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...
Bone regeneration requires spatiotemporal coordination of immune modulation, stem cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis, yet most scaffolds lack sequential control across healing phases. We develop a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive therapeutic platform that integrates clinically av...
BACKGROUND: Kava is an important neuroactive medicinal plant. While kava has a large global consumer footprint for its clinical and recreational use, factors related to its use lack standardization and the tissue-specific metabolite profile of its neuroactive constituents is not ...
Cd248 has recently been associated with adipose tissue physiology, demonstrated by reduced weight gain in high fat diet-fed mice with genetic deletion of Cd248 relative to controls. Here we set out to determine the metabolic consequences of loss of Cd248. Strikingly, we find these to be sex speci...
