“…During the early stage (6 h) of the STING agonist treatment group, the STING pathway was activated, autophagy flux was up-regulated, and liver inflammation and injury were alleviated. Contrastingly, at the late stage of STING agonist treatment (24 h, 48 h), macrophages were polarized to the M1 phenotype, exacerbating liver inflammatory infiltration and injury. …”

Advancements in noninvasive techniques for transplant rejection: from biomarker detection to molecular imaging by Yuan Song, Yihui Wang, Wenyuan Wang, Yuji Xie, Junmin Zhang, Jing Liu, Qiaofeng Jin, Wenqian Wu, He Li, Jing Wang, Li Zhang, Yali Yang, Tang Gao, Mingxing Xie

“…This review highlights noninvasive biomarkers that predict, diagnose, and assess transplant prognosis by reflecting graft injury, inflammation, and immune responses. For example, donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is highly sensitive in detecting early graft injury, whereas gene expression profiling effectively excludes moderate-to-severe acute rejection (AR). …”

Complement Receptors C5aR and C5L2 Are Associated with Metabolic Profile, Sex Hormones, and Liver Enzymes in Obese Women Pre- and Postbariatric Surgery by Reza Rezvani, Jessica Smith, Marc Lapointe, Picard Marceau, Andre Tchernof, Katherine Cianflone

“…Obesity is associated with metabolic dysfunction with sex differences and chronic, low-grade inflammation. We proposed that hepatic expression of immune complement C3 related receptors (C3aR, C5aR, and C5L2) would be associated with pre- or postmenopausal status and metabolic profile in severely obese women. …”

Novel Role of Pin1-Cis P-Tau-ApoE Axis in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia and Its Connection with Dementia by Emmanuel Amabebe, Zheping Huang, Sukanta Jash, Balaji Krishnan, Shibin Cheng, Akitoshi Nakashima, Yitong Li, Zhixong Li, Ruizhi Wang, Ramkumar Menon, Xiao Zhen Zhou, Kun Ping Lu, Surendra Sharma

“…Preeclampsia (preE) is a severe multisystem hypertensive syndrome of pregnancy associated with ischemia/hypoxia, angiogenic imbalance, apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-mediated dyslipidemia, placental insufficiency, and inflammation at the maternal–fetal interface. Our recent data further suggest that preE is associated with impaired autophagy, vascular dysfunction, and proteinopathy/tauopathy disorder, similar to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), including the presence of the cis stereo-isoform of phosphorylated tau (cis P-tau), amyloid-β, and transthyretin in the placenta and circulation. …”
