BACKGROUND: Macrophage polarization exacerbates the pathological processes of osteoarthritis (OA). Astragalus membranaceus (AM) can repair chondrocytes and serve as a protective agent for OA. Therefore, the study intended to identify macrophage polar...
Bacterial sepsis remains a leading cause of death globally, exacerbated by the rise of multidrug resistance (MDR). Host-directed therapy (HDT) has emerged as a promising nonantibiotic approach to combat infections; thus, multiple HDT targets have bee...
BACKGROUND: The most frequent malignant tumor in women is breast cancer (BRCA). It has been discovered that T-cell exhaustion and macrophages play significant roles in BRCA. It was necessary to explore prognostic genes associated with T-cell exhausti...
M2 macrophages play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of various tumors, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the characterization of M2 macrophage-related genes in DLBCL remains incomplete. In this study, we downl...
It is well established that the early inflammatory response following fracture is essential for initiating subsequent bone regeneration. An imbalance in inflammation, whether within the innate or adaptive immune response, can result in impaired fract...

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of degenerative joint disease, with total joint replacement as the only definitive cure. However, no disease-modifying therapy is currently available. Inflammation and fibrosis in the infrapatellar...
Over the past several decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of breast cancer patients. Among the four subtypes of breast cancer, Her2-positive breast cancer is one of the most aggressive breast cancers. In this study, we screen...
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is considered a critical cardiac condition with a poor prognosis. Shortly after STEMI occurs, the increased number of circulating leukocytes including macrophages can lead to the accumulation of more...
