Definition: Faisalabad histiocytosis is a form of histiocytosis associated with sensorineural deafness and joint contractures.
Faisalabad histiocytosis (MIM.602782) was first described as a novel autosomal recessive form of histiocytosis in a highly consanguineous family originating from Pakistan.
Affected individuals were born with joint deformities, sensorineural hearing loss and subsequently developed a generalized lymphadenopathy and swellings in their eyelids that were shown to (...)

NKT cells are key players in the regulation of antitumor immunity, particularly in experimental models of tumor immunotherapy, such as IL-12 or alpha-galactosylceramide administration. They may also operate in natural antitumor immunity.
NKT cells are best known for their immunosuppressive functions; however, NKT cells interact with a range of other cell types (particularly dendritic cells and NK cells) and the outcome of NKT-cell stimulation depends on these and on the (...)
