Milk antibodies prepare and protect the newborn against environmental exposure, guide and regulate the offspring's immune system, and promote transgenerational adaptation of the immune system to its environment. While the transfer of IgG across the placenta ceases at birth, milk antibodies are continuously replenished by the maternal immune system. They reflect the mother's real-time adaptation to the environment to which the infant is exposed. They cover the infant's upper respiratory and digestive mucosa and are perfectly positioned to control responses to environmental antigens and might also reach their circulation. Maternal antibodies in breast milk play a key role in the immune defense of the developing child, with a major impact on infectious disease susceptibility in both HIC and LMIC. They also influence the development of another major health burden in children—allergies. Finally, emerging evidence shows that milk antibodies also actively shape immune development. Much of this is likely to be mediated by their effect on the seeding, composition and function of the microbiota, but not only. Further understanding of the bridge that maternal antibodies provide between the child and its environment should enable the best interventions to promote healthy development.</p>","PeriodicalId":178,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Reviews","volume":"328 1","pages":"192-204"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imr.13411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142454232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While non-ionizing radiation is relatively harmless, ionizing radiation possesses sufficient energy to ionize atoms and disrupt DNA, leading to cell damage, mutation, cancer, and cell death. The extensive use of radionuclides and ionizing radiation in nuclear technology and medical applications has sparked global concern for their capacity to cause acute and chronic illnesses. Ionizing radiation induces DNA damage either directly through strand breaks and base change or indirectly by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) via radiolysis of water. This damage triggers a complex cellular response involving recognition of DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair mechanisms, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and cell death. This review focuses on the mechanisms of radiation-induced cellular damage, recognition of DNA damage and subsequent activation of repair processes, and the critical role of the innate immune response in resolution of the injury. Emphasis is placed on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and related receptors that detect damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and initiate downstream signaling pathways. Radiation-induced cell death pathways are discussed in detail. Understanding these processes is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of radiation and improve therapeutic outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":178,"journal":{"name":"Immunological Reviews","volume":"329 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11742653/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142454231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Formation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome activates caspase-1, which cleaves pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 and triggers the formation of gasdermin D pores. Gasdermin D pores allow for the secretion of active IL-1β and IL-18 initiating the organism-wide inflammatory response. The NLRP3 inflammasome response can be beneficial to the host; however, if the NLRP3 inflammasome is inappropriately activated it can lead to significant pathology. While the primary components of the NLRP3 inflammasome are known, the precise details of assembly and activation are less well defined and conflicting. Here, we discuss several of the proposed pathways of activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. We examine the role of subcellular localization and the reciprocal regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by autophagy.

Selective substitution at position 429 forms the basis of Stellabody technology, where the choice of amino acid results in distinct hexamerisation outcomes. H429F results in monomeric IgG that hexamerises after target binding, so called “on-target” hexamerisation, while the H429Y mutant forms pH-sensitive hexamers in-solution prior to antigen binding.

For a rapidly growing number of further anti-neuronal autoantibodies, the role in disease is less clear. Increasing evidence suggests that they could contribute to disease, by playing a modulating role on brain function. We therefore suggest a three-level classification of neurological autoantibodies according to the degree of experimentally proven pathogenicity and strength of clinical association: established, emerging, explorative. This may facilitate focusing on clinical constellations in which autoantibody-mediated mechanisms have not been assumed previously, including autoimmune psychosis and dementia, cognitive impairment in cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Based on recent data reviewed here, humoral autoimmunity may represent an additional “super-system” for brain health. The “brain antibody-ome”, that is, the composition of thousands of anti-neuronal autoantibodies, may shape neuronal function not only in disease, but even in healthy aging. Towards this novel concept, extensive research will have to elucidate pathogenicity from the atomic to the clinical level, autoantibody by autoantibody.
