Serotonin — also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT — is typically referred to as “the happiness hormone” and deﬁciency is thought to be the source of depression.

Plasma proteomics analysis of Chinese HIV-1 infected individuals focusing on the immune and inflammatory factors afford insight into the viral control mechanism

Background: Long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) with HIV infection can naturally control viral replication for up to a decade without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain elusive. Methods: To investigate the relevant immune and inflammatory factors associated with this natural control mechanism, we collected plasma samples from

Autoimmune uveitis attenuated in diabetic mice through imbalance of Th1/Th17 differentiation via suppression of AP-1 signaling pathway in Th cells

Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes, however the impact of diabetes on organ-specific autoimmune diseases remains unexplored.Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) is a widely accepted animal model of human endogenous uveitis. In this study, we investigated the effects of diabetic conditions on the development of EAU using a
