Published: January 2023

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common liver disease involving interactions between a variety of liver cell types. In this issue of Immunity, Wang et al. show that efferocytosis of dying lipid-laden hepatocytes by hepatic macrophages protects against the development of NASH.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral mucosal wounds are susceptible to inflammation and complications due to exposure to microorganisms, which can hinder daily activities and diminish quality of life.
  • A novel therapeutic nanoplatform, DATS@Arg-EA-SA, has been developed to target these wounds by combining guanidinated dendritic peptides with diallyl trisulfide (DATS), providing both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • This nanoplatform effectively eliminates various bacteria, including drug-resistant strains like MRSA, and enhances healing by promoting the transition of inflammatory cells and alleviating pain, making it a promising solution for oral wound treatment.

Effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF)-model of intermittent fasting on adipose organ: a narrative review.

Eat Weight Disord

Endocrine Physiology Research Center, Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, No. 24, Sahid-Erabi St, Yemen St, Chamran Exp, Tehran, Iran.

Time-restricted feeding (TRF), an intermittent fasting approach involving a shortened eating window within 24 h, has gained popularity as a weight management approach. This review addresses how TRF may favor fat redistribution and the function of the adipose organ. TRF trials (mainly 16:8 model, with a duration of 5-48 weeks) reported a significant weight loss (1.

FTY720P-treated macrophages in PEG-4MAL hydrogels promote oral wound healing.

Electronic address:

Background Aims: Oral wound healing involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. The oral cavity is a complex wound healing environment because of the presence of saliva, a high bacterial burden and ongoing physical trauma from eating. The inflammatory component of wound healing balances the polarization of macrophages in healing tissues between M1 inflammatory macrophages and M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages.

Citrus pectins impact the function of chicken macrophages.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Cell Biology and Immunology group, Department of Animal Sciences, Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen, the Netherlands.

The restrictions on excessive use of antimicrobials in the poultry industry have led to the search for alternative strategies including nutritional interventions to enhance gut health with the ultimate aim to prevent gut infections. Pectins as prebiotics have shown beneficial effects on gut health in humans and mice by improving the gut barrier function, altering the gut microbiota, and by modulating the gut immune response. However, little is known about immunomodulatory properties of pectins in chickens.

Sexual Dimorphism in the Immunometabolic Role of Gpr183 in Mice.

J Endocr Soc

October 2024

Molecular and Translational Pharmacology, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, DK 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Context: Excessive eating and intake of a Western diet negatively affect the intestinal immune system, resulting in compromised glucose homeostasis and lower gut bacterial diversity. The G protein-coupled receptor GPR183 regulates immune cell migration and intestinal immune response and has been associated with tuberculosis, type 1 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Objective: We hypothesized that with these implications, GPR183 has an important immunometabolic role and investigated this using a global Gpr183 knockout mouse model.
