Journal ArticleDOI

Cell biology of IL-7, a key lymphotrophin

TL;DR: There remain significant questions regarding IL-7 production and the major producing cells have yet to be fully characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Regions of the Interleukin-7 Receptor Regulate Different Bcl2 Family Members

TL;DR: The IL-7 receptor controls at least two distinct pathways, in addition to Stat5, that are required for cell survival, which suggests a sequential model in which Jak1, which binds to Box1, is first activated and then phosphorylates Y449, leading to Bcl2 and Bax regulation, accounting for approximately 90% of the survival function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral delivery of IL-27 recombinant bacteria attenuates immune colitis in mice.

TL;DR: Mucosal delivery of the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin (IL)-27, synthesized actively in situ by the food-grade bacterium L lactis, could be a more effective and safer therapy for inflammatory bowel disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of regulatory T cells requires IL-7Rα stimulation by IL-7 or TSLP

TL;DR: It is concluded that regulatory T (Treg) cells, like other T cells, require signals from the IL-7 receptor, but unlike otherT cells, do not require IL- 7 itself because of at least partially overlapping actions of IL-8 and TSLP for development of Treg cells.
