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...
CRISPR-Cas-Based Epigenome Editing in Alzheimer’s Disease: Engineered Exosomes with a Photoinducible Protein Delivery System Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive decline in cognitive function and memory, with currently limited treatment options. Genome editing technologies, such as ...
Reactivation of Insulin Receptors Can Restore Brain Function in Early Lepr-Deficient Mice Background Obesity is a chronic disease caused by excessive fat accumulation, affecting both body and brain health. Deficiency of the insulin receptor (Leptin receptor, Lepr) is considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of obesity. Insulin plays a cru...
Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogue Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells During Mouse Follicle Development Overview Follicle development and maturation is a complex, multi-stage process. During this process, dynamic gene expression in oocytes and surrounding somatic cells, as well as the dialogue between them, play crucial roles. This study rev...
