Intrinsic Glutathione/Mitochondrial-IL-22 Axis in TH17 Cells and Its Protective Mechanism Against Intestinal Inflammation Background Introduction A large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is generated in the intestine, and the role of T-cell antioxidant mechanisms in maintaining intestinal homeostasis remains unclear. This paper studies the i...

Macroscopic and Microscopic Mechanisms of Nicotinamide Metabolism Antagonism: Manipulation of the Gastric Cancer Microenvironment Background Introduction Gastric cancer (GC) is a type of cancer characterized by a unique and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite advances in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy for gastric cancer, n...

Obesity Disrupts Pituitary-Hepatic UPR Communication Leading to NAFLD Progression Background and Research Objectives In recent years, the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased significantly. Research suggests that obesity, a major risk factor for NAFLD, disrupts hepatic immunometabolic homeostasis by affecting systemi...

A Human Omentum-Specific Intermesothelial Fibroblast Population Inhibits Adipogenesis by Secreting IGFBP2 Background and Research Objective With the growing prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases, the plasticity and heterogeneity of adipose tissue have become research hotspots. Different regions of adipose tissue exhibit distinct metabolic ch...

Disruption of Circadian Rhythm Promotes Cancer Metastasis and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Accumulation Triggered by Intestinal Microbes Academic Background and Research Motivation Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death for most cancer patients, with colorectal cancer (CRC) drawing significant attention due to its high global incidence ...
