MGA Deletion Leads to Richter’s Transformation by Modulating Mitochondrial OXPHOS

MGA Deletion Promotes Richter’s Transformation by Regulating Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation This article mainly focuses on the transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) into aggressive lymphoma, known as Richter’s Transformation (RT), exploring the function and molecular mechanism of MGA (MAX Gene Associated). MGA is a functiona...

In Vivo Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition Attenuates Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease by Regulating CD84-Mediated Granulopoiesis

Research Background Severe alcoholic hepatitis (ALD) is a fatal form of alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD). The course of ALD is usually accompanied by neutrophil infiltration in the liver, which significantly affects the severity of the condition. However, the specific effects of alcohol on neutrophil function remain unclear. Based on this, i...

Superior Fidelity and Distinct Editing Outcomes of SaCas9 Compared with SpCas9 in Genome Editing

Comparison of SaCas9 and SpCas9 in High-Fidelity and Different Gene Editing Outcomes Research Background CRISPR systems based on Cas9 protein have become powerful tools for genome editing, widely used in basic research and clinical gene therapy. Currently, the most commonly used Cas9 variants are SpCas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes and SaCas9 from S...

Comprehensive Characterization and Global Transcriptome Analysis of Human Fetal Liver Terminal Erythropoiesis

Comprehensive Characterization and Transcriptome Analysis of Terminal Erythropoiesis in Human Fetal Liver Background and Research Question Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell production. Initially, “primitive” erythropoiesis occurs in the yolk sac, gradually replaced by “terminal” erythropoiesis in the fetal liver (FL) and postnatal bon...

Timing of Anticoagulation Resumption and Risk of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Complications in Patients with Intracranial Hemorrhage and Mechanical Heart Valves

Exploration of Anticoagulation Therapy Resumption Time After ICH in Mechanical Heart Valve Patients Background and Motivation For patients with mechanical heart valves, determining the appropriate time to resume oral anticoagulation therapy after experiencing an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a significant clinical challenge. These patients...

Increased IL-6 Levels and the Upregulation of Iron Regulatory Biomarkers Contribute to the Progression of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection's Pathogenesis

Elevated IL-6 Levels and Upregulation of Iron-Regulatory Biomarkers Promote Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection In this research paper, the authors explore changes in inflammatory response and iron-regulatory biomarkers during Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) infection. A comprehensive analysis of iron-regulatory biomarkers and inflammatory resp...

Aβ-Aggregation-Generated Blue Autofluorescence Illuminates Senile Plaques as Well as Complex Blood and Vascular Pathologies in Alzheimer’s Disease

Blue Autofluorescence Generated by Aβ Aggregation Illuminates Senile Plaques and Complex Blood and Vascular Pathologies in Alzheimer’s Disease Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder globally, with senile plaques being the main pathological hallmark of AD, primarily composed of β-amyloid protein (Aβ)....

4-1BB-encoding CAR causes cell death via sequestration of the ubiquitin-modifying enzyme A20

Background Introduction Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) have shown great potential in immunotherapy for certain hematological malignancies. However, how the CD28 and 4-1BB costimulatory domains included in CAR molecules function in CAR-T cells is still not fully understood. Both CD28 and 4-1BB domains exhibit significantly different...

Synergy of TL1A and IL-18 promotes GM-CSF-dependent thymic granulopoiesis in mice

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...

Astrocytic Stress Response Induced by Exposure to Astrocyte-Binding Antibodies in Pediatric Acute Transverse Myelitis Cases

B-cell Response in Pediatric Acute Transverse Myelitis Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory disease of the spinal cord with an incidence of 1.7-2 cases per million children per year. ATM typically presents with limb weakness, sensory loss, and bladder/bowel dysfunction, with symptoms rapidly developing over hours t...
