The Potential Role of Platelet-Activating Factor in Cancer Immunotherapy Background Cancer immunotherapy has been a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment in recent years, but its efficacy is still limited by the immunosuppressive mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME supports the differentiation and proliferation of mye...

Review of the Study on the Relationship Between IL-6 Signaling and the Anti-Tumor Activity of TGFβ-Specific T Cells Background and Significance of the Study Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a critical role in inflammation and hematopoiesis. However, its role in the immune system is context-dependent. While it has pro-inflam...

Research Background and Motivation Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a global health issue infecting and killing millions annually. Despite advances in TB diagnosis and treatment, the immune evasion strategies employed by Mtb remain a critical reason for its prolonged survival in the host, leading to chronic infectio...

Critical Role of UBXN6 in Autophagy Induction and Inflammation Control in Macrophages Background The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense against pathogen invasion and inflammatory responses. Monocytes and macrophages, as key cell types in the innate immune system, play critical roles during infection and inflammation. However, ...

Inhibition of JAK2/mTOR Fails to Effectively Prevent Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD): Limitations of Targeting Th1/Th17 Cells In recent years, the role of systemic immunosuppressive therapies in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) has come under scrutiny. Th1 (T...

The Role of lncRNA-Mediated ceRNA Network in Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma Academic Background Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma (PSCC) is a relatively rare but life-threatening malignancy that poses a significant health risk to men, particularly in developing countries. Despite advancements in medical diagnosis and treatment, the overall survival ra...

Study on the Role of Coagulation Factor X in Anti-androgen Resistance in Prostate Cancer Research Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The occurrence and progression of prostate cancer are highly dependent on the androgen receptor (AR) signaling...

The Effect of Immunosuppression on the Risk of Generalization in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis Background Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG) is an early and localized manifestation of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), with many patients initially presenting with ocular symptoms such as fatigable ptosis and diplopia. Approximately 85% of MG patients initially exhibit ...

Single-Cell Atlas Reveals Immunosuppressive Microenvironment and Treg Cell Distribution in Recurrent Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is the most aggressive brain tumor, with a very high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Although many studies have explored the tumor microenvironment of this disease, the understanding of the immune microenvironment in re...

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Enhanced Immunosuppression Background Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells found in almost all tissues and possess significant immunosuppressive and regenerative properties. These features make MSCs widely studied for the treatment of immune diseases and tissue regenera...
