Arthritis comprises a spectrum of immune-mediated joint disorders, with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) representing prototypic autoimmunity and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) spanning an autoinflammation–autoimmunity continuum. Ac…
Pulmonary fibrosis is the converging pathological outcome of chronic inflammatory lung diseases with diverse etiologies. Sustained inflammation disrupts immune cell homeostasis, driving aberrant activation and differentiation of myofibroblasts and lead…
Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is a life-threatening complication of sepsis characterized by reversible myocardial dysfunction. Its pathophysiology involves a complex interplay of inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction…
Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS), a prevalent urological and andrological condition among men of reproductive age, induces persistent pathological alterations. These alterations remodel the microenvironment of the prostate and…
Therapeutic resistance in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is orchestrated not only by tumor-intrinsic genomic alterations but also by dynamic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review introduces the tumor-im…
Secondary bile acids (SBAs) attracted interest due to their regulatory functions in gut microbial ecology and immune responses. These intricate microbial transformations decisively shape the biochemical properties of SBAs. Recent advancements in artifi…
Axial Spondyloarthritis (AS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the axial skeleton characterized by persistent inflammation and pathological bone formation driven by reciprocal signaling between immune and stromal cells. Central to this interplay …
Behçet’s Syndrome (BS) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by variable vessel involvement and an elusive etiology, though immunogenetic studies strongly implicate the IL-23/IL-17 axis which bridges innate and adaptive immunity, orchestrating type 17…
Given the abundant stroma of the liver and that cirrhosis or hepatic fibrosis is the premalignant condition of most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), underscores the critical interaction between extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness and the tumor microen…
Originally reported as an oncogene and currently known to be a major “genome guardian”, the p53 protein remains one of the most explored transcription factors, exhibiting variety of functions both within transcription regulation and beyond. Given that …
