Background Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is characterized by exacerbated bone resorption and inadequate bone formation, with macrophage-driven inflammation playing a key role. However, how immunometabolic reprogramm...

Osteoporosis is a very common disease nowadays, and it is mostly seen in postmenopausal women. In postmenopausal women, with the decrease of estrogen, directly or indirectly, it makes the decrease of bone mineral density...

Abstract Background Excessive mechanical stress is a major cause of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Macrophages can sense physical signals, but their role in responding to mechanical stress within the disc to ma...

Previous studies have suggested that macrophages may contribute to acute Leptospira dissemination, as well as having a major role in kidney fibrosis. Our aim was to characterize the role of macrophages and galectin 3 (Ga...

BackgroundChronic wounds remain a significant challenge in healthcare due to persistent inflammation and disrupted macrophage polarization.ObjectiveIn this study, we conducted a quantitative comparative analysis to asses...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) features chronic low-grade inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT), where adipocytes and innate immune cells engage in immunometabolic crosstalk. Mitochondrial damage-associated molecula...

Huangjing (Polygonati Rhizoma) is an important medicinal and edible herb, which can be taken orally, brewed in tea, steeped in wine, or used in food processing.The fibrous roots of Polygonum cyrtonema, usually discarded ...

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Dublin (Salmonella Dublin) is a host-adapted pathogen that causes severe systemic disease in cattle and presents a zoonotic risk to humans. While macrophages play a pivotal rol...

Abstract Background Lavandula stoechas L., commonly known as lavender, has been traditionally used in various therapeutic applications, including as a smoking cessation aid. The aim of this study was to investigate the a...

Capsaicin (CAP), the pungent compound in chili peppers, is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties, yet its role in autoimmune immunometabolism remains unexplored. In a murine model of Collagen-Induced Arthritis,...

Abstract In bronchial asthma, M2 macrophage polarization and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway activation are critically implicated in airway inflammation and remodeling. This study employed an OVA-induced asthmatic mouse model to e...

The role of the pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM) in the lung defense mechanism was evaluated in horses infected with equine hespesvirus-1 (EHV-1). Five adult horses were exposed to 10(6.6) TCID50 EHV-1 by intranasal ...

In enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), a B-cell lymphoma caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection, immune remodeling within tumor-affected lymph nodes is currently poorly understood. Here, we analyzed chemokine produc...

AimsElectroacupuncture (EA) promotes the regeneration and repair of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) in clinical, and its underlying neuroimmune mechanisms have still not been fully clarified. Our study investigates the rol...

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are hallmarks of chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCM). In this study, we determined if microparticles (MPs) generated during Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) infection carry the host?s signature ...

Background: Wound healing is a complex biological process involving vascular remodeling and tissue repair. However, the mechanism by which granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) facilitates vascular ma...

Abstract The heart-brain axis is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality following ischemic injury. Pathological and psychological changes in the heart can lead to anxiety, cognitive impairment, and brain in...

IntroductionIn co-endemic regions, hosts are concurrently infected by related apicomplexan hemoparasites, Plasmodium and the zoonotic pathogen Babesia. This study investigates how Plasmodium berghei XAT-Babesia rodhaini ...

Zingiber ottensii (bangle hantu) is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, known for its pharmacological effects. Several studies have demonstrated immunomodulatory potential of Zingiberaceae rhizomes, including Zingiber ...

Abstract Ovotransferrin (OTF) is a well-known protein of the transferrin family with strong iron chelating activity, resulting in its antimicrobial activity. Furthermore, OTF is known to have antioxidant, anticancer, and...

Background: The progression of pulpitis is strongly affected by the fate of dental pulp cells, with their modes of cell death determining whether inflammation resolves or leads to irreversible necrosis. Cuproptosis, a co...

BackgroundMacrophage polarization plays a critical role in shaping the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) of prostate cancer (PCa). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly those exhibiting immunoreg...

Macrophage functional plasticity is intrinsically linked to metabolic reprogramming, including mitochondrial function, substrate utilization, and redox signaling. In response to hypoxia, infection, or tissue injury, macr...

Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common cardiovascular disease resulting in high mortality rate due to rupture. Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is involved in AAA progression via both biomechanically protective ...
