Study of a Novel NUMB Loss-of-Function Mutation Leading to Hyperuricemia and Gout

NUMB Gene Variant: A Novel Mechanism in Gout Development Background Gout is one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis worldwide, primarily triggered by the persistent elevation of serum uric acid levels, known as hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia leads to the deposition of urate crystals, resulting in inflammation of joints and other tissue...

A Distinct Metabolic and Epigenetic State Drives Trained Immunity in HSC-Derived Macrophages from Autoimmune Mice

Metabolic and Epigenetic States of HSC-Derived Macrophages in Autoimmune Diseases and Their Driving Mechanism of Trained Immunity Research Background In the context of autoimmune diseases (AD), studies have shown that prolonged activation of the immune system and inflammatory responses affect not only mature immune cells but also have profound effe...

Endothelial Metabolic Control of Insulin Sensitivity Through Resident Macrophages

Endothelial Cells Influence Insulin Sensitivity Through Metabolic Regulation of Resident Macrophages In recent years, metabolic diseases, especially insulin resistance and diabetes, have become significant global health issues. Muscle tissue, being one of the main organs for glucose metabolism in the human body, has its insulin sensitivity closely ...

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...

Obesity Intensifies Sex-specific Interferon Signaling to Selectively Worsen Central Nervous System Autoimmunity in Females

Obesity Aggravates Female Central Nervous System Autoimmune Diseases Through Sex-Specific Interferon Signaling In recent years, the rising incidence of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases in females has garnered widespread attention. Obesity, as a potential environmental risk factor, has gradually become a research hotspot. The latest ...

IL-22 Resolves MASLD via Enterocyte STAT3 Restoration of Diet-Perturbed Intestinal Homeostasis

IL-22 Restores Gut Homeostasis and Alleviates Diet-Induced MASLD In recent years, the incidence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has significantly increased, closely related to the widespread consumption of high-energy diets rich in sugars and fats. MASLD is not only closely linked to metabolic diseases such as ob...
