Tracheal Targeted Nanogrid Delivery Systems of Dexamethasone Visualized by Single-Particle Tracing and Multiscale Pathological Mapping.

ACS nano
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...

Machine learning-assisted design of immunomodulatory lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA to repolarize hyperactivated microglia.

Drug delivery
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...

A data-driven approach to establishing cell motility patterns as predictors of macrophage subtypes and their relation to cell morphology.

PloS one
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 ...

Evaluation of the effect of cell freshness on pyrogen detection using a serum-free monocyte-activation test.

PloS one
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 alleviates LPS-induced intestinal mucosal barrier damage by inhibiting the RhoA/ROCK2/MLCK signaling pathway in Caco2 cells.

PloS one
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...

Preparation, characterization, and protective effects of carbon dots against oxidative damage induced by LPS in IPEC-J2 cells.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
This study aimed to prepare carbon dots (GF-CDs) and examine their efficacy in mitigating oxidative stress and apoptosis in intestinal porcine epithelial cells from the jejunum (IPEC-J2 cells) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The GF-CDs were syn...

Discovery of Active Ingredient of Yinchenhao Decoction Targeting TLR4 for Hepatic Inflammatory Diseases Based on Deep Learning Approach.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Yinchenhao Decoction (YCHD), a classic formula in traditional Chinese medicine, is believed to have the potential to treat liver diseases by modulating the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) target. Therefore, a thorough exploration of the effective compone...

Machine learning accelerates the discovery of epitope-based dual-bioactive peptides against skin infections.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
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...

Vibrational spectroscopy coupled with machine learning sheds light on the cellular effects induced by rationally designed TLR4 agonists.

Talanta
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 enhances methamphetamine-induced reinstated behavioral sensitization in adult rats analyzed with explainable machine learning.

Neurochemistry international
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 ...
