A Multivariable Prediction Model for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Immunocompromised Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure (IPA-GRRR-OH Score)

A Prediction Model for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Immunocompromised Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure Background Introduction Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is a severe opportunistic infection commonly seen in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with immune dysfunction caused by hematological malignancies, stem cel...

Detrimental influence of Arginase-1 in infiltrating macrophages on poststroke functional recovery and inflammatory milieu

 

The Detrimental Role of Arginase-1 in Macrophages After Ischemic Stroke Academic Background Ischemic stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Although arginase-1 (Arg1) is typically associated with anti-inflammatory responses and tissue repair, its specific role in post-stroke recovery remains unclear. Arg1 is pre...

PTDP-43 Levels Correlate with Cell Type–Specific Molecular Alterations in the Prefrontal Cortex of C9orf72 ALS/FTD Patients

Correlation between PTDP-43 Levels and Cell-Specific Molecular Alterations in the Prefrontal Cortex of C9orf72 ALS/FTD Patients Background Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are two types of progressive neurodegenerative diseases. Their common feature is the loss of specific neuronal populations in th...

CDC42 is crucial for the early regulation of hepatic stellate cell activation

CDC42 Plays a Crucial Role in the Early Regulation of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation Academic Background Liver fibrosis is a pathological process associated with various liver diseases, which may eventually progress to cirrhosis—a life-threatening condition. Currently, there are no effective treatments to halt the progression of liver fibrosis. H...

Transmission of Peripheral Blood α-Synuclein Fibrils Exacerbates Synucleinopathy and Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease by Endothelial LAG3 Endocytosis

Transmission of Peripheral Blood α-Synuclein Fibrils Exacerbates Synucleinopathy and Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease via Endothelial LAG3 Endocytosis Academic Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal formation and transmission of α-synuclein (α-syn). Recent studies have ...

Senescent Myoblasts Exhibit an Altered Exometabolome Linked to Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype Signaling

Research Report on Changes in the Metabolome of Senescent Myoblasts Research Background As age increases, the function of skeletal muscle gradually deteriorates, a phenomenon closely related to the senescence of muscle stem cells (satellite cells). Satellite cells play a key role in muscle injury repair. However, during the aging process, the funct...
