Advanced atherosclerosis is the pathological basis for acute cardiovascular events, with significant residual risk of recurrent clinical events despite contemporary treatment. The death of foamy macrophages is a main contributor to plaque progression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that massive iron accumulation in advanced atherosclerosis promoted foamy macrophage ferroptosis, particularly in low expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) foamy macrophages.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurological illness that affects over 80% of aged adults globally in cases of dementia. Although the exact pathophysiological causes of AD remain unclear, its pathogenesis is primarily driven by several distinct biochemical alterations: (i) the accumulation of toxic Aβ plaques, (ii) the hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, (iii) oxidative stress resulting in cell death, and (iv) an imbalance between the two main neurotransmitters, glutamate and acetylcholine (ACh). Currently, there are very few medications available and no treatment.

Colony-stimulating factor-1-receptor (CSF1R) inhibitors have been widely used to rapidly deplete microglia from the brain, allowing the remaining microglia population to self-renew and repopulate. These new-born microglia are thought to be "rejuvenated" and have been shown to be beneficial in several disease contexts and in normal aging. Their role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is thus of great interest as they represent a potential disease-modifying therapy.

Objectives: Periodontitis is an inflammatory and destructive disease caused by dental plaque, which can result in the immune microenvironment disorders and loss of periodontal support tissue. In order to promote the restoration of local microenvironment stability, a functional biomaterial Gelatin methacryloyl @MP196/exos based on characteristics of disease occurrence is designed.
Methods: Transmission electron microscopy, nanosight particle tracking analysis and western blot analysis were applied to prove the presence of exos in GelMA@MP196/exos.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a lipid-driven inflammatory disease characterized by plaque formation in major arteries. These plaques contain lipid-rich macrophages that accumulate through monocyte recruitment, local macrophage differentiation, and proliferation.
Objective: We identify the macrophage subsets that are closely related to atherosclerosis and reveal the key pathways in the progression of atherosclerotic disease.
