Lipid Antigens: Revealing the Hidden Players in Adaptive Immune Responses by Tamana Eskandari, Yasamin Eivazzadeh, Fatemeh Khaleghinia, Fatemeh Kashi, Valentyn Oksenych, Dariush Haghmorad

“…Lipid trafficking, CD1 molecule interactions, and the immune system’s response to lipid antigens are yet to be completely understood, particularly in the context of autoimmunity and microbial infections. In the years to come, continued research efforts are needed to uncover its underlying biological mechanisms and to exploit the full potential of therapies directed against lipid antigens.…”

Antitumor Responses of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells by Jennie B. Altman, Adriana D. Benavides, Rupali Das, Hamid Bassiri

“…This body of literature suggests that NKT cells play diverse nonredundant roles in a number of disease processes, including the initiation and propagation of airway hyperreactivity, protection against a variety of pathogens, development of autoimmunity, and mediation of allograft responses. In this review, however, we focus on the role of a specific lineage of NKT cells in antitumor immunity. …”

Inborn Errors of Immunity Presenting with Early-Onset Severe Atopy by Nipat Chuleerarux, Nadia Makkoukdji, Travis Satnarine, Jessica Elise Kuhn, Tanawin Nopsopon, Peerada Valyasevi, Fernanda Bellodi Schmidt, Gary Kleiner, Melissa Gans

“…Additionally, we discuss the importance of recognizing such severe atopy as a potential indicator of an underlying immune deficiency, particularly when accompanied by unusual infections, growth failure, or autoimmunity. This review aims to raise awareness of this association and emphasize the need for early diagnosis and genetic testing in patients with atypical or treatment-resistant allergic diseases, allowing for more timely diagnosis of underlying immunodeficiencies and appropriate treatments.…”

Altered Immune Regulation in Type 1 Diabetes by András Zóka, Györgyi Műzes, Anikó Somogyi, Tímea Varga, Barbara Szémán, Zahra Al-Aissa, Orsolya Hadarits, Gábor Firneisz

“…It develops when a susceptible individual is exposed to potential triggers in a given sequence and timeframe that eventually disarranges the fine-tuned immune mechanisms that keep autoimmunity under control in health. Genomewide association studies have helped to understand the congenital susceptibility, and hand-in-hand with the immunological research novel paths of immune dysregulation were described in central tolerance, apoptotic pathways, or peripheral tolerance mediated by regulatory T-cells. …”
