peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)

Circadian Regulation of Immune cells

Circadian Regulation of Immune cells

The reciprocal interplay between the circadian clock machinery and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis has been largely demonstrated: the circadian clock may control the physiological circadian endogenous glucocorticoid (GC) secretion and action; GCs, in turn, are potent regulators of the circadian clock and their inappropriate replacement has been associated with metabolic and immune impairment.

Proteomics study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in down syndrome children

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder and the leading genetic cause of intellectual disability in humans, which results from the triplication of chromosome 21. To search for biomarkers for the early detection and exploration of the disease mechanisms, here, we investigated the protein expression signature of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in DS children compared with healthy donors (HD) by using an in-depth label-free shotgun proteomics approach.
