Chaperone- and PTM-mediated Activation of IRF1 Tames Radiation-induced Cell Death and the Inflammatory Response

Study on IRF1 Transcriptional Activation Regulation of Radiation-Induced Cell Death and Inflammatory Response under Mutagenic Stress Background Recent multi-omics studies have revealed the key role of structural cells in immune regulation, but the mechanism remains unclear. Based on this, this study mainly explores how the transcriptional activatio...

HIF-1α and MIF Enhance Neutrophil-Driven Type 3 Immunity and Chondrogenesis in a Murine Spondyloarthritis Model

Research Background and Research Questions Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a typical disease characterized by type 3 immune-driven inflammation and new bone formation (NBF). Although previous studies have shown that Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of SpA, its interactions with other molecules and specifi...

Distinct Palmitoylation of FoxP3 Regulates the Function of Regulatory T Cells via Palmitoyltransferases

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...

Redefining the ontogeny of hyalocytes as yolk sac-derived tissue-resident macrophages of the vitreous body

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...

Morphotype-Specific Calcium Signaling in Human Microglia

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...

Inflammatory Mechanisms in Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Epilepsy: A Study

Neuroinflammation and Epilepsy: The Role of Inflammasomes in Traumatic Brain Injury Background and Purpose Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to changes in brain function and pathology resulting from physical trauma to the head or neck. Apart from common behavioral and psychological disorders, post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is one of the most sever...

The impact of high-fat diet on microglial cells and its effects on brain function

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...

Park7/DJ-1 Deficiency Impairs Microglial Activation in Response to LPS-Induced Inflammation

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...

Deletion of myeloid HDAC3 promotes efferocytosis to ameliorate retinal ischemic injury

The Role of HDAC3 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Background Retinal ischemia-induced retinal diseases are significant characteristics of common visual impairments such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusion. The therapeutic effects for these ischemic retinal diseases are generally ineffective, and the des...

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Accelerates the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease by Modulating Microglial Phagocytosis and Activating NLRP3 Pathway

HSV-1 Infection Accelerates the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: Through the Regulation of Microglial Phagocytosis and Activation of the NLRP3 Pathway Research Background With the intensification of global aging, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has become a neurodegenerative disease affecting millions of people. In recent years, an increasing number of...
