Article Abstract
Lymphedema is a debilitating disease characterized by extremity edema, fibroadipose deposition, impaired lymphangiogenesis, and dysfunctional lymphatics, often with lymphatic injury secondary to the treatment of malignancies. Emerging evidence has shown that immune dysfunction regulated by T cells plays a pivotal role in development of lymphedema. Specifically, Th1, Th2, Treg, and Th17 cells have been identified as critical regulators of pathological changes in lymphedema. In this review, our aim is to provide an overview of the current understanding of the roles of CD4+ T cells, including Th1, Th2, Treg, and Th17 subsets, in the progression of lymphedema and to discuss associated therapies targeting T cell inflammation for management of lymphedema.

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by subsp. (Mmm), is a devastating cattle disease with high morbidity and mortality, threatening cattle productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa and potentially in parts of Asia. Cross-border livestock trade increases the risk of CBPP introduction or reintroduction.

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has raised concerns regarding its impact on human health and the environment due to its widespread and excessive use. Adverse effects on the immune system have been reported. In this study, 26 vineyard workers in Veneto vineyards were examined before and after glyphosate applications to investigate possible immune parameter changes.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that impacts the immune system, especially through changes in the splenic immune cell system. This review provides an overview of the role of splenocytes in T cell signaling and their immune response in RA patients. The spleen acts as a critical site for the activation and differentiation of splenic immune cells like T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells.

Microsporidia causes opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed individuals. Mammals shed these spores of fungi in feces, urine, or respiratory secretions, which could contaminate water and food, thereby reaching the human body and causing infection. The oral route is the most common route of infection, although experiments have demonstrated that intraperitoneal and intravenous routes may also spread infection.

This review synthesizes evidence linking HIV-associated microbial alterations to oncogenesis through three convergent metabolic axes: (1) butyrate deficiency impairing epithelial energy metabolism and anti-tumor immunity; (2) tryptophan metabolism dysregulation compromising gut barrier integrity via depletion and -mediated phenylethylamine overproduction; and (3) vitamin B biosynthesis defects disrupting DNA repair and Th1/Th2 balance. Comparative profiling across HIV-associated malignancies-non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cervical cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and lung cancer-reveals conserved dysbiotic signatures: depletion of anti-inflammatory taxa (, ) and expansion of pro-inflammatory genera (, ).
