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...

HIF-1α and MIF Enhance Neutrophil-Driven Type 3 Immunity and Chondrogenesis in a Murine Spondyloarthritis Model

Research Background and Research Questions Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a typical disease characterized by type 3 immune-driven inflammation and new bone formation (NBF). Although previous studies have shown that Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of SpA, its interactions with other molecules and specifi...

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...

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...

Morphotype-Specific Calcium Signaling in Human Microglia

Morphology-Specific Calcium Signaling Characteristics in Human Microglia Background and Research Objectives Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), involved in almost all physiological and pathological processes, including development, synaptic transmission, neuroplasticity, sleep, trauma, glioblastoma, and neuro...

Inflammatory Mechanisms in Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Epilepsy: A Study

Neuroinflammation and Epilepsy: The Role of Inflammasomes in Traumatic Brain Injury Background and Purpose Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to changes in brain function and pathology resulting from physical trauma to the head or neck. Apart from common behavioral and psychological disorders, post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is one of the most sever...
