Lymphocytes in the human gastric mucosa during Helicobacter pylori have a T helper cell 1 phenotype

TL;DR: Observations show that gastric T cells resemble the Th1 type, which may explain their failure to induce immunity to H. pylori and their ability to contribute to the pathogenesis of gastric disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Newborn Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency in 11 Screening Programs in the United States

Antonia Kwan, +84 more
- 20 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: Newborn screening in 11 programs in the United States identified SCID in 1 in 58,000 infants, with high survival, and the usefulness of detection of non-SCID T-cell lymphopenia by the same screening remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol activates mast cells via a non-genomic estrogen receptor-alpha and calcium influx.

TL;DR: Binding of physiological concentrations of estradiol to a membrane estrogen receptor-alpha initiates a rapid onset and progressive influx of extracellular Ca(2+), which supports the synthesis and release of allergic mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental Estrogens Induce Mast Cell Degranulation and Enhance IgE-Mediated Release of Allergic Mediators

TL;DR: The findings suggest that estrogenic environmental pollutants might promote allergic diseases by inducing and enhancing mast cell degranulation by physiologic estrogens and exposure to allergens.
