1. Academic Background and Research Origin Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are the foundation for maintaining the steady state of the adult blood system. Every day, the human body needs to generate billions of new blood cells—a process that relies on the capacity of HSPCs for self-renewal and directed differentiation within the bone mar...

New Mechanism of Immune Cell Migration Revealed: How Monocytes “Pioneer Their Path” in the Tumor Microenvironment I. Academic Research Background and the Central Question Cell migration is a crucial biological process in life, encompassing embryonic development, tissue repair, immune responses, and the progression of various diseases. In the contex...

In cell biology, the glycosylation modification of cell surface glycoproteins plays a crucial role in processes such as cell signaling, adhesion, and migration. How dynamic changes in glycosylation regulate intracellular transport and function, particularly the internalization of cell surface receptors through endocytosis, remains an incompletely u...

Study on Reducing Toxicity of CAR-T Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors Academic Background Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has made significant progress in treating hematologic malignancies, but its application in solid tumors faces major challenges. Solid tumors often lack tumor-specific antigens (TSAs), and CAR-T cells may attack norm...

The Role and Mechanism of STEAP3 in Cervical Cancer Background Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with approximately 600,000 new cases and 300,000 deaths annually. Although the five-year survival rate for early-stage cervical cancer patients exceeds 85% through treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and c...

Supramolecular Hydrogels Driven by β-Sheet Fibrillating Peptides for Enhanced Diabetic Wound Healing Academic Background Diabetic wound healing is a global health issue. Due to microvascular complications and immune dysfunction caused by hyperglycemia, the wound healing process in diabetic patients is often severely hindered. Traditional treatments...

In the past few decades, with the rapid development of science and technology, human understanding of the immune system has continuously deepened. Among all immune cells, professional phagocytes (such as neutrophils and macrophages) play a crucial role in clearing apoptotic cells, cell debris, and invading pathogens. These cells uptake and engulf f...
