Current clinical treatment of pulmonary diseases requires an advanced three-dimensional (3D) pathological atlas of the microenvironment, particularly the trachea, which is predominantly affected by lung disorders. In this study, the gridded cyclodext...
Regulating inflammatory microglia presents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet effective therapeutic agents delivery to these cells remains a challenge. This study investigates modified lipid nanoparticle...
The motility of macrophages in response to microenvironment stimuli is a hallmark of innate immunity, where macrophages play pro-inflammatory or pro-reparatory roles depending on their activation status during wound healing. Cell size and shape have ...
Pyrogens cause shock symptoms when released into the bloodstream. They are classified into two main categories: endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) and non-endotoxin pyrogens. The monocyte activation test (MAT) is an in vitro assay to detect pyrog...
Butyric acid (BA) can potentially enhance the function of the intestinal barrier. However, the mechanisms by which BA protects the intestinal mucosal barrier remain to be elucidated. Given that the Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/Rho-associa...

OBJECTIVES: Skin injuries and infections are an inevitable part of daily human life, particularly with chronic wounds, becoming an increasing socioeconomic burden. In treating skin infections and promoting wound healing, bioactive peptides may hold s...
In this work, we present the potential of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy to compare on whole cells, in an unbiased and untargeted way, the capacity of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and two rationally designed molecules (FP20...
Neonatal brain inflammation produced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in long-lasting brain dopaminergic injury and motor disturbances in adult rats. The goal of the present work is to investigate the effect of ...
