Top studies on Immune System

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. The interaction between central and peripheral immune systems in methamphetamine use disorder: current status and future directions.

    J Neuroinflammation2025Review47 influential citations

    Methamphetamine (METH) use disorder (MUD) is characterized by compulsive drug-seeking behavior and substantial neurotoxicity, posing a considerable burden on individuals and society. Traditionally perceived as a localized central nervous…

  2. Role of the innate immune system in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.

    Journal of neuroimmunology201022 influential citations

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with heterogeneous clinical presentations and course. MS is considered to be a T cell mediated disease but in recent years contribution of innate immune cells in…

  3. The effect of Limosilactobacillus fermentum 2i3 and 0.6% addition of humic substances on production parameters and the immune system of broilers.

    Poult Sci2024n=120Study9 influential citations

    The widespread use of antibiotics in the poultry industry as growth promoters has led to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Substances of natural origin, such as probiotic…

  4. Macrophage piezo1 senses mechanical force to drive osteoclastogenesis via ZBP1: Implications for bone remodelling therapy.

    Clinical and translational medicine2026E

    The unpredictability of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and risks of root resorption stem from poorly understood mechanisms governing alveolar bone remodelling. Specifically, how macrophages transduce mechanical forces into…

  5. Review of the Effects of Anesthetic Techniques and Medications on the Immune Response During the Perioperative Period.

    Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research2026D

    Anesthetic techniques have a measurable influence on immune function during the perioperative period, with potential consequences for infection risk, tissue repair, and oncological outcomes. The key pathways implicated include mTOR…

  6. [The effect of physiotherapy treatments on the immune system].

    Orvosi hetilap2026D

    The authors provide an overview of the effects of physiotherapy on the immune response. Immunomodulation plays a decisive role in the analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms underlying physiotherapy. Exercise is the most prominent…

  7. The Immune Cost: How Virtual Life Becomes a Modifiable Risk Factor for Immune Dysregulation.

    Clinical laboratory2026D

    The emergence of technology-based lifestyles has led to what may be called "virtual isolation," as people spend more and more time in front of screens and less and less time in the world. Though the psychological consequences of this…

  8. Long COVID Between People With and Without HIV: A Statewide Cohort Analysis

    JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes2026

    Background: This study aimed to compare the risks of a panel of long COVID (LC) manifestations between people with HIV (PWH) and people without HIV (PWoH). Methods: Using integrated statewide electronic health record data from the HIV…

  9. Excitability as a design principle in the immune system.

    2026n=18

    Growing knowledge in immunology has outpaced the development of unifying concepts that explain how molecular circuits generate immune goals-strong response to pathogens, self-tolerance, and prevention of collateral damage. Here, we propose…

  10. A miniaturized MR1 metabolite display system with native-like protein features

    bioRxiv2026

    Major histocompatibility complex class I–related protein 1 (MR1) presents metabolite-derived antigens to mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and other MR1-restricted T cells, playing a critical role in immune surveillance during…
