IntroductionAdvances in single-cell and spatial profiling have enabled detailed characterization of heterogeneous samples, but analyzing this data remains challenging in settings involving multiple comparisons. While tools like UMAP and t-SNE are valua…
BackgroundLeptomeningeal metastases (LM) from melanoma are rare and associated with dismal outcomes. Intrathecal PD-1 antibody therapy has shown encouraging activity in LM. Radiotherapy may enhance tumor immunogenicity and potentially augment immune ch…
ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the impact of different feeding patterns and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection on coronary artery lesions (CAL) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD), particularly analyzing whether breastfeeding retains a pr…
BackgroundCigarette smoke is a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its toxicity results from multiple harmful constituents. Nicotine is a chemically defined and biologically active tobacco-related compound, yet its C…
BackgroundCytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA4) haploinsufficiency is a rare monogenic immunodysregulatory disorder that can affect multiple organ systems, leading to a combination of autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and lymphoproliferatio…
CD73 is an enzyme that generates extracellular adenosine and has been implicated in tumor-associated immune suppression, but its biological and clinical significance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains incompletely understood. We investi…
BackgroundAnti-γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABAA receptor) encephalitis is a rare but severe subtype of autoimmune encephalitis (AE), typically characterized by refractory seizures and rapidly progressive neurological dysfunction. Although structur…
BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by marked clinical heterogeneity, reflecting complex interactions between host genetics, environmental exposures, and the gut microbiome. Although over 300 genetic risk loci have been identifi…
BackgroundHematologic immune dysregulation (H-ID) – including autoimmune cytopenia (AIC), lymphoproliferation (LPD), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) – is a potentially life-threatening manifestation of inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Desp…
