Expression, Purification and Structural Analysis of Human IL-18 Binding Protein: A Potent Therapeutic Molecule for Allergy

Allergology International, 2008
Background: While interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays an important role in the innate and adaptive immune responses, it can also cause severe allergic inflammatory reactions. Thus it is a molecule currently being targeted for therapy.

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Molecular Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome in Inflammatory Diseases and Tumors

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease
The nucleotide‐binding and oligomerization domain‐like receptors (NLRs) are pattern recognition receptors. Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3), a member of the NLRs family, can form a protein ...

Copper‐Driven Epithelial Barrier Disruption: A Novel Mechanism of COPD Acute Exacerbations Mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a copper‐driven mechanism of COPD acute exacerbations mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A axis. TNF‐α suppresses the copper transporter ATP7A via competitive NF‐κB/CREB1/CBP signaling, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and epithelial barrier disruption.

Combating Inflammation and Promoting Anabolism in Osteoarthritic Cartilage Defect With an MMP13‐Sensing Dual‐Drug Scaffold

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial

NLRP3 activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mediates the pyroptosis of human spermatogonial stem cells via GBP4 regulation

Asian Journal of Andrology
Human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are crucial for spermatogenesis and male reproduction. Although abnormal pyroptosis caused by inflammation impacts male fertility, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pyroptosis of human SSCs are elusive.
