It is well known that the intestine absorbs nutrients, electrolytes, and water. Chikina et al. recently demonstrated that it is also able to sense, recognize, and block the absorption of toxins through a very sophisticated interactive cellular cooperation between novel subpopulations of macrophages and epithelial cells.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Previous research has confirmed that isofraxidin can reduce macrophage expression and inhibit peripheral inflammation. However, its effects on the central nervous system remain underexplored.

Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has fundamentally transformed cancer treat-ment by unlocking the potency of CD8+ T cells by targeting the suppression of the CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 pathways. Nevertheless, ICBs are associated with the risk of severe side effects and resistance in certain patients, driving the search for novel and safer immune check-point modulators. Monoamine Oxidase A (MAO-A) plays an unexpected role in the field of cancer.

Background: For patients with osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears, there is still no consensus on current treatment methods. The material, structure, and number of anchors have important effects on the repair outcome.
Purpose: To investigate the use of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-coated nickel-titanium memory alloy (NTMA) anchors to treat rotator cuff injury in shoulders with osteoporosis in a rabbit osteoporosis model.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential inflammatory cytokines and chemokines markers for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) diagnosis using a bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: The differentially expressed genes of mRNA (DEGs) and transcripts of lncRNA (DETs) were identified between TMJOA samples and normal controls curated from GSE205389 by the "DESeq. 2" R package.
