Multi-modal Analysis Reveals Tumor and Immune Features Distinguishing EBV-Positive and EBV-Negative Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Report on the Academic Paper: “Multi-modal Analysis Reveals Tumor and Immune Features Distinguishing EBV-positive and EBV-negative Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders” Summary The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a widely disseminated gamma-1 herpesvirus that infects approximately 90%-95% of adults globally. While EBV infection is typically as...

Miltefosine Reinvigorates Exhausted T Cells by Targeting Their Bioenergetic State

Miltefosine Reinvigorates Exhausted T Cells by Targeting Their Bioenergetic State

Miltefosine Reinvigorates Exhausted T Cells by Targeting Their Bioenergetic State Academic Background T cell exhaustion is a significant challenge in immunotherapy, particularly in cancer treatment. It typically occurs when T cells are chronically exposed to antigen stimulation, leading to a gradual loss of function, characterized by reduced effect...

Chemical Activation of Mitochondrial CLPP to Modulate Energy Metabolism of CD4+ T Cell for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Treatment

Academic Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing autoimmune disorder primarily comprising Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The exact pathogenesis of IBD remains unclear, but it is known that abnormal immune responses play a critical role in its development, particularly the imbalance of CD4+ T cells. The...

Structure-Guided Development of Selective Caseinolytic Protease P Agonists as Antistaphylococcal Agents

Structure-Guided Development of Selective Caseinolytic Protease P Agonists as Antistaphylococcal Agents Academic Background Staphylococcus aureus is a common Gram-positive pathogen that can cause various human infections, including skin and soft tissue infections. With the widespread dissemination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRS...

The Neonatal Gut Microbiota: A Role in the Encephalopathy of Prematurity

The Neonatal Gut Microbiota: A Role in the Encephalopathy of Prematurity

The Role of the Neonatal Gut Microbiota in the Encephalopathy of Prematurity: A Comprehensive Study Academic Background Premature birth (defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation) is a common issue globally, affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies. Preterm infants are at risk of abnormal brain development, known as Encephalopathy of Prematur...
