BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow that produce monoclonal immunoglobulins. N-glycosylation changes of these monoclonal immunoglobulins have been reported in multiple myeloma, but previous studies on...

Macrophages are key drivers of inflammatory and fibrotic diseases and their activation is shaped by interactions in their tissue microenvironment. However, dissecting the processes that drive immunopathology has proved challenging as traditional 2D culture methods fail to capture the complex mole...

To investigate the metabolites and pathways modulated by BCG in RANKL-differentiated macrophages, thereby elucidating the metabolic mechanisms underlying BCG-induced macrophage activation, BMMs were stimulated with 50 ng/mL RANKL for 5 days to generate osteoclast-like cells. Subsequently, one gro...

Bone homeostasis mainly depends on the equilibrium of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, overactivated osteoclasts play a pivotal role in the progression of osteoporosis. Here, we revealed that Pla2g7 (phospholipase A2 group VII) was positively correlated with bone resorption in clinic. By single-cell ...
