Relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and celiac disease: a cross-sectional study and a brief review of the literature by Sebahat Basyigit, Oktay Unsal, Metin Uzman, Ferdane Sapmaz, Ozlem Ceylan Dogan, Ayse Kefeli, Zeliha Asilturk, Abdullah Ozgur Yeniova, Yasar Nazligul

“…Conclusions : Helicobacter pylori remains one of the bacterial species that is most likely to trigger autoimmunity. However, studies have failed to reveal a relationship between H. pylori and CD; thus, additional basic work on the immunological aspects of the microbial-host interactions and longitudinal studies enrolling patients at very early stages of the disease may help us to address this issue.…”

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. …”

Crosstalk between Innate Lymphoid Cells and Other Immune Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment by Fabian Flores-Borja, Sheeba Irshad, Peter Gordon, Felix Wong, Ibrahim Sheriff, Andrew Tutt, Tony Ng

“…Three different groups of ILC have been described based on their ability to produce cytokines that mediate the interactions between innate and adaptive immune cells in a variety of immune responses in infection, allergy, and autoimmunity. However, recent evidence from experimental models and clinical studies has demonstrated that ILC contribute to the mechanisms that generate suppressive or tolerant environments that allow tumor regression or progression. …”
