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...
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...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the developmental origin, biological characteristics, and association with eye diseases of tissue-resident macrophages in the field of ophthalmology—hyalocytes. The eye is a highly specialized sensory organ that contains the retina, part of the central nervous system, as well as non-neuronal parts like the tr...
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...
Study on the Role of Gut Microbiota in White Matter Repair after Traumatic Brain Injury - Analysis of “Journal of Neuroinflammation” Introduction Every year, around 1.7 million people in the United States experience traumatic brain injury (TBI), with over 5 million facing disability issues related to TBI. These non-fatal TBIs are estimated to incur...
Important Research Interpretation from “Journal of Neuroinflammation” 2024: The Impact of Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency on Microglial Activation Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the accumulation of α-synuclein and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Aging is the primary...
Study on Mouse Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy Based on Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Background Organ dysfunction leading to death in sepsis is related to an imbalance in the host’s response to infection, and it has a high global mortality rate. Recent studies have shown that sepsis can cause brain dysfunction, known as sepsis-associate...
