CD137 signaling aggravates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitophagy mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation

49 views | May 26 2023

CD137 signaling exacerbates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing mitophagy and promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via increased mitochondrial ROS generation. [Read the Full Post]

Kv1.3 blockade by ShK186 modulates CD4+ effector memory T-cell activity of patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

49 views | May 19 2023

The study suggests that Kv1.3 blockade using ShK-186 may be a potential treatment strategy for GPA by modulating the activity of CD4+TEM cells and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, with less harmful side effects than current immunosuppressive regimens. [Read the Full Post]

Urolithin A Produced by Novel Microbial Fermentation Possesses Anti-aging Effects by Improving Mitophagy and Reducing Reactive Oxygen Species in Caenorhabditis elegans

19 views | May 02 2023

The study identified Lactobacillus plantarum strains that produce urolithin A and found that fermented pomegranate juice extracts from these strains can extend lifespan in C. elegans by improving mitochondrial function and/or reducing reactive oxygen species levels, highlighting the potential for developing anti-aging products.

Defining the role of mTOR pathway in the regulation of stem cells of glioblastoma

51 views | Mar 19 2023

Inhibition of the mTOR pathway, particularly with the small molecule inhibitor Torin2, shows potential as a strategy for targeting the cancer stem cells of glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor characterized by resistance to conventional therapies. [Read the Full Post]

Targeting peripheral immune organs with self-assembling prodrug nanoparticles ameliorates allogeneic heart transplant rejection

73 views | Mar 18 2023

The passage describes the development of a self-assembling nanoparticle, DHA-PP242 nanoparticle (DPNP), which targets immune organs to regulate T cell function and has shown promise in reducing inflammatory response and extending the survival of grafts in an experimental model of heart transplantation.
