The Roles of RhoA/ROCK/NF-κB Pathway in Microglia Polarization Following Ischemic Stroke

Overview of the Role of RhoA/ROCK/NF-κB Pathway in Microglial Polarization after Ischemic Stroke In recent years, ischemic stroke has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. However, effective treatments for ischemic stroke are still lacking. Studies have shown that microglia, as resident macrophages in the central nervo...

JAK1/2 Regulates Synergy Between Interferon Gamma and Lipopolysaccharides in Microglia

This article was completed by scholars Alexander P. Young and Ei...

β-sitosterol alleviates neuropathic pain by affecting microglia polarization through inhibiting tlr4/nf-κb signaling pathway

β-Sitosterol Alleviates Neuropathic Pain by Inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathway Background Neuropathic pain is a common and difficult-to-treat chronic pain condition in clinical practice, with complex and not fully understood etiology. Research has shown that neuroinflammation is one of the main causes of chronic neuropathic pain. Microglia...

Doxycycline-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles with a pectin coat can ameliorate lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation via enhancing AMPK

Protective Effect of Doxycycline-Loaded Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles on LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation in Mice In the field of neuroscience research, neuroinflammation is an important pathological feature of many neurological diseases. Neuroinflammation is a complex response of the central nervous system (CNS) to various damaging triggers (such a...

Alleviating CB2-dependent ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction improves chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment

Research Overview and Background With the acceleration of global aging, the incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases is also rising significantly. Elderly people over 65 are particularly susceptible to cognitive decline caused by cerebral ischemia, making Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion (CCH) a major cause of cognitive impairment and Vascular ...

Lipid Droplet Accumulation Mediates Macrophage Survival and Treg Recruitment via the CCL20/CCR6 Axis in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

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 ...

BAG6 restricts pancreatic cancer progression by suppressing the release of IL33-presenting extracellular vesicles and the activation of mast cells

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...

Exportin 1 governs the immunosuppressive functions of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in tumors through Erk1/2 nuclear export

Paper Report Research Background Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) are a major driving force in tumor immune suppression. Understanding their mechanisms can provide new therapeutic targets to improve anti-tumor immunity, as the development and immunosuppressive function of these cells directly affect anti-tumor immune responses. In preclinic...

Depleting Profibrotic Macrophages Using Bioactivated In Vivo Assembly Peptides Ameliorates Kidney Fibrosis

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 ...

Mechanistic Study on SENP6 Regulation of IFN-I Signaling Pathway and Antiviral Activity

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 ...
