Academic Report on the Role of Intestinal Epithelium-Derived IL-34 in Alleviating Graft-versus-Host Disease 1. Academic Background Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) is a severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and gastrointestinal (GI) GVHD is the primary determinant of morbidity and mortality du...

Breakthrough in Gene Therapy: Repair Drive Technology Enables In Vivo Expansion of Hepatocytes Academic Background Gene therapy has become a hot topic in medical research in recent years, especially for liver diseases. Due to the central role of the liver in metabolism, it has become a critical target for research. Although existing gene-editing te...

Coactivation of Innate Immune Suppressive Cells Induces Acquired Resistance Against Combined TLR Agonism and PD-1 Blockade

Mechanism of Combined Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy Academic Background Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) is a revolutionary cancer treatment aimed at reactivating effector T cells to combat cancer. However, more than half of patients do not respond to ICB, especially those with immunologically “cold” tumors (tumors with fewer immune cells in t...

Amyloid-Associated Hyperconnectivity Drives Tau Spread Across Connected Brain Regions in Alzheimer’s Disease

Amyloid-Associated Hyperconnectivity Drives Tau Spread in Alzheimer’s Disease Academic Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and the abnormal aggregation and spread of tau protein in the brain. The traditional “amyloid cascade hypothesis” posits that...

Study on Organ-Specific T Cell Differentiation in Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (AGVHD) Academic Background Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (AGVHD) is a common and severe complication following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT), caused by the immune attack of donor T cells on host tissues. Although the pathological mechanis...
