Genetic Epidemiology of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): The Role of the Complement Component 2 (C2) and Complement Factor B (CFB) Genes in Determining AMD Subphenotypes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in people over the age of 50 in the developed world. Inflammation has a central role in the pathobiology of AMD; complement pathway dysfunction is thought to induce

Self‐Propelled HPB@Lip@AB Nanomotors Ameliorate Dry Eye Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐propelled HPB@Lip@AB nanomotor system is developed for dry eye disease (DED) therapy, facilitating rapid penetration across ocular surface barriers while integrating hydrogen therapy with multi‐enzyme‐like antioxidant activity. The nanoplatform restores mitochondrial function, suppresses oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, and ...

Upadacitinib Restrains the Pathogenic Fitness of CD4+ T Cells and Aberrant B Cell Programming in Optic Neuritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell profiling and functional perturbation reveal coordinated JAK1‐pSTAT3 downstream programs in optic neuritis, including MCL1‐dependent fitness of pathogenic CD4+ Tem cells and glycolysis‐linked, cholesterol‐sensitive B‐cell responses associated with RORA. Upadacitinib disrupts this reciprocal T‐B‐cell circuit and alleviates neuroinflammation,

Lipid Metabolic Dysregulation Driven by OSMR Mutations Underlies Amyloidogenesis in Primary Localized Cutaneous Amyloidosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
OSMR mutations disrupt STAT5 signaling and AKR1B10‐mediated lipid metabolism, leading to lipid accumulation and protein aggregation in keratinocytes. This metabolic reprogramming drives amyloid deposition in primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, revealing a mechanistic link between lipid dysregulation and amyloidogenesis.
