To identify the molecular targets and possible mechanisms of isoliquiritigenin (ISO) in affecting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by regulating the glycolysis and phagocytosis of alveolar macrophages (AM). Datasets GSE130928 and GSE13896...
INTRODUCTION: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive deterioration of cartilage and synovial inflammation. A critical mechanism in the pathogenesis of KOA is impaired efferocytosis in synovial tissu...
Phagocytosis is a critical component of innate immunity that helps the body defend itself against infection, foreign particles, and cellular debris. Investigating and quantifying phagocytosis can help understand how the immune system identifies forei...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and aberrant phagocytosis may be involved in its development. Understanding this aspect may provide new avenues for prompt CAD diagnosis.
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a highly prevalent liver disease globally, with a significant risk of progressing to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Efferocytosis, a process implicated in a broad spectrum of ch...

The Leishmania life cycle alternates between promastigotes, found in the sandfly, and amastigotes, found in mammals. When an infected sandfly bites a host, promastigotes are engulfed by phagocytes (i.e., neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages)...
This study aimed to explore the key efferocytosis-related genes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and their regulatory mechanisms. Public DR-related gene expression datasets, GSE160306 (training) and GSE60436 (validation), were downloaded. Differentially ...
Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is characterized by an abnormal inflammatory response and increased mortality. The role of efferocytosis in SCM is not well understood. We used integrated multi-omics analysis to explore the clinical and genetic roles of e...
