Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by poor prognosis and limited targeted treatment options. Efferocytosis, an essential immune mechanism for the clearance of apoptotic cells, is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to tumo...
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive pulmonary disease characterized by alveolar structural destruction and fibrosis. In recent years, efferocytosis has been recognized as playing a crucial role in the occurrence a...
Sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe and life-threatening complication characterized by excessive inflammation and immune dysfunction. Macrophages play a central role in the pathogenesis of ALI, with dysregulated polarization and impair...
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...

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...
