BackgroundIL-2Rβ (CD122) is essential for IL-2 and IL-15 signaling and for natural killer (NK) and T cell homeostasis. We and others have recently described biallelic loss-of-function IL2RB variants, primarily affecting...

Abstract TP53 is frequently mutated in bladder cancer and is associated with aggressive disease, yet actionable strategies that also improve responses to immune checkpoint blockade remain limited. Here we show that APR-2...

Abstract Objective To compare the differential activation characteristics of Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) agonist KFD and Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist R837 on nasal epithelial cells (NECs) and bone marrow-derive...

Abstract Background ATF3 was found to play a complex role in various cancers; however, its systematic function in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and across pan-cancer contexts remained incompletely understood. ...

Abstract Background Preeclampsia (PE), a life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, remains poorly characterized at the post-transcriptional regulation level. While alternative splicing (AS) perturbations drive...

Abstract Introduction Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a malignant tumour that occurs on the mucosa of the bladder. It accounts for the first place in the incidence of genitourinary tumours in China. BLCA is characterized by hig...

BackgroundX-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) due to CD40L deficiency typically presents in early childhood with recurrent sinopulmonary or opportunistic infections, and its initial manifestations can be misleading. We re...

Abstract Background HC-HA/PTX3 (a complex formed by high molecular weight hyaluronan covalently linked to heavy chain 1 of inter-α-trypsin inhibitor and tightly bound to pentraxin 3) is a unique extracellular matrix fro...

Atypical CD21low B lymphocytes are a naturally occurring transient subset that has been increasingly recognized in chronic diseases, such as infections and immune dysregulation, where they may persist for long. Their fat...

Abstract Objective Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a clinically prevalent opportunistic pathogen, with escalating antimicrobial resistance posing substantial challenges. Current vaccine strategies are constrained by the...

Abstract Objective Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is prevalent worldwide and represents a risk factor for various chronic inflammatory and neoplastic gastric diseases. In recent years, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) h...

Abstract Restriction of fetal substrate supply has an adverse effect on surfactant maturation in the lung and thus affects the transition from in utero placental oxygenation to pulmonary ventilation ex utero. However, th...

IntroductionHaploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disorder caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in TNFAIP3, resulting in dysregulated NF-κB activation. Clinical presentations are h...

Abstract Background The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase critically involved in cell cycle regulation. However, the pathological functions of its individual subunits, pa...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits pronounced desmoplasia, primarily attributed to the activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) from a quiescent state (quiescent PSCs [qPSCs]) to an activated form (ac...

Abstract Ticks transmit diverse pathogens and secrete saliva with immunomodulatory properties that facilitates blood feeding. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying saliva-mediated immune suppression remain poorly d...
