    Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS) through inflammation. MS symptoms become acute if the disease progresses to the relapsing phase.
    Aim: This review aimed to evaluate the role played by regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the pathogenesis of MS.
    Methods: This review used scholarly journal articles obtained from PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL with different search parameters such as 'regulatory T cells', 'multiple sclerosis', and 'current knowledge'. The process of searching for articles was limited to those that had publication dates falling between 2010 and 2020.
    Results: Tregs play a role in the pathogenesis of MS. This conclusion is supported by animal disease models and environmental factors that can underlie Treg alterations in MS. Despite the knowledge of the role played by Tregs in MS pathogenesis, the specific subsets of Tregs involved in MS development remain incompletely understood.
    Discussion: This review provides an essential link between Tregs and MS activity. Targeting Tregs could be an efficient way to establish new treatment methods for MS management.
    Conclusion: MS is a complex condition affecting many people worldwide. Research has shown that Tregs can influence MS development and progression. More investigations are needed to understand how Tregs affect the pathogenesis of MS.

    Abstract Nucleotides and platelets have been associated with a wide range of activities that affect the host inflammatory response. The main goal of this study is to examine the roles of nucleotide signaling and platelets in inflammation. The study analysis entailed conducting a systematic search to identify relevant articles in PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL. The evidence gathered from the identified articles shows the roles of nucleotides and platelets in inflammation. In the extracellular environment, nucleotides act as signaling molecules that can activate nucleotide receptors to promote inflammation. Inflammation is an essential process through which the innate immune system responds to pathogens, microbes, and damage-associated molecular patterns. Moreover, research evidence shows that the mechanisms through which platelets affect inflammatory responses and regulate hemostasis are the same. The roles of nucleotides and platelets in inflammation have been explored in several studies worldwide. Although platelets and nucleotides have unique structures, both of them influence the host response to pathogens and tumors. Analysis of platelets and nucleotides will offer valuable insight for the development of new treatments for infectious and inflammatory diseases.

    Abstract The innate immune system acts rapidly in an identical and nonspecific way every time the body is exposed to pathogens. As such, it cannot build and maintain immunological memory to help prevent reinfection. Researchers contend that trained immunity is influenced by intracellular metabolic pathways and epigenetic remodeling. The purpose of this review was to explore the topic of trained innate immunity based on the results of relevant previous studies. This systematic review entailed identifying articles related to trained innate immunity. The sources were obtained from PubMed using different search terms that included "trained innate immunity," "trained immunity," "trained," "innate," "immunity," and "immune system." Boolean operators were used to combine terms and phrases. A review of previous study results revealed that little is currently known about the molecular and cellular processes that mediate or induce a trained immune response in animals. However, it is believed that alterations in the phenotypes of cell populations and the numbers of specific cells may play a critical role in mediating the trained immune response. Increasing evidence shows that the protective processes and actions that occur during a secondary infection are not entirely linked to the adaptive immune system. Instead, these events also involve heightened activation of innate immune cells. While trained innate immune cells may have a shorter memory, they assist in the fight against pathogens and provide cross-protection. Identification of the mechanisms and molecules that underlie trained innate immunity has highlighted important features of the human immune response. Such advances continue to open doors for future research on how the body responds to disease-causing pathogens.

    Abstract Significant advances have been observed in the field of cell biology, with numerous studies exploring the molecular genetic pathways that have contributed to species evolution and disease development. The current study adds to the existing body of research evidence by reviewing information related to the role of leftover viruses and/or viral remnants in human physiology. To explore leftover viruses, their incorporation, and their roles in human physiology. The study entailed conducting a systematic search in the PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases to locate articles related to the topic of investigation. The search terms included "leftovers," "viruses," "genome sequences," "transposable elements," "immune response," and "evolution." Additional articles were selected from the references of the studies identified in the electronic databases. Evidence showed that both retroviruses and nonretroviruses can be integrated into the human germline via various mechanisms. The role of leftover viruses in human physiology has been explored by studying the activation of human retroviral genes in the human placenta, RNA transfer between neurons through virus-like particles, and RNA transfer through extracellular vesicles. Research evidence suggested that leftover viruses play key roles in human physiology. A more complete understanding of the underlying pathways may provide an avenue for studying human evolution and allow researchers to determine the pathogenesis of some viral infections. Evidence obtained in this review shows that leftover viruses may be incorporated into the human genome. Retroviral genes are critical for the development of different parts of the body, such as the placenta in mammals.

    Abstract Various autoimmune diseases are associated with defects in protein degradation and NETosis. This review aims to examine defects in ubiquitination and NETosis and their associations with human disease. This study involved a systematic search of electronic databases, including PubMed, EBSCO, and LILACS, to locate articles on the relationship between human disease and defects in protein degradation and NETosis. Ubiquitination and NETosis can trigger a cascade of events that affect immune system function and impact the body's ability to fight disease. Ubiquitination is implicated in various disorders, such as Liddle's syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders, whereas NETosis has been linked to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis, accelerated atherosclerosis, thrombosis, rheumatoid arthritis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and renal inflammatory complications. Researchers have attempted for years to identify the link between neurodegenerative disease and ubiquitination. Previous studies analysed the relationships between different autoimmune disorders and NETosis and identified various ubiquitin conjugates and NET remnants that trigger disease development and progression. Ubiquitination and NETosis play key roles in the emergence and progression of neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the relationships between these disorders and biological processes.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common, severe neurological disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Nevertheless, the actual cause of MS remains unknown. Smoking has been studied with respect to MS development and progression. The objectives of this review were to examine the relationship between smoking and MS and to understand the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the association. PubMed was searched for articles related to the study topic published between 2012 and 2020 using the search terms "multiple sclerosis," "smoking," "risk factors," "cigarettes," and "molecular mechanisms." Studies show a significant relationship between smoking and the risk of MS. Furthermore, smoking has been linked to the progression of MS at the patient and population levels. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be explored in further studies; researchers still disagree on how the relationship between smoking and MS arises in different populations. Evidence from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and epidemiological studies shows that smokers have a higher risk of developing MS and experiencing related adverse symptoms and complications.

    Abstract The mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of diabetes is complex and poorly understood. Recent investigations have revealed that insulin gene mutations can lead to the development of specific subtypes of diabetes. This systematic review aimed to explore the associations of insulin gene mutations and insulin translocation defects with diabetes. This review was generated using articles from PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Search terms and phrases such as "diabetes," "mutations," "insulin," "preproinsulin," "INS gene," "role," "VNTR polymorphisms," and "INS promotor" were used to identify articles relevant to the research topic. The gathered data showed the significant role of insulin gene mutations and insulin translocation defects during diabetes development and progression. Genetic changes can adversely affect the development of various types of diabetes, such as neonatal diabetes mellitus and MIDY. Genetic alterations can affect insulin production, thus compromising the regulation of glucose utilization by tissues. Targeting insulin gene mutations is a potential new avenue for diagnosing and managing diabetes. There are specific subcategories of diabetes, such as MIDY and neonatal diabetes mellitus, caused by insulin gene mutations and defects in posttranslational modification. Further investigations are needed to examine the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of mutation-based biomarkers.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects ~2.5 million people globally. Women of reproductive age are highly susceptible to this disease. This study aims to explore the association between MS and pregnancy. Articles related to the topic under investigation were identified; the search terms included "pregnancy", "multiple sclerosis", "MS", and "women". Only articles published between 2010 and 2020 were included in the review. This review shows that researchers have attempted to explore the link between pregnancy and MS, and the results from previous studies indicate that pregnancy reduces the risk of MS relapse. However, evidence suggesting that pregnancy can affect the long-term progression of MS is lacking. The research results also indicate that MS does not increase the risk of maternal and fetal complications. MS remains a serious autoimmune disorder that affects many women worldwide. The data gathered during this review indicate that a significant correlation exists between pregnancy and MS relapse rates. The findings presented in this review can aid in the management of MS during pregnancy. Furthermore, these research results provide vital insights that caregivers can use to monitor patients with MS during pregnancy.
