Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) pose a significant challenge for aging surgical patients, with sevoflurane anesthesia being an identified risk factor. Time-restricted feeding (TRF), a dietary regimen, shows promise in mitigating age-related cognitive decline, but its efficacy and mec...
Metabolomic changes were investigated at the infection site of A. muelleri challenged with Ar. Untargeted LC-MS metabolomics was used to profile metabolite variations between control and infected samples, together with QC samples for quality control. Differential metabolites were characterized to...
To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cel...
Kidney injury initiates epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation during the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we found that the expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of both CKD...
The polarization state of microglia exerts an influence on neuroinflammation and neural tissue repair after injury. Modulating microglial polarization is emerging as a potential therapeutic strategy for various types of neural injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the causal relations...
Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health concern. Gut dysbiosis plays a critical role in its pathogenesis, yet the specific microbial and functional shifts driving ALD progression require further elucidation. This study aims to characterize these alterations a...
