TGF-β and its mRNA were enhanced in CD8⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺Treg cell cultures from NP versus those from normal tissues. In addition, levels of MPO and IFN-γ were reduced after CD8⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺Treg cells administration. ConclusionThese findings indicated that CD8⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺Treg cells may play a role in the regulation of neutrophilic inflammation, and b…[Read more]

Our results show that MS patients can learn to change voluntarily their ANS activity using biofeedback instructions based on SCR and this can be used in future studies to test the postulated link between ANS and fatigue. However, in this experimental intervention we were unable to document a relation between ANS activity and fatigue. Trial…[Read more]
