A robust inflammatory response involving tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is induced during cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Using chimeric models, Reeves and colleagues now demonstrate that resident kidney cells, rather than infiltrating immune cells, are the major producers of TNF-alpha. Blockade of TNF-alpha attenuates inflammation and associated kidney injury.

Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and wound healing effects of pterostilbene in human gingival fibroblasts in vitro.
Odontology
January 2025
Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
We aimed to investigate the wound-healing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects of pterostilbene (PTS) on human gingival fibroblasts (GF). Different concentrations of PTS were applied to GFs and cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. GFs were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the study groups were determined as LPS, LPS + 1 μM PTS, LPS + 10 μM PTS, and control.

Department of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Sport and Health University Research Institute (iMUDS), University of Granada, Granada, Spain.
Objectives: To investigate the association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity with cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers independently of the adiposity levels; and to explore the role of cardiorespiratory fitness in these associations in children with overweight/obesity.
Methods: A total of 109 children aged 8-11 years with overweight/obesity were included in this cross-sectional study. SDB was assessed using a scale of the reduce version of the Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire.
Prediction of Pathologic Response in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Downstaging with Locoregional and Systemic Combination Therapy.
J Hepatocell Carcinoma
January 2025
Department of Radiology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Background: The combination of locoregional and systemic therapy may achieve remarkable tumor response for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Objective: We aimed to investigate the correlation between radiologic and pathologic responses following combination therapy, evaluate their prognostic values, and to establish a non-invasive prediction system for pathologic response.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 112 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent locoregional and systemic combination therapy followed by liver resection or transplantation.
Extracellular acyl-CoA-binding protein as an independent biomarker of COVID-19 disease severity.

Inflammation and Immunity in Global Health Program, Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Factors leading to severe COVID-19 remain partially known. New biomarkers predicting COVID-19 severity that are also causally involved in disease pathogenesis could improve patient management and contribute to the development of innovative therapies. Autophagy, a cytosolic structure degradation pathway is involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, degradation of intracellular pathogens and generation of energy for immune responses.

Front Immunol

Department of Antibody Engineering, Leadartis SL, Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer therapy, but many patients fail to respond or develop resistance, often due to reduced T cell activity. Costimulation via 4-1BB has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the effector function of antigen-primed T cells. Bispecific T cell-engaging (TCE) antibodies are an effective way to provide tumor-specific T cell receptor-mediated signaling to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
