Access : Visualization of the entire differentiation process of murine M cells: suppression of their maturation in cecal patches : Mucosal Immunology

Mucosal Immunology is the official publication of the Society of Mucosal Immunology (SMI). It aims to provide a forum for both basic and clinical scientists to discuss all aspects of immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues. The journal reflects the interests of scientists studying gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, oral, ocular, and genitourinary immunology through the publication of original research articles, scholarly reviews, and timely commentaries, editorials and letters.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

The microfold (M) cell residing in the follicle-associated epithelium is a specialized epithelial cell that initiates mucosal immune responses by sampling luminal antigens. The differentiation process of M cells remains unclear due to limitations of analytical methods. Here we found that M cells were classified into two functionally different subtypes based on the expression of Glycoprotein 2 (GP2) by newly developed image cytometric analysis. GP2-high M cells actively took up luminal microbeads, whereas GP2-negative or low cells scarcely ingested them, even though both subsets equally expressed the other M-cell signature genes, suggesting that GP2-high M cells represent functionally mature M cells.

The immune system in the normal endometrium and implications for endometrial cancer development | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it

Highlights

 

•

The endometrial immune system plays a role in protection against pathogens and feto-maternal tolerance.

•

The endometrial immune system varies according to the stage of the menstrual cycle.

•

Both anti- and pro-tumor immune-related factors are involved in endometrial tumors.

•

Immune system composition may play a role in patient prognosis and may serve as a target for treatment.

•

Immune system plays a dual role in both a healthy situation and a tumor.

Influence of the microbiota on vaccine effectiveness: Trends in Immunology

Influence of the microbiota on vaccine effectiveness: Trends in Immunology | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it
Studies of the relationship between the microbiome and the development and function of the immune system are demonstrating novel concepts that could significantly alter the way we treat disease and promote wellness. Several diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, allergy/asthma, and diabetes, are associated with changes in composition of the microbiome. Recent findings suggest novel complex mechanisms by which the microbiome impacts immune cell development and differentiation. A major implication of these findings is that the composition of microbiome may ultimately affect vaccine efficacy. We explore here the potential role of the microbiome in vaccine responses in the context of our growing understanding of the relationship between the gastrointestinal microbiota, resident immune cell populations, and systemic immunity.
