Multiomic Analysis Identifies Survival Predictors in African American Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Predictors of Survival in African American AML Patients Background and Objectives Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid progenitor cells driven by genomic alterations. Despite advances in genomic profiling, studies focusing on diverse ancestral populations ...

Selective Advantage of Mutant Stem Cells in Human Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Attenuated Response to Inflammation and Aging

Selective Advantage of Clonal Hematopoietic Mutant Stem Cells in Aging and Inflammatory Responses Background and Research Motivation Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) is an aging-related phenomenon in the hematopoietic system, where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) acquire specific somatic mutations and undergo expansion, causing a particular mutated cell l...

Dietary Timing-Induced Gut Microbiota Diurnal Oscillations Modulate Inflammatory Rhythms in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Influence of Dietary Timing on Circadian Rhythms of Gut Microbiota and Rheumatoid Arthritis Inflammation Background Introduction Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and progressive joint destruction, severely affecting the quality of life of patients. The inflammation and symptoms of RA p...

SGLT2 Inhibitor Promotes Ketogenesis to Improve MASH by Suppressing CD8+ T Cell Activation

SGLT2 Inhibitor Promotes Ketogenesis to Improve MASH by Suppressing CD8+ T Cell Activation

Research on SGLT2 Inhibitors Alleviating MASH by Enhancing Ketogenesis to Inhibit CD8+ T Cell Activation Research Background and Problem Positioning Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has become a global health concern. Its severe stage, Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), leads to hepatocyte damag...

A Multidimensional Analysis of the Impact of Obesity on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy Efficacy

Background and Research Motivation Obesity has been identified as an important risk factor for various malignancies. It not only promotes the growth and spread of tumor cells but also leads to generally poorer prognosis in patients. However, recent research has found that obese patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) therapy, especial...

CD137L Inhibition Ameliorates Hippocampal Neuroinflammation and Behavioral Deficits in a Mouse Model of Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy

Background Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by uncontrolled infection in the host, and is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care units. It is reported that there are approximately 189 adult sepsis hospitalization cases per 100,000 person-years, with a mortality rate of 26.7%. Sepsis-...

Uncovering Sex-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanism Involving H3K9me2 in Neural Inflammation, Damage, and Recovery in the Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion Mouse Model

Research Reveals Gender-Specific Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in Neuroinflammation, Injury, and Recovery Background Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Due to limited understanding of its linked disease mechanisms, current treatments for alleviating acute ischemic brain injury are very limited. Recent...

Circular RNA-GRIN2B Suppresses Neuropathic Pain by Targeting the NF-κB/SLICK Pathway

Mechanism Study of Circular RNA-GRIN2B Inhibiting Neuropathic Pain Background Introduction Neuropathic pain is a persistent pain caused by damage to the somatic sensory nervous system, with its etiology not yet fully understood and clinical treatment facing many difficulties. Given the complexity of neuropathic pain, there is an urgent need to reve...

MERTK Reduces Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Permeability Through the RhoA/ROCK1/P-MLC Pathway After Spinal Cord Injury

Study on MERTK Reducing Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Permeability after Spinal Cord Injury via RhoA/ROCK1/p-MLC Pathway Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a central nervous system disease caused by trauma, inflammation, tumors, or other pathological reasons, resulting in sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction in patients, imposing a heavy b...

Amorfrutin B Compromises Hypoxia/Ischemia-Induced Activation of Human Microglia in a PPARγ-Dependent Manner: Effects on Inflammation, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial Status

Research on the Effects of Amorfrutin B on Human Microglia under Hypoxia/Ischemia Conditions: Anti-inflammatory Action, Proliferation Potential, and Mitochondrial State Based on the PPARγ Pathway Research Background Hypoxia/ischemia is a major cause of brain injury in both neonatal and adult populations. Perinatal asphyxia and ischemic stroke are l...
