Roles of connexins in atherosclerosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury

, 2012
Connexins are members of a large family of transmembrane proteins that oligomerize to form connexons or hemichannels, and connexons of adjacent cells dock to make gap junction channels.

The Health Benefits of Exercise: Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Our synthesis integrates evidence on exercise‐induced regulatory mechanisms across multiple systems (musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, nervous, metabolic and immune), cross‐system, and aging. We also discusses adaptive regulation of exercise in extreme environments, along with the prospects and challenges of multiomics and AI‐driven precision exercise ...

Immunoglobulin Kappa Light Chain Produced by Cardiomyocytes and Participates in Maintaining Intercalated Disc Integrity

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study identifies Igκ expression in cardiomyocytes, with predominant localization at ICDs. Cardiomyocyte‐specific Igκ knockout induces cardiac dysfunction and ICDs structural disorganization. Mechanistically, Igκ stabilizes plectin to facilitate desmin‒actin network assembly and anchor desmin to DSP, which is critical for maintaining ICDs ...

Tissue‐Resident Macrophage in Inflammation and Cancer

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Opposing macrophage functions in inflammation and cancer converge on shared mechanistic nodes, informing cross‐disease therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Tissue‐resident macrophages (TRMs) are long‐lived immune cells strategically distributed across organs, where their functional plasticity enables both homeostatic maintenance and pathological ...

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.

Osteoarthritis: An Immuno‐Inflammatory Disease‐Mechanisms of Immune Cell Dysregulation and Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 498-521, September 2026.
This review summarizes the immuno‐inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the traditional view of OA as a purely degenerative disease to incorporate immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and the formation of a chronic low‐grade inflammatory microenvironment.
