Mast cells as the body's main immune cells, not only involved in allergic, inflammatory response, but also related to a lot of physiological and pathological processes. Its differentiation, maturation, activation and media release are in strict regulation and control. The in-depth study of mast cells not only allows us to understand the mechanism of allergy, inflammation and autoimmune diseases more thoroughly, but also provide us some valuable reference about the prevention and treatment of such diseases.

Mast cells exert multiple roles beyond their classical role in IgE-mediated allergic reactions. These cells secrete pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory agents and change from protective immune cells to pro-inflammatory cells, capable of influencing the progression of different pathological conditions, including tumors, in which they exert anti-tumorigenic and pro-tumorigenic roles. In this context, this article analyzes the potential role played by mast cell-derived proteases in tumor progression and more specifically in driving metastatic process and the potential therapeutic approaches that inhibiting the activation of these cells could help faith cancer spreading.

Previous studies have revealed the essential role of lysosomes in human diseases, including cancer. However, there is a lack of in-depth systematic research on its function in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). In this project, we collected the public dataset of KIRC and selected lysosomal genes tightly linked with survival.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is known to be a major complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of death in SSc patients. As the most common type of ILD, the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), protein‒protein interaction, Kaplan-Meier curve, univariate Cox analysis and machine learning methods were used on datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Background: Epilepsy has a genetic predisposition, yet causal factors and the dynamics of the immune environment in epilepsy are not fully understood.
Methods: We analyzed peripheral blood samples from epilepsy patients, identifying key genes associated with epilepsy risk through Mendelian randomization, using eQTLGen and genome-wide association studies. The peripheral immune environment's composition in epilepsy was explored using CIBERSORT.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, etiologically complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neuronal damage. MS has seven categories based on disease course. Seventy to eighty percent of individuals with MS initially develop a clinical pattern with periodic relapses and remissions, called relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).
