Article Abstract
Infertility, defined as the inability to obtain pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse, has increased in prevalence over the past decades, similarly to chronic, allergic, autoimmune, or neurodegenerative diseases. A recent ARIA-MeDALL hypothesis has proposed that all these diseases are linked to dysbiosis and to some cytokines such as interleukin 17 (IL-17) and interleukin 33 (IL-33). Our paper suggests that endometriosis, a leading cause of infertility, is linked to endometrial dysbiosis and two key cytokines, IL-17 and IL-33, which interact with intestinal dysbiosis. Intestinal dysbiosis contributes to elevated estrogen levels, a primary factor in endometriosis. Estrogens strongly activate IL-17 and IL-33, supporting the existence of a gut-endometrial axis as a significant contributor to infertility.

Purpose: In this study, we scrutinized the protective effect of lotus leaf (LF) against high-fat diet (HFD) induced liver injury in rats.
Methods: The rats received the HFD for the induction of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Rats received the oral administration of LF (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, b.
Analysis of the Innate Immune Response to Febrile UTI in Infants: Evidence of an Acute Cytokine Storm.
Pediatr Infect Dis J

From the Division of Microbiology, Immunology and Glycobiology, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Lund University.
Background: Infections trigger complex immune responses, with conserved as well as disease-specific characteristics.
Methods: Proteomic screening technology and gene expression analysis were used here to define the immune response in infants, with their first episode of febrile urinary tract infection. Urine and peripheral blood samples were obtained at enrollment and at follow-up, after 6 months.
The Intriguing Roles of Cytokines in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Narrative Review.

First Laboratory of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, 54124, Greece.
Purpose Of Review: This narrative review aims to critically summarize evidence on the potential contribution of cytokines, including members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, interleukins (ILs), interferons (IFs), chemokines, lymphokines, and members of the transforming growth factor (TGF) superfamily to the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). It also considers the translational relevance of cytokines, including their potential for non-invasive biomarkers or therapeutic targets of MASLD.
Recent Findings: MASLD and its inflammatory phenotype, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are characterized by chronic, low-grade hepatic inflammation, primarily initiated by metabolic contributors and driven by various cytokines.

Asthma represents a heterogeneous disorder characterized by a dynamic balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory forces, with allergic sensitization contributing substantially to airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling. Central to its pathogenesis are cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-17, and IL-33, which drive recruitment of eosinophils, neutrophils, and other effector cells, thereby precipitating episodic exacerbations in response to viral and environmental triggers. Conventional biomarkers, including blood and sputum eosinophil counts, IgE levels, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide, facilitate phenotypic classification and guide the emerging biologic era.

: Patients with GG rs738409 patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) genotype (148M variant) have greater risk to develop end-stage liver disease and its associated clinical complications, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aimed to analyze the association between the PNPLA3 genotype and augmented inflammatory response in transplant candidates with end-stage alcoholic liver disease (ALD). : Concentrations of 13 cytokines were measured in 106 end-stage ALD patients without HCC (40 with CC, 40 with CG, and 26 with GG genotype), 35 end-stage ALD patients with HCC, and 19 control patients by cytometric bead array.
