Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and endocrine signaling. White adipose tissue (WAT), in particular, is a compelling target for therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases due to its secretory capacity and abundance. Gene ...
Inflammation plays important roles in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. We here show the involvement of perivascular inflammation in aortic dilatation of Marfan syndrome (MFS). In the aorta of patients with MFS and Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, macrophages...
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), a global epidemic affecting 25% of adults, is driven by immune-metabolic dysregulation, yet the causal mechanisms linking immune cell-specific gene perturbations to disease progression rem...
In many mammals, including rodents, social interactions are often accompanied by active urination (micturition), which is considered a mechanism for spatial scent marking. Urine and fecal deposits contain a variety of chemosensory signals that convey...
PGE2 plays important roles in immune cell function and in potentiating tissue regeneration. 15-PGDH is the key enzyme involved in inactivation of PGE2 and its inhibition therefore provides valuable therapeutic opportunity. We have solved the first co...
BACKGROUND: Depression is a prevalent mental disorder, and prolonged exposure to social defeat is a major contributing factor in the onset of depression. Repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) is a commonly used animal model for depression, significant...
Stem cell therapy is a prospective approach to the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), which features grievous harm of motor and sensory functions. However, the proportion of motor neurons spontaneously differentiated from neural stem cells (NSCs)...
Managing inflammation in diabetic chronic wounds remains a major clinical challenge, primarily due to the lack of real-time monitoring techniques. To address this issue, we developed a peptide hydrogel capable of simultaneously monitoring the inflamm...
Awareness of the intestinal microflora involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has now become more evident. However, direct mechanical insight is required to illustrate the contribution of intestinal microflora in the disease progre...
Immense progress in synthetic micro-/nanorobots with diverse functionalities has been made for biomedical applications during the last decade. However, there is still a huge gap for miniature robots to realize efficient therapy from in vitro to in vi...
