Lipid Droplet Accumulation Mediates Macrophage Survival and Treg Recruitment in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma via the CCL20/CCR6 Axis Background Macrophages are a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and regulate the entire tumor process. In the TME, macrophages exhibit dynamic heterogeneity and plasticity, which affects their role ...
Research Report on the Mechanism of BAG6 Restricting Pancreatic Cancer Progression Research Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor prognosis, with a median survival of only 6 months, urgently requiring new treatment methods. In recent years, studies have found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by tumor cel...
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 ...
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...
Targeting STING in Dendritic Cells Alleviates Psoriatic Inflammation Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease primarily caused by abnormal activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, ultimately leading to increased cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17A. The cGAS-STING pathway is known to play a key role in psoriatic i...
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Cortical Activity - Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Evaluation Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a device that induces currents within the cerebral cortex through the generation of a magnetic fiel...
Morphology-Specific Calcium Signaling Characteristics in Human Microglia Background and Research Objectives Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), involved in almost all physiological and pathological processes, including development, synaptic transmission, neuroplasticity, sleep, trauma, glioblastoma, and neuro...
Research on Saturated Fatty Acids and Brain Function Background Introduction Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major global health challenges today. Numerous studies have shown that excessive consumption of diets rich in saturated fats leads to obesity, accompanied by a series of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance and diabetes. How...
Journal of Neuroinflammation Research Report: Neuroprotective Effects of Prevotella copri Transplantation in a Traumatic Brain Injury Mouse Model Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects over 50 million people globally each year and is considered a significant public health challenge. Secondary injuries associated with TBI are largely relate...
The Role of Cystatin F in Regulating Neuroinflammation and Demyelination in Spinal Cord Poliovirus Infection Background Knowledge Cystatin F is a secreted lysosomal cysteine protease inhibitor associated with every stage of virus-related neurological diseases, including host defense, demyelination, and myelination. However, research on how Cystatin...
