Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by cartilage degradation, inflammation, and bone structural changes, leading to significant disability. Current therapeutic strategies, including traditional treatments and stem cell-based th…
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by poor prognosis, strong resistance to therapy, and a dense immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). A small subset of cells known as cancer stem cells (CSC…
Cancer of the thyroid is a endocrine cancer. Although most patients achieve favorable outcomes with surgical resection, radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression therapy, a subset progresses to advanced or ref…
Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic vasculitis, spondyloarthritis (SpA), including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), are characterized by chronic immune activatio…
The anti-tumor role of the immune system has long been associated with interferon-γ-mediated activation of immune cells and their ability to recognize and eliminate transformed cells. Fundamental principles of tumor immunoediting describe a dynamic int…
Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, particularly in low-resource settings, despite advances in treatment modalities. The tumor immune microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in cervical cancer pathogenesis,…
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which melanocyte−specific CD8+ T cells destroy pigment−forming cells, producing persistent depigmented macules. Recurrence after treatment implicates tissue−resident memory T (TRM) cells that are maintained …
Melatonin, once relegated to the circadian periphery, has resurfaced as a pleiotropic immunomodulator capable of quelling neurogenic inflammation while invigorating antitumour defence. Migraine—and its disabling, episodic neurovascular pain—shares an “…
Gastrointestinal (GI) tumors present a major clinical challenge due to complex immune evasion mechanisms and generally poor responses to immunotherapy. Tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is a critical determinant of immunotherapy resistance. Immunosu…
Lung cancer, predominantly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains a principal driver of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted treatments, outcomes remain poor in…
