Hepatocyte BDNF Acts as a Novel Immune Checkpoint to Restrain TLR4‐Mediated Acute Hepatitis
This study identifies hepatocyte‐derived BDNF as an endogenous TLR4 antagonist that alleviates acute hepatitis. BDNF is downregulated in hepatocytes via REST‐mediated transcriptional repression during ALI/ALF. Mechanistically, BDNF binds to TLR4 on macrophages to suppress inflammation.

Engineered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Silicasomes) enable systemic delivery of the STING agonist ADU‐S100, overcoming the instability and toxicity that limit cyclic dinucleotides to local administration. By enhancing tumor accumulation, activating systemic antitumor immunity, and remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment, these nanoparticles ...

Trained Memory of Uterine Macrophages Improves Subsequent Pregnancy Outcomes
This study identifies that pregnancy imprints a durable, pregnancy‐specific form of trained immune memory in uterine macrophages, marked by the emergence of LILRB3+/PIR‐B+ cells that expand across gestations, acquire a tolerogenic and metabolically rewired phenotype, and actively protect against inflammatory pregnancy loss in mice.

Lipid metabolic stress triggers ferroptosis in PDLSCs through the GSK3β/NRF2 pathway, thereby aggravating periodontal bone loss. Upregulated GSK3β promotes NRF2 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation via β‐TrCP, suppressing NRF2 nuclear translocation and antioxidant target expression.

ABSTRACT KDM5B, a member of the KDM5 family of histone demethylases, plays a critical role in transcriptional repression by demethylating H3K4me2/3. It regulates key biological processes such as development, stem cell maintenance, and oncogenesis, and its aberrant expression is implicated in various cancers. Accordingly, KDM5B is considered a promising

Effect of C5a Receptor Antagonist on the Osteogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells
ABSTRACT Objective Complement component 5a (C5a) binding to its receptor (C5aR) can mediate pro‐inflammatory immune responses, which impairs osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). The present study aimed to evaluate the regulatory effect of C5aR antagonist (W54011) on the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in an in vitro ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Salivary Periodontal Biomarkers Is Reduced in Patients With Crohn's Disease
ABSTRACT Objectives Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at increased risk of developing periodontal disease and may benefit from salivary biomarker–based monitoring for early detection and management. Given the previously reported reduced specificity of the salivary aMMP‐8 test in CD, this study aimed to evaluate alternative salivary biomarkers for ...

Critical role of keratinocytes and protease‐activated receptor 2 in secondary lymphedema development
Activated keratinocytes play an important role in the early stage of the pathophysiology of secondary lymphedema through PAR2 signaling. Lymphatic injury‐induced protease activation stimulates keratinocyte PAR2 signaling, driving hyperkeratosis and Th2 inflammation, which can be therapeutically attenuated by teriflunomide. Abstract Background Secondary
