Unlabelled: Despite its high mortality, specific and effective drugs for sepsis are lacking. Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a potential biomarker for the progression of inflammatory diseases. The recombinant human DcR3-Fc chimera protein (DcR3.

Despite these applications, its efficacy in sepsis treatment remains unexplored. This study introduces a novel function of CA, demonstrating its capacity to mitigate sepsis induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in mice models.

To improve patient survival in sepsis, it is necessary to curtail exaggerated inflammatory responses. Fucoxanthin (FX), a carotenoid derived from brown algae, efficiently suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression via IRF3 activation, thereby reducing mortality in a mouse model of sepsis. However, the effects of FX-targeted IRF3 on the bacterial flora (which is disrupted in sepsis) and the mechanisms by which it impacts sepsis development remain unclear.

We previously illustrated the anti-inflammatory effects of fucoxanthin (FX), a natural carotenoid isolated from brown algae; nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we examine the mechanism of the action of FX by targeting interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) to inhibit inflammatory response.

There have been numerous studies that demonstrate FX's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-obesity properties against inflammation-related diseases. There is no consensus, however, regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

AHPND is mainly caused by species carrying the pVA1 plasmid encoding the virulence genes Photorhabdus insect-related () and . We developed a new molecular assay that combines recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and CRISPR/Cas12a technology (RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a) to detect and , with a fluorescent signal result.
