TL;DR: FMT from a rationally selected donor reduced hospitalizations, improved cognition, and dysbiosis in cirrhosis with recurrent HE, and increased diversity and beneficial taxa.

TL;DR: The antibacterial potency of MAIT cells is compromised as a consequence of contact with microbial products and microbiota, suggesting that the ‘leaky’ gut observed in ALD drives MAIT cell dysfunction and susceptibility to infection in these patients.

Decrease and dysfunction of dendritic cells correlate with impaired hepatitis C virus-specific CD4+ T-cell proliferation in patients with hepatitis C virus infection
Silvia Della Bella,Andrea Crosignani,Antonio Riva,Pietro Presicce,A. Benetti,Renato Longhi,Mauro Podda,Maria Luisa Villa +7 more
TL;DR: Results seem to suggest that cytokines of DC origin contribute to the regulation of HCV‐specific immunity in CHC patients and indicate that PBDCs may represent a novel non‐invasive tool for immune monitoring of these patients.

Functional repertoire of dendritic cells generated in granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interferon-α
TL;DR: The ability of IFN–DCs to promote more balanced cytokine responses may suggest the advisability to consider these cells in the development of future, DC‐based immunotherapy trials.

Quantitative and functional defects of dendritic cells in classic Kaposi’s sarcoma
Silvia Della Bella,Stefania Nicola,Lucia Brambilla,Antonio Riva,Silvia Ferrucci,Pietro Presicce,Vinicio Boneschi,Emilio Berti,Maria Luisa Villa +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that PBDCs and their precursors are altered in cKS and suggest that soluble circulating factors participate in this process and may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of cKS.
