Background: Moxibustion is a form of therapy that to warm the acupoints located skin by using dried mugwort leaves. It is widely used to treat gouty arthritis (GA). However, the mechanism of moxibustion on improving GA has not been fully revealed. In this study, we explore the mechanism of moxibu...
Succinate is implicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory diseases via its receptor, G protein-coupled receptor 91 (GPR91). Despite its therapeutic potential, conflicting reports on its inflammatory roles have hindered GPR91-targeted treatm...
The mechanisms by which macrophage metabolism is regulated and the effects of metabolism on diseases remain largely unknown. We show here that TGF-β regulates the glycolysis of macrophages independently of inflammatory cytokine production, and thus affects the survival in experimental sepsis. Spe...
OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is the most common chronic neurological disease in dogs, and an established natural animal model for human epilepsy types with genetic and unknown etiology. However, the metabolic pathways underlying IE remain largely unknown. METHODS: Plasma samples of healthy...
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play key roles in allergic asthma development. We have previously revealed the inhibitory effect of CD5 antigen-like protein (CD5L) on allergic airway inflammation. Here, we analyzed the effect of CD5L on ILC2s.
