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases often involve inflammation, and multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex interplay between inflammation and neurodegeneration. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) play an active role in promoting neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in MS, in addition to being a target of autoimmune pathology.

Cross-Talk of the CNS With Immune Cells and Functions in Health and Disease

Agata Matejuk et al.

Summary: The immune system plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and integrity, beyond self-recognition, from early development to ensure proper organ function later in life. Recent research shows that immune cells in the blood can support the CNS through neuroimmune communication, challenging the traditional view of peripheral immunity being detrimental to the nervous system. Understanding the cross-talk between the CNS and the immune system is essential to uncover neurodestructive and neuroprotective immune mechanisms for more effective therapeutic strategies in health and disease.
