Background: Clinical studies in COVID-19 patients have demonstrated evidence of neuroinflammation in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. In this pre-clinical work, we investigate neuroinflammation in vivo in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that exhibits both amyloid and tau pathology, the 3xTg-AD mice crossed with K18 hAce2 and infected with SARS-CoV-2 using a folate receptor-targeted nanoprobe for molecular MRI (mMRI) followed by ex vivo histopathology.

Method: In vivo studies with SARS-CoV-2 were performed in an animal biosafety level 3 (ABSL3) facility.

Background: The goal of the TREAT-AD Center is to enable drug discovery by developing assays and providing tool compounds for novel and emerging targets. The role of microglia in neuroinflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Genome-wide association studies, whole genome sequencing, and gene-expression network analyses comparing normal to AD brain have identified risk and protective variants in genes essential to microglial function.

Treatment with pegylated nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (folinic acid; 5-FU/LV) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in clinical trials. However, real-world data on the effectiveness of nal-IRI+5-FU/LV is heterogeneous and is lacking in Spain. To assess the effectiveness and safety of nal-IRI+5-FU/LV in real-life PDAC patients in Spain.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare clinical entity characterized by fever, constitutional symptoms, and hepatosplenomegaly associated with the presence of hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow and other organs. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe zoonotic disease hypoendemic in Portugal, particularly in the Alto Douro region. We report the case of a 21-year-old female patient with a recent diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, stage C3, in the context of severe pneumonia, who presented to the emergency department with fever, erythematous rash on the upper limbs and trunk, choluria and jaundice, one week after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART).

In Situ Proefferocytosis Microspheres as Macrophage Polarity Converters Accelerate Osteoarthritis Treatment.

Small

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Laboratory of Biological Tissue Engineering and Digital Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, No. 1 The South of Maoyuan Road, Nanchong, Sichuan, 637000, P. R. China.

Efferocytosis in macrophages typically engages an anti-inflammatory positive feedback regulatory mechanism. In osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by imbalanced inflammatory homeostasis, the proinflammatory state of macrophages in the immune microenvironment can be reversed through enhanced efferocytosis. This study develops an in situ proefferocytosis hydrogel microsphere (macrophage polarity converter, H-C@IL) for OA treatment.
