Background: Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) and IL-13 receptor α1 (IL-13Rα1) play major roles in type 2 inflammation. However, most of the literature was limited to allergic asthma.

Objective: This study examined how these receptors contribute to upper respiratory tract inflammation and explored potential therapeutic targets in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS).

CS1 (SLAMF7), a pivotal immune receptor, plays a dual role in modulating immune responses in autoimmune diseases and cancer. In autoimmunity, aberrant CS1 signaling contributes to the activation of autoreactive lymphocytes, driving pathologies such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Conversely, in oncology, CS1 serves as a promising immunotherapeutic target, exemplified by the efficacy of the monoclonal antibody Elotuzumab in multiple myeloma.

Cell communication is crucial for coordinating physiological functions in multicellular organisms, with exosomes playing a significant role. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication by transporting proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids between cells. These small, membrane-bound vesicles, derived from the endosomal pathway, are integral to various biological processes, including signal transmission and cellular behavior modulation.

Background: Prior research linking myosteatosis with cognition in older adults has been conducted in relatively homogenous populations with narrow age ranges. We evaluated if abdominal myosteatosis was associated with processing speed in a multiethnic cohort of middle aged and older adults.

Methods: The sample included 1,268 adults (46-86 years-old, mean 63±9 years, 53 % female, 41 % White, 20 % Black, 14 % Chinese, and 25 % Hispanic), a subset from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

Sleep deprivation is a growing concern in cardiovascular risk, causing physiological disruptions like autonomic dysregulation and inflammation. Recent research indicates that sleep deprivation increases sympathetic nervous activity while decreasing parasympathetic activity, leading to increased blood pressure, impaired endothelial function, and heightened inflammation. Exercise has emerged as a non-pharmacological approach to increase cardiovascular health.
