Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality, a highly effective treatment with low side effects and tolerance is needed. Photothermal immunotherapy is a promising treatment combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy. PTT induces the release of tumor-associated antigens by ablating tumor and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) enhance the antitumor immunity. Results showed that Indocyanine Green (ICG) was successfully encapsulated into SF-Gel. ICG could convert light to heat and SF-Gel accelerates the photothermal effect and . PTT based on ICG/ICG-SF-Gel inhibited the growth of primary and distal tumors, GLP enhanced the inhibitory efficacy. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT and GLP immunotherapy improved the survival time. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT induces tumor necrosis and GLP enhanced the photothermal efficacy. ICG/ICG-SF-Gel-based PTT inhibited cell proliferation and angiogenesis, induced cell apoptosis, enhanced cellular immunity, and GLP enhanced these effects. In conclusion, GLP could enhance the abscopal effect of PTT in Hepatoma-bearing mice.

This study aimed to investigate the expression of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) in the lacrimal gland and explore the effects of topical application of GLP-1R agonist (GLP-1RA) on lacrimal gland function in a murine model of type 1 diabetes. Tear secretion was evaluated using phenol red threads, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to explore gene expression profiles associated with hyperglycemia-induced lacrimal gland injuries, and histological analysis was conducted to evaluate the degree of damage. The expression of GLP-1R in the lacrimal gland was first identified and a downregulation trend associated with diabetes was observed.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease caused by insulin resistance (IR) and insufficient insulin secretion. Its characteristic pathophysiological processes involve the interaction of multiple mechanisms. In recent years, globally, the prevalence of T2DM has shown a sharp rise due to profound changes in socio-economic structure, the persistent influence of environmental factors, and the complex role of genetic background.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder primarily affecting motor control, clinically characterized by resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and other symptoms that significantly diminish the quality of life. Currently, available treatments only alleviate symptoms without halting or delaying disease progression. There is a significant association between PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), possibly due to shared pathological mechanisms such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Background And Aims: Combining probiotics and prebiotics in synbiotics may present a synergistic approach to improve type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, further evidence is required to establish the comparative efficacy of synbiotics versus probiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis MN-Gup (MN-Gup) and a synbiotic mixture of MN-Gup and galactooligosaccharide (MN-Gup-GOS) on glycemic control in T2DM patients and explore possible mechanisms.

Aims: Semaglutide, a novel long-acting GLP-1RA, stimulates insulin and suppresses islet-secreted glucagon to reduce glucose levels. It has been unveiled that m6A mRNA modification plays a pivotal role in regulating β cell function. However, it remains unclear whether semaglutide can elicit protective effects through manipulating m6A modification and the underlying mechanism.
