Background The pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE—an animal model of MS) is primarily mediated by T cells. However, recent studies have only focused on interleukin (IL)‐17‐secreting CD4⁺ T‐helper cells, also known as Th17 cells. This study aimed to compare Th17 cells and IL‐17‐secreting CD8⁺ T...

Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) and the experimental autoimmune MG (EAMG) animal model are characterized by T-cell-induced and B-cell-dominated autoimmune diseases that affect the neuromuscular junction. Several subtypes of CD4⁺ T cells, including T helper (Th) 17 cells, follicular Th cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs), contribute to the patho...

... Based on the results of this pathology, as well as other diseases involving memory disorders, degeneration of cholinergic neurons occurs very often, the level of Ach-a key neurotransmitter for memory Pharmaceuticals 2024, 17, 809 2 of 18 regulation-decreases, and impairment of cholinergic transmission follows. In connection with these, the most important symptom of AD is memory loss and cognition-related disturbances [1,2]. Currently, the treatment of cognitive disorders is based only on symptomatic management. ...
