Ubiquitin Regulatory X (UBX) Domain-Containing Protein 6 is Essential for Autophagy Induction and Inflammation Control in Macrophages

Critical Role of UBXN6 in Autophagy Induction and Inflammation Control in Macrophages Background The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense against pathogen invasion and inflammatory responses. Monocytes and macrophages, as key cell types in the innate immune system, play critical roles during infection and inflammation. However, ...

Alternative mRNA Polyadenylation Regulates Macrophage Hyperactivation via the Autophagy Pathway

NUDT21 Regulates Macrophage Hyperactivation via the Autophagy Pathway Academic Background The inflammatory response is a critical component of the body’s immune defense, facilitating pathogen clearance and tissue repair. However, dysregulation of the inflammatory response can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease ...

Multiomic Analysis Identifies Survival Predictors in African American Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Predictors of Survival in African American AML Patients Background and Objectives Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid progenitor cells driven by genomic alterations. Despite advances in genomic profiling, studies focusing on diverse ancestral populations ...

Selective Advantage of Mutant Stem Cells in Human Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Attenuated Response to Inflammation and Aging

Selective Advantage of Clonal Hematopoietic Mutant Stem Cells in Aging and Inflammatory Responses Background and Research Motivation Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) is an aging-related phenomenon in the hematopoietic system, where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) acquire specific somatic mutations and undergo expansion, causing a particular mutated cell l...
