The Innate Immune Sensor Zbp1 Mediates Central Nervous System Inflammation Induced by Angiostrongylus Cantonensis by Promoting Macrophage Inflammatory Phenotypes

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, March 20, 2025.
This study reveals that Zbp1 plays a pivotal role in regulating neuroimmune interactions during Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) infection. Zbp1 modulates lymphocyte infiltration and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity by promoting cytokine secretion and M1 polarization of macrophages, shaping the CNS immune microenvironment.

Purification, Biochemical Characterization and Digestive Stability Analysis of the Major Allergen Paramyosin From Haliotis discus hannai

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Paramyosin (PM) is a structural protein in invertebrates, playing an important role in maintaining the texture of muscle. Although PM has been identified as a major allergen, its characteristics have not been well investigated. In this study, PM with a molecular mass of 97 kDa was purified to homogeneity from Haliotis discus hannai using ammonium ...
