Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of respiratory illness in infants worldwide. Neurologic alterations, such as seizures and ataxia, have been associated with RSV infection. We demonstrate presence proteins RNA zones brain—such hippocampus, ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus, brainstem—of infected mice. One month after disease resolution, rodents showed behavioral cognitive impairment marble burying (MB) Morris water maze (MWM) tests. Our data indicate that learning caused...

Background:Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a live attenuated vaccine mainly administered to newborns and used for over 100 years prevent the disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). This can induce immune response polarization towards Th1 profile, which desired counteracting M. tb, other mycobacteria, unrelated intracellular pathogens. The BCG has been as vector express recombinant proteins shown protect against several diseases, particularly respiratory...

Background The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has significantly risen in the past three decades, prompting researchers to explore potential contributions environmental factors during pregnancy ASD development. One such factor interest is gestational hypothyroxinemia (HTX), a frequent condition associated with cognitive impairments offspring. While retrospective human studies have linked HTX autistic traits, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying development ASD-like...

Abstract Human respiratory syncytial virus infection is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. A previous murine study showed that during severe acute infections the invades central nervous system, infected animals evolve with long-lasting learning difficulties associated long-term potentiation impairment in their hippocampus. We hypothesized here human infants who presented episode before 6 months age would develop difficulties. measured acquisition native phoneme repertoire...

Background: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most prevalent type of differentiated carcinoma, displays a strikingly high frequency lymph node metastasis (LNM). Recent data suggest that chemokines can play an important role in promoting tumor progression and metastatic migration cells. Here we have evaluated whether PTC tissues express different pattern chemokine receptors if expression these correlates with LNM. Methods: We assessed by immunohistochemistry flow cytometry CCR3, CCR7, CXCR4...
