Lactylation, a recently discovered post-translational modification (PTM), plays a critical role in cancer biology. Warburg effect induces lactate accumulation, which serves as a metabolic end-product and intercellular signaling mediator within the tumo…
IntroductionIn recent years, advancements in the classification of renal allograft pathology have led to a notable increase in the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Particular attention has been given to microvascular inflammation (MVI),…
BackgroundChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality, characterized by chronic inflammation and abnormal immune responses in the lower airways. Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of immune functio…
Metastasis is the most common cause of cancer patient deaths. It is a complex process strongly influenced by the extracellular matrix (ECM). A mass spectrometry analysis comparing ECM proteins from healthy mouse lungs versus metastatic lungs has previo…
Gaucher disease (GD) is one of the most common lysosomal storage disorders. It is caused by bi-allelic mutations in the GBA1 gene responsible for the production of β-glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the sphingolipid gluco…
Background/ObjectivesThe role of antiphospholipid (aPL) and antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine whether the presence of aPL or ANA predicts CAD progression.MethodsWe …
Gouty arthritis (GA), a condition characterized by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition and NLRP3 inflammasome-driven inflammation, is a result of a complex interplay between hyperuricemia and immune dysregulation, which leads to systemic complica…
Primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Current clinical interventions demonstrate limited efficacy, yielding suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. microRNAs (miRNAs)–crit…
Age-related accumulation of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), causing clonal hematopoiesis (CH), often precedes the development of hematologic malignancies. Chronic inflammation and aberrant cytokine expression that …
