Chaperone- and PTM-mediated Activation of IRF1 Tames Radiation-induced Cell Death and the Inflammatory Response

Study on IRF1 Transcriptional Activation Regulation of Radiation-Induced Cell Death and Inflammatory Response under Mutagenic Stress Background Recent multi-omics studies have revealed the key role of structural cells in immune regulation, but the mechanism remains unclear. Based on this, this study mainly explores how the transcriptional activatio...

Distinct Palmitoylation of FoxP3 Regulates the Function of Regulatory T Cells via Palmitoyltransferases

Unique Foxp3 Palmitoylation Regulates Tregs Function through Palmitoyltransferases Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive immune responses. As important suppressors of immune reactions, Tregs help maintain immune tolerance, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases. However, in the tum...

Eomesodermin spatiotemporally orchestrates the early and late stages of NK cell development by targeting Klf2 and T-bet

Spatiotemporal Regulation of KLF2 and T-bet by Eomesodermin During NK Cell Development I. Research Background Natural Killer (NK) cells are important cells in the immune system, capable of recognizing and killing tumor cells and pathogen-infected cells. The generation and development of NK cells depend on the gradual acquisition of a series of spec...

Targeting STING in Dendritic Cells Alleviates Psoriatic Inflammation by Suppressing IL-17A Production

Targeting STING in Dendritic Cells Alleviates Psoriatic Inflammation Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease primarily caused by abnormal activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, ultimately leading to increased cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17A. The cGAS-STING pathway is known to play a key role in psoriatic i...

Redefining the ontogeny of hyalocytes as yolk sac-derived tissue-resident macrophages of the vitreous body

The purpose of this paper is to explore the developmental origin, biological characteristics, and association with eye diseases of tissue-resident macrophages in the field of ophthalmology—hyalocytes. The eye is a highly specialized sensory organ that contains the retina, part of the central nervous system, as well as non-neuronal parts like the tr...
