Article Synopsis
- Sarcoidosis is a disease where granulomas (clusters of immune cells) form in the body, and current treatments mainly involve glucocorticoids, with no alternative medications approved yet.
- Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to study sarcoidosis patients and found that certain macrophages (a type of immune cell) associated with the disease were more abundant in skin lesions and exhibited increased metabolism, particularly in a pathway called the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).
- It was discovered that inhibiting enzymes from the PPP could reduce granuloma formation in both laboratory cell models and animal studies, suggesting that targeting this pathway could lead to new treatments for sarcoidosis.
A multilayer structure with a high-quality (Bi,La)(Fe,Co)Omultiferroic thin film/[Co/Pd] perpendicular magnetic thin film dots was fabricated for demonstrating magnetization reversal of [Co/Pd] dots under an applied electric field. Although the magnetization direction of the multiferroic thin film was reversed under the electric field, the magnetic properties of the multiferroic thin films were generally low. If the multiferroic thin film in this structure can control the magnetization direction of the highly functional magnetic thin film under an electric field, high-performance magnetic devices with low power consumption are easily obtained.

- HPV infection may be a risk factor for developing Bowen's disease, a type of skin condition.
- The case study discusses a 40-year-old man who had a specific type of Bowen's disease on his finger that displayed a "skip" lesion, which is an area without the disease between affected areas.
- HPV-34 was found in the lesion, highlighting the importance of considering multiple lesions when diagnosing Bowen's disease on the finger.
