Unsaturation of Fatty Acids Promotes Pore-Forming Activity of Bax and Bak in Apoptosis Background Apoptosis is the major form of programmed cell death, involved in fundamental biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and immune system functions. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to neurodegenerative diseases and tum...
Acetate Reprograms Tumor Metabolism and Promotes Immune Evasion and PD-L1 Expression by Upregulating c-myc Introduction Reprogramming of tumor metabolism is of great significance in cancer research, and acetate plays a crucial role in this process. In tumor cells, acetate is an important precursor of acetyl-CoA, which is used for energy production,...
Oxygen is an essential substance for all metazoan organisms on Earth, influencing biological processes under various physiological and pathological conditions. Although systems that induce acute hypoxic responses, including the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, have been identified, their mechanisms of action under prolonged hypoxia remain in...
Comprehensive Academic Report on Scientific Paper Research Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting approximately 2.8 million people worldwide. The pathological mechanisms of this disease are mainly related to autoimmune-mediated demyelination and axonal transectio...
Single-Cell Analysis of Anti-BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy in Patients with Central Nervous System Autoimmune Diseases Introduction Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown potential long-term control in treating central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases. This paper investigates the effects of anti-BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen) ...
Scientific Paper Report Discoveries in the field of science often have significant implications for understanding natural phenomena and improving practical applications. Recently, a research paper published in Science Immunology titled “Serine enrichment in tumors promotes regulatory T cell accumulation through sphinganine-mediated regulation of c-...
Genome-wide screening identifies TRIM33 as an essential regulator of dendritic cell differentiation Background Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity by recognizing pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (such as TLRs) and modulating antigen-specific T cell responses. DCs are mainly divided into two ty...
TH17 Endogenous IL-1β–STAT5 Axis Drives Steroid Resistance in Autoimmune Neuroinflammation Academic Background Steroid resistance is a major challenge in managing various inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune neuroinflammation. T helper 17 (TH17) cells are widely believed to be associated with steroid resistance. However, the specific mechani...
Nucleotide Adduct Binding MR1 and Activation of MR1-Restricted T Cells Academic Background MR1T cells, a recently discovered class of T cells, can recognize antigens presented by MHC class I-related molecule MR1 without microbial infection. These cells exhibit both helper and cytotoxic properties in vitro, but the endogenous antigens they recognize...
Heart Failure Promotes Multimorbidity through Innate Immune Memory Research Background Despite significant medical advances, the mortality rate of heart failure (HF) remains high, necessitating new therapeutic targets. HF patients often experience acute decompensation and develop comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease and frailty syndrome. Th...
