The vermiform appendix impacts the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

The pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein, which has been suggested to begin in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we determined the capacity of the appendix to modify PD risk and influence pathogenesis. In two independent epidemiological datasets, involving more than 1.6 million individuals and over 91 million person-years, we observed …

Profile of regulatory T cells and interferon γ secretion in the tumor-draining lymph node from mouse Hepa16 cells.

BACKGROUND The tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) is the critical and initial site of the immune decision made between activation and tolerance to tumor antigens. Tumor-reactive lymphadenopathy in TDLN has been observed for decades, but the profiles of immune regulation in these nodes remain unclear. METHODS Both regulatory T cells (Tregs) and effector T cells were …

Cryptosporidium and Giardia in Livestock in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia and Associated Risk Factors for Infection: A Cross-Sectional Study

The occurrence and species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia duodenalis infecting young livestock in selected districts of Tigray, Ethiopia were investigated, along with risks associated with infection. A total of 757 faecal samples were collected from calves, lambs, and goat kids from four rural districts in Tigray, and also from calves in periurban Mekelle, Tigray’s main city, and analysed for Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. Farmers …
