Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovium and progressive joint damage. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) exhibit excessive proliferative and aggressive phenotypes and play a major role in the pathophysiology of RA. Previous studies have confirmed the pathologic role of L-selectin in cell adhesion and migration.

A between-subjects investigation of whether distraction is the main mechanism behind music-induced analgesia.

Music- and distraction-induced pain reduction have been investigated extensively, yet the main mechanism underlying music-induced analgesia remains unknown. In this study, to assess whether music-induced analgesia primarily operates through cognitive modulation, we used the cold pressor task and objectively compared the pain tolerances of participants in a four-group between-subjects design: a music group that listened to a music piece in the absence of any tasks, a music-and-attention-to-music group that listened to the same piece while also rating the arousal levels in the music, a music-and-attention-to-pain group that rated their pain levels while listening to the same piece, and a silence group as control. The group passively exposed to music playback did not show significantly higher pain tolerance compared to the silence group.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a common contributor for low back pain, which is featured by loss of extracellular matrix and nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Hence, our current study is undertaken to explore the potential mechanism of NPC apoptosis during IVDD. Transcription factor Dp-1 (TFDP1) expression in degenerative and non-degenerative intervertebral disc tissues was analyzed by bioinformatics.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is a widely favored anti-tumor treatment, but it shows limited response to non-immunogenic "cold" tumors and suffers from drug resistance. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a powerful localized treatment approach, can convert a "cold tumor" into a "hot tumor" by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells, thereby enhancing tumor immunogenicity and promoting tumor immunotherapy. However, the effectiveness of PDT is largely hindered by the limited penetration depth into tumor tissues.

This is the first bottom-up review of the lived experience of postpartum depression and psychosis in women. The study has been co-designed, co-conducted and co-written by experts by experience and academics, drawing on first-person accounts within and outside the medical field. The material initially identified was shared with all participants in a cloud-based system, discussed across the research team, and enriched by phenomenological insights.
