Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by discolored, scaled patches of skin. Clinically, it is found that psychological factors often induce or aggravate the disease. Current research suggests that the pathogenesis of psoriasis involves the nervous and immune systems. This article reviews how neuropeptides secreted by nerve fibers affect dendritic cells in psoriasis. In this review, we describe that the neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal peptide can act on dendritic cells and participate in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. These neuropeptides can affect the secretion of interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 by dendritic cells, which stimulate T helper (Th)1, Th17, and Th22 cells to produce immune responses and cause the manifestation of psoriasis. The application of neuropeptide inhibitors can improve the skin lesions of psoriasis, which has been confirmed in clinical trials. Therefore, neuroimmune response may be a new direction to develop new drug treatments and perspectives in the development of psoriasis.

This study aimed to evaluate the causal effects of different immune cells on heart failure (HF) using Mendelian randomization (MR). Datasets for immune cell phenotypes and HF were obtained from European Bioinformatics Institute and FinnGen. Then, single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened according to the basic assumptions of MR.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with poor prognosis due to diagnostic and therapeutic limitations. We previously identified cystatin A (CSTA) as a PDAC biomarker and have conducted the present study to investigate the antitumor effects of CSTA. PDAC murine models were established with genetically modified PAN02 tumor cell lines to evaluate the antitumor immune response.

Background: The involvement of immune cells in the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is becoming increasingly recognized, yet their specific causal contributions remain uncertain. The objective of this research is to uncover the potential causal interactions between diverse immune cells and ICH using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Genetic variants associated with 731 immune cell traits were sourced from a comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 3757 participants.
Trehalose Ameliorates Zebrafish Emotional and Social Deficits Caused by CLN8 Dysfunction.

CLN8 and other neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) often lead to cognitive decline, emotional disturbances, and social deficits, worsening with disease progression. Disrupted lysosomal pH, impaired autophagy, and defective dendritic arborization contribute to these symptoms. Using a zebrafish model, we identified significant impairments in locomotion, anxiety, and aggression, along with subtle deficits in social interactions, positioning zebrafish as a useful model for therapeutic studies in NCL.

Introduction: Despite the established influence of gut bacteria, the role of the gut virome in modulating colorectal cancer (CRC) patient chemotherapy response remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the impact of antiviral (AV) drug-induced gut virome dysbiosis on the efficacy of 5-FU in CRC treatment.
Methods: Using a subcutaneous CRC mouse model, we assessed tumor growth and immune responses following AV treatment, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and 5-FU administration.
