Toll-like receptor 3 acts as a suppressor gene in breast cancer initiation and progression: a two-stage association study and functional investigation

OncoImmunology, 2019
Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a receptor recognizing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from viruses as well as from lytic mammalian cells. In the present study, we performed a two-stage association study (n = 3,551) and found that the minor alleles of two ...

New Insights into Atonic Postpartum Hemorrhage: Animal Model Construction Based on Placental Nanodelivery Systems

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a placenta‐targeted nanodelivery system co‐loading HMGB1 protein and the NLRP3 agonist nigericin to establish an animal model of atonic postpartum hemorrhage. The model accurately recapitulates clinical phenotypes, including prolonged labor and uterine contractility dysfunction, while revealing inflammatory activation in placental ...
