Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent metabolic complication of pregnancy with rising global incidence. Its increasing prevalence parallels the rising rates of pre-pregnancy obesity worldwide. While physiological insulin resistance is a no…
IntroductionELF4 is an ETS family transcription factor involved in immune regulation, including antiviral responses and inflammatory signaling. Germline loss-of-function variants in ELF4 cause deficiency in ELF4, X-linked (DEX), a disorder characterize…
BackgroundThis study evaluates the quality of study design, potential biases, and evidence strength for childhood risk factors associated with allergic rhinitis (AR), while summarizing the key identified factors.MethodsThe protocol for this review was …
Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death in women, and outcomes in recurrent or metastatic disease remain poor despite chemoradiation and bevacizumab. The HPV-driven biology that defines the disease—viral E6/E7 oncoproteins, an inflamed …
RationaleChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. As lung transplantation is the only curative option and current therapies are largely based on managing clinical symptoms, novel treatments are urgentl…
Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by marked heterogeneity and frequent resistance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication between tumor, stromal, and immune cells and may couple metabolic adaptation to immune …
Neuroinflammation is a common pathological feature of diverse brain diseases, but inflammatory activity is rarely distributed uniformly across diseased tissue. Instead, microglia, astrocytes, infiltrating immune cells and inflammatory mediators are oft…
ObjectiveSepsis is a life-threatening condition with high mortality and complex pathology. Early diagnosis is critical but remains challenging due to a lack of effective biomarkers. This study aims to identify specific diagnostic markers to distinguish…
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in aging adults, yet no FDA-approved therapies exist for early and intermediate disease. Multiple interconnected pathways, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, a…
ObjectiveSepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection, accounting for an estimated 11 million deaths annually worldwide. Among its most prevalent and severe complications is acute respiratory d…
