Preface Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by long-term damage to kidney structure, leading to gradual loss of kidney function. Currently, about 10% of adults worldwide are affected by CKD, causing approximately 1.2 million deaths annually. Renal fibrosis is one of the pathological manifestations of CKD, characterized by the ...
In recent years, increasing evidence from research on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has shown that neutrophils play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of intestinal inflammation. IBD includes Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and while its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, abnormal immune responses are clear...
Academic Background and Research Question In antiviral efficacy research, type I interferon (IFN-I) has been widely used clinically due to its broad-spectrum antiviral properties. However, the specific signaling mechanism and regulatory modes of IFN-I remain complex and not fully elucidated. In light of this, experts have begun to pay attention to ...
Study on IRF1 Transcriptional Activation Regulation of Radiation-Induced Cell Death and Inflammatory Response under Mutagenic Stress Background Recent multi-omics studies have revealed the key role of structural cells in immune regulation, but the mechanism remains unclear. Based on this, this study mainly explores how the transcriptional activatio...
Background Introduction In acute systemic inflammatory conditions, the immune system undergoes significant changes, typically characterized by increased myeloid cell generation and suppressed lymphocyte production. In the thymus specifically, systemic inflammation leads to acute thymic atrophy and subsequent impairment of T lymphocyte generation. H...
Research Background and Research Questions Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a typical disease characterized by type 3 immune-driven inflammation and new bone formation (NBF). Although previous studies have shown that Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of SpA, its interactions with other molecules and specifi...
Unique Foxp3 Palmitoylation Regulates Tregs Function through Palmitoyltransferases Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive immune responses. As important suppressors of immune reactions, Tregs help maintain immune tolerance, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases. However, in the tum...
This report is based on the following research article: “neutrophil–macrophage communication via extracellular vesicle transfer promotes itaconate accumulation and ameliorates cytokine storm syndrome”, written by Haixia Kang, Ting Liu, Yuanyuan Wang, Wenjuan Bai, Yan Luo, and Jing Wang, published in the journal “Cellular & Molecular Immunology” in ...
Spatiotemporal Regulation of KLF2 and T-bet by Eomesodermin During NK Cell Development I. Research Background Natural Killer (NK) cells are important cells in the immune system, capable of recognizing and killing tumor cells and pathogen-infected cells. The generation and development of NK cells depend on the gradual acquisition of a series of spec...
Research Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the body’s abnormal response to microbial infection. It has high morbidity and mortality, mainly due to excessive inflammatory response and metabolic disorders. Studies have shown that myeloid cells (such as monocytes and macrophages) play a key role in the pathog...
