Yan Chen BackgroundFusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), a gram-negative oral bacterium, has been implicated in promoting colorectal cancer (CRC) progression by modulating the inflammatory microenvironment. Recent studies have shown that gut microbiota imbalance plays …
ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of low-dose rituximab (RTX, 100 mg/month) versus belimumab (BEL, 10 mg/kg), as a control, in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted …
BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis, largely due to its high rates of metastasis and recurrence. Anoikis plays a pivotal role in tumor metastasis; however, its role in TNBC remains elusive.MethodsCox regression analysis wa…
BackgroundInflammatory scores are known to reflect the systemic inflammatory burden. Despite this, the association between the inflammatory score and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains …
Basophils, rare granulocytes, have long been acknowledged for their roles in type 2 immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which basophils adapt their functions to diverse mammalian microenvironments remain unclear. Recent advancements in specific research tools and single-cell-based technologies have greatly enhanced our understanding of basophils. Several studies have shown that basophils play a role in maintaining homeostasis but can also contribute to pathology in various tissues and…
