HTLV-1 infection causes chronic immune activation and a prolonged asymptomatic phase, but the functional features that define early disease remain unclear. We evaluated whether spontaneous proliferation (SP) and related functional immune parameters can distinguish clinical stages across the HTLV-1 spectrum. Spontaneous and mitogen-induced lymphoproliferation (PHA, anti-CD3), measured by CFSE dilution, and in vitro cell death,...

This study aimed to identifydistinct profiles of response to Tumor Necrosis Factor inhibitors (TNFi) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using unsupervised machine learning to integrate clinical, demographic, and genetic data. A cohort of 294 RA patients was analyzed using hierarchical clustering techniques. Data collected included body mass index (BMI), adherence to physical activity, prevalence of comorbidities, seropositi...

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial reproductive disease that is typified by repeated pregnancy loss with immune dysregulation emerging as a critical contributing factor. Immunoglobulins are among the immune components that are instrumental in preserving tolerance between the mother and the fetus, regulating inflammatory responses, and supporting placental development. This review provides a comprehensive overvi...
