While the simple proteins called histatins are

Lee and Cate's research hints that this secret lever, which triggers translation of only a special
subset of mRNAs — perhaps only 500 out of some 10,000 mRNAs produced by a
cell — will be found to play a critical role in other diseases besides cancer, as
well as in plants and animals.
Overall, including all genomic variations present in most if not all tumor
cells (clonal) as
well as those present only in
subsets of the cancer
cells (subclonal) from tumor tissue, the researchers detected a total of 864 genetic changes in tissue samples across the three tumor types, and 627 (73 %) of those were also found in the blood.
One of these T
cell subsets is comprised of the CD1d - reactive invariant natural killer T
cells, and over the years we have studied the development, homeostasis, activation and regulation of function of these
cells, as
well as their specificity and the pathways leading to the processing and presentation of antigens by CD1d.
These studies have given us a
better understanding of the genes that influence the development of these
cells, and in particular, to characterize the differences between
subsets of Vα14i NKT
cells with distinct functional properties.
Systemic vs. mucosal immunisation regimens will be compared for optimal induction of innate and adaptive immune
cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17, Th22 and regulatory T
cells, as
well as inflammation genes.
Scientists from the Sundrud lab have identified a normally small
subset of immune
cells that may play a major role in the development of Crohn's disease as
well as steroid resistance associated with the disease.

In their latest study, published in the Nov. 2, 2015, advance online issue of Nature Immunology, researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology report that these disease - causing autoimmune T
cells are lured into the nervous system by monocytes and macrophages, a
subset of immune
cells better known as the immune system's cleanup crew.
Similarly, microarray analyses comparing global gene expression in
cells that overexpress wild - type STAT3 or phosphorylation - deficient mutant indicate that a
subset of genes are regulated by unphosphorylated STAT3, including

cells grow involves growth hormone and one of its
subset, IGF - 1.
