The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Environmentally Relevant Concentrations of 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) Interfere With the Growth Hormone (GH)/Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I System in Developing Bony Fish [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether effects of environmental estrogens on fish growth and reproduction may be mediated via modulating the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) system.

Engineered Anti‐Senescence Trachea With Post‐Transplanted Regenerative Homeostasis
Bioengineered trachea undergoes post‐transplanted senescence, which is found in this study for the first time. Hebe‐ET is designed with dual anti‐senescence strategies: fiber‐film scaffold in cartilage rings for close‐packed cell interaction, and quercetin‐loaded fibrous rings for immune modulation.

The limited understanding of IGFR pathway activation hinders its clinical application in HCC. Here, IGFRIL is identified as a novel non‐coding activator of the IGF1R, which recruits PTBP1 to destabilize IGFBP3 mRNA and activates IGF1R, and proposes IGFRIL as a novel actionable target for HCC patients.
