Radiotherapy can be limited by pneumonitis which is impacted by innate immunity, including pathways regulated by TRAIL death receptor DR5. We investigated whether DR5 agonists could rescue mice from toxic effects of radiation and found two different agonists, parenteral PEGylated trimeric-TRAIL (TLY012) and oral TRAIL-Inducing Compound (TIC10/ONC201) could reduce pneumonitis, alveolar-wall thickness, and oxygen desaturation. Lung protection extended to late effects of radiation including less fibrosis at 22-weeks in TLY012-rescued survivors versus un-rescued surviving irradiated-mice.

Peptide-based therapeutics are gaining attention for their potential to target various viral and host cell factors. One notable example is Pep19-2.5 (Aspidasept), a synthetic anti-lipopolysaccharide peptide that binds to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and has demonstrated inhibitory effects against certain bacteria and enveloped viruses.

Background: Recent advances in comprehensive gene analysis revealed the heterogeneity of mouse lung fibroblasts. However, direct comparisons between these subpopulations are limited due to challenges in isolating target subpopulations without gene-specific reporter mouse lines. In addition, the properties of lung lipofibroblasts remain unclear, particularly regarding the appropriate cell surface marker and the niche capacity for alveolar epithelial cell type 2 (AT2), an alveolar tissue stem cell.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Shegan Mahuang Decoction(SGMH) and its bitter Chinese herbs(BCHs) regulated the lung-gut axis through the bitter taste receptor 14(TAS2R14)/secretory immunoglobulin A(SIgA)/thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP) to intervene in the epithelial cell barrier of cold asthma rats. Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into the following five groups: normal group, model group, dexamethasone group, SGMH group, and BCHs group. A 10% ovalbumin(OVA) solution was used to sensitize the rats via subcutaneous injection on both sides of the abdomen and groin, combined with 2% OVA atomization and cold(2-4 ℃) stimulation to induce a cold asthma model in rats.

Background: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FHRCC) is an aggressive carcinoma that typically presents as advanced-stage disease. Prompt recognition of FHRCC is critical for appropriate clinical care and genetic counseling for patients and family members. However, diagnosing FHRCC from cytology specimens is challenging, with limited characterization and no reports describing prospectively identified cases.
