The Overlapping Area of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) and Wheat-Sensitive Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): An Update

2017

Gluten-related disorders have recently been reclassified with an emerging scientific literature supporting the concept of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). New research has specifically addressed prevalence, immune mechanisms, the recognition of non-immunoglobulin E (non-IgE) wheat allergy and overlap of NCGS with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-type symptoms. This review article will provide clinicians with an update that directly impacts on the management of a subgroup of their IBS patients whose symptoms are triggered by wheat ingestion.

Analysis of TCR Vbeta repertoire and cytokine gene expression in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

2001

Although the etiopathogenesis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is still unclear, it is widely accepted that a complex interplay between viral infections and immune mechanisms is the basis of disease genesis. Previously, we showed that heart-infiltrating T cells of patients suffering from acute, fulminant Coxsackie virus B3+-IDC shared a preferential usage of three variable gene segments of the T cell receptor beta chain-(TCR-Vbeta) encoding families Vbeta3, 7 and 13.1. This indicated the possible presence of a superantigen-driven immune response. Here, we further investigated the IDC immunological scenario by analysing different phenotypes of heart-infiltrating cells: TCR repertoi…

Insect Immunity: An Evolutionary Ecology Perspective

2005

Abstract We review recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of insect immune defence, but do so in a framework defined by the ecological and evolutionary forces that shape insect immune defence. Recent advances in genetics and molecular biology have greatly expanded our understanding of the details of the immune mechanisms that enable insects to defend themselves against parasites and pathogens. However, these studies are primarily concerned with discovering and describing how resistance mechanisms work. They rarely address the question of why they are shaped the way they are. Partly because we know so much about the mechanisms that it is now becoming possible to ask such ulti…
