Asbestos exposure causes lung fibrosis and various malignant tumors such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. The effects of asbestos on immune cells have not been thoroughly investigated, although our previous reports showed that asbestos exposure reduced anti-tumor immunity. The effects of c

BACKGROUND: Regulatory CD4 T cells (Tregs) are critical in maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system. Quantitative or phenotypic alterations and functional impairment of Tregs have been associated with the development of pathologies including those of the central nervous system. Individuals w

Acta virologica.Acta Virol.2015 Sep;59(3):247-56.
Human T lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is a pathogenic retrovirus that spreads predominantly via cell-to-cell contact. Two models of cell-to-cell virus transmission are proposed: virological synapse (VS) and viral biofilms (VB). Both infectious structures can be involved in transmission and synergis
