Beyond nutritional immunity: immune-stressing challenges basic paradigms of immunometabolism and immunology by Edmund K. LeGrand

“…Since immune cells actively controlling pathogens (effector cells) typically do not proliferate at infected sites, there is a “stress vulnerability gap” wherein proliferating pathogens are more vulnerable to any type of stress than are the attacking effector cells. Hosts actively stress vulnerable proliferating pathogens by restricting resources (resource-limiting stress) and generating noxious waste products (damaging/disruptive stress) in a fundamental defense here-in termed “immune-stressing.” …”

Causal relationship between immune cells and risk of heart failure: evidence from a Mendelian randomization study by Wenjing Cao, Zefu Yang, Liumei Mo, Zhenhao Liu, Jiawei Wang, Zhenhong Zhang, Kui Wang, Wei Pan

“…Previous investigations have highlighted the critical involvement of immune cells in the progression of heart failure, with distinct roles attributed to different types of immune cells. The objective of the current research was to explore the potential connections between immune characteristics and the development of HF, as well as to ascertain the nature of the causality between these factors.MethodsTo assess the causal association of immunological profiles with HF based on publicly available genome-wide studies, we employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization technique, utilizing the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method as our primary analytical approach. …”
