Atherosclerosis (AS), the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving lipid metabolism, immune dysregulation, and cell death. Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death, is implicated in AS pro...
BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by significant heterogeneity in treatment response, with inflammation hypothesized to play a role in its pathophysiology. Peripheral inflammatory biomarkers, such as the neutrophil-to-lymph...
Sepsis is a non-discriminatory inflammatory reaction that can result in a diverse array of organ dysfunctions, which can be fatal. Pyroptosis is a programmed mechanism of cell death that is distinguishable from apoptosis and other forms of cellular d...
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread inflammatory response syndrome in the body resulting from infection. Previous studies have demonstrated that some inflammatory factors or nutritional elements contribute...
BACKGROUND: The bile acid metabolism (BAM) and fatty acid metabolism (FAM) have been implicated in Kawasaki disease (KD), but their precise mechanisms remain unclear. Identifying signature cells and genes related to BAM and FAM could offer a deeper u...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is an organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Early detection is fundamental to improving the patient outcome. Laboratory medicine can play a crucial role by providing biomarkers whose alteration can ...
BACKGROUND: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) represents a major global health challenge, marked by chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and immune system dysfunction. Immune cells, including T cells and monocytes, play a pivotal role in driving ...
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...
INTRODUCTION: The mortality rate among older people infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is alarmingly high. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of a novel model for assessing the risk of death in this vulnerable...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is widely regarded as the primary contributor to low back pain(LBP). As an immune-privileged organ, upon the onset of IDD, various components of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are exposed to the host's im...
