The impact of gut microbiome on neuro-autoimmune demyelinating diseases by Pouria Abolfazli, Cristina Nkene Apue Nchama, Brandon Lucke-Wold

“…Gut dysbiosis promotes the generation of proinflammatory Th17 cells, contributing to blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption and central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity. In MS, an increased presence of Th17 cells correlates with disease severity, accompanied by elevated levels of Streptococcus and a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. …”

The Function of T Follicular Helper Cells in the Autoimmune Liver Diseases by Lin Li, Panyang Xu, Qi Zhou, Jiancheng Xu

“…When dysregulated, TFH cells may represent an important mechanism that contributes to a heightened humoral response and autoantibody production in autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs). TFH cells participate in the immune response associated with AILDs by expressing surface receptors such as programmed cell death protein-1, C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 5, and inducible T cell costimulators, as well as cytokines such as interleukin-21. …”
