IL-27 is structurally an immune-enhancing and pleiotropic two-chain cytokine associated with IL-12 and IL-6 families. IL-27 contains two subunits, namely IL-27p28 and EBI3. A heterodimer receptor of IL-27, composed of IL27Rα (WSX1) and IL6ST (gp130) chains, mediates the IL-27 function following the activation of STAT1 and STAT3 signaling pathways.

Background: Although evidence suggests that dental floss contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), it is still uncertain whether the use of dental floss contributes to an increased risk of PFAS exposure.

Methods: We analysed data on serum PFAS concentrations and dental floss usage in a cohort of 6750 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2020. In our study, we used logistic regression, a survey-weighted linear model, item response theory (IRT) scores, inverse probability weights (IPWs) and sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact of dental floss usage on human serum PFAS levels.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, comprising various cells like neurons and glial cells, such as schwann and satellite cells. The PNS is increasingly recognized for its bidirectional interactions with tumors, exhibiting both pro- and anti-tumor effects. Our review delves into the complex mechanisms underlying these interactions, highlighting recent findings that challenge the conventional understanding of PNS's role in tumorigenesis.

Simple and Smart Metal-Phenolic Micelles for Optimizing Immunotherapy by Disrupting Tumor Stemness.

cGAS-STING pathway activation has attracted considerable attention in antitumor immunotherapy, but clinical outcomes lag behind expectations due to overlooked negative feedback mechanisms. Here, we determine that STING activation promotes tumor stemness, which weakens the efficacy of STING-based therapies, presenting a double-edged sword. To address this therapeutic paradox, a simple metal-phenolic polymeric micelle (HMQ) was developed, in which Mn (a STING agonist) is coordinated with quercetin (a stemness inhibitor) and hyaluronic acid (HA), to unlock the full therapeutic potential of the cGAS-STING pathway.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors globally. Fusobacterium nucleatum and its metabolites are effective biological targets for colon cancer promotion. Probiotics such as Bifidobacterium can block the occurrence and development of CRC by regulating the host intestinal mucosal immunity, eliminating carcinogens, and interfering with tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis.
