BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a type of recurrent and incurable disease, which can lead to the loss of workability, increase cancer risk and bring serious economic burden to patients. Abnormal intestin...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition frequently accompanied by psychological comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. Although current treatments may alleviate some of these symptoms, the intricate pathogenesis of these comorbidities highlights an urgent need for the deve...
Skeletal healing requires the coordinated resolution of inflammation and precise lineage commitment of mesenchymal progenitors, yet the mechanisms coupling these processes remain incompletely defined. Here, we reveal that lymphatic vessels in bone serve as dynamic orchestrato...
BACKGROUND: Large-scale, placebo-controlled trials established that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs confer a cardiovascular hazard: this has been attributed to depression of cardioprotective products of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, especially prostacyclin. An alternative mechanis...
Inflammation is thought to be a key cause of many chronic diseases and cancer. However, current therapeutic agents to control inflammation have limited long-term use potential due to various side-effects. This study aimed to examine norbergenin, a constituent of traditional anti-inflammatory reci...
Chagas disease causes a cardiac illness characterized by immunoinflammatory reactions leading to myocardial fibrosis and remodeling. The development of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) in some patients while others remain asymptomatic is not fully understood, but dysregulated inflammatory resp...
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) are omnipresent in the environment, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Previous research on MPs has primarily focused on aquatic species and rodents, with little known about their impact on yaks. This study introduced yak as an animal model, employing a combin...
The NLRP3 inflammasome is critical for host defense against bacterial infection and is involved in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. The aggregation of its sensor protein NLRP3 is a pivotal checkpoint for inflammasome activation. Howev...
