Critical Role of the Potential O-Linked Glycosylation Sites of CXCR4 in Cell Migration and Bone Marrow Homing of Hematopoietic Stem Progenitor Cells

1. Academic Background and Research Origin Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are the foundation for maintaining the steady state of the adult blood system. Every day, the human body needs to generate billions of new blood cells—a process that relies on the capacity of HSPCs for self-renewal and directed differentiation within the bone mar...

Inflammatory Pathways and the Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes

Inflammatory Pathways and Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: New Insights into Chronic Inflammation Research Background and Academic Significance Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) are a group of genetic disorders characterized by reduced hematopoietic cell production due to blood stem cell dysfunc...

Renal Protective Effects of Extracellular Vesicle-Encapsulated Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced Protein 6 Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells

I. Research Background and Academic Significance In recent years, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been continuously rising worldwide. AKI not only leads to acute loss of renal function but is increasingly recognized as being closely related to the occurrence and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numerous epidemiological an...

New Mechanism of Immune Cell Migration Revealed: How Monocytes “Pioneer Their Path” in the Tumor Microenvironment I. Academic Research Background and the Central Question Cell migration is a crucial biological process in life, encompassing embryonic development, tissue repair, immune responses, and the progression of various diseases. In the contex...

Development and Validation of a Proteomic Signature of Healthspan

1. Academic Background: From Lifespan Extension to the Enhancement of Healthspan With the improvement of global medical and socioeconomic standards since the 20th century, overall human lifespan has significantly increased, especially in developing countries. However, healthspan—the number of years an individual lives in a state of complete health,...
