Natural killer cells, central to anti‐tumor defense, undergo unexpected reprogramming within the tumor microenvironment. Instead of producing IFN‐γ and TNF‐α, they elevate amphiregulin, a tumor‐promoting factor. This shift is linked to glucocorticoid receptor activity and prostaglandin signaling.

Abstract Background and Aims Reliable noninvasive biomarkers are an unmet clinical need for the diagnosis of NASH. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the circulating triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (plasma TREM2) as a biomarker for NASH in patients with NAFLD and elevated liver stiffness.

EFFECTS OF STRESS ON BEHAVIOUR AND SLEEP
Psychologists Yerkes and Dodson described already in 1908 the inverted-U shaped relationship between arousal and performance. When the level of arousal heightens, behavioural performance increases but only to a certain point.

New approaches to treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with Colla corii asini
Colla corii asini improves chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment through anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immune‐modulatory, and lung‐nourishing effects, addressing current therapeutic challenges via multitarget mechanisms. Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability ...

Molecular dynamics of the host response to Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in baboons
Using an established, clinically relevant nonhuman primate model of S. pneumoniae pneumonia, this study aims to identify novel potential molecular diagnostic and therapeutic targets using peripheral blood bulk transcriptomic, unbiased proteomic, and cytokine measurements. The constructed models were highly accurate in classifying bacterial pneumonia in
