The effects of e‐cigarette use on asthma severity in adult BALB/c mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes) are often perceived to be a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre‐existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e‐cigarette use

Aging‐Derived Alterations in Genomic, Immune, and Metabolic Networks: Implications for Cancer Development and Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ageing acts as a double‐edged sword in cancer. In the elderly, open chromatin, immunosenescence, and chronic inflammation drive SASP (IL‐6, MMPs), MDSC accumulation and T‐cell suppression, fostering tumor‐promoting microenvironments and limited therapeutic benefit.

The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT There are sex differences with immune responses where females exhibit stronger immune responses compared to males. Both sex hormones and sex chromosome differences between males and females contribute to the observed sex differences with innate and adaptive immune cell composition and function.

IGFBP4 is a Metric for Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Attenuates Biliary Epithelial Cell Injury

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Immune‐mediated bile duct injury is the primary histological feature of autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases. Macrophages, the most abundant immune cell population in the liver, have been postulated to play a critical role in biliary repair. However, it is unclear whether activated macrophages interact with injured biliary

The role of cytokines in ovarian cancer drug resistance

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 4, Page 821-834, 15 February 2026.
Abstract Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women diagnosed with female reproductive system cancers. While significant advances have been made in treating various types of cancer, progress in ovarian cancer treatment over the past 20 years has been minimal, and the treatment course of ovarian cancer is not linear. Although many patients

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Tumor‐Associated Macrophages as Therapeutic Targets: Deciphering Interaction Networks and Advancing Clinical Translation

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tumor‐associated macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, driving malignant progression and treatment resistance. This review summarizes the protumor mechanisms of TAMs (including phagocytosis modulation, metabolic reprogramming, exosomal communication, and immune interactions), evaluates three major strategies ...
