Kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible condition in which immunity is a contributing factor that endangers human health. It is widely acknowledged that macrophages play a significant role in developing and causing numerous kidney diseases. The increasing focus on the mechanism by which macrophages express apoptosis inhibitor of macrophages (AIM) in renal diseases has been observed. AIM is an apoptosis inhibitor that stops different things that cause apoptosis from working. This keeps AIM-bound cell types alive. Notably, the maintenance of immune cell viability regulates immunity. As our investigation progressed, we concluded that AIM has two sides when it comes to renal diseases. AIM can modulate renal phagocytosis, expedite the elimination of renal tubular cell fragments, and mitigate tissue injury. AIM can additionally exacerbate the development of renal fibrosis and kidney disease by prolonging inflammation. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) may also worsen faster if more protein is in the urine. This is because IgA and immunoglobulin M are found together and expressed. In the review, we provide a comprehensive overview of prior research and concentrate on the impacts of AIM on diverse subcategories of nephropathies. We discovered that AIM is closely associated with renal diseases by playing a positive or negative role in the onset, progression, or cure of kidney disease. AIM is thus a potentially effective therapeutic target for kidney diseases.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is amongst the earliest targeted kinases by small-molecule inhibitors for the management of EGFR-positive cancer types. While a few inhibitors are granted FDA approval for clinical use, discovery of new inhibitors is still of merit to enhance ligand-binding stability and subsequent enzyme inhibition. Thus, a structure-based design approach was adopted to devise a new series of twenty-nine N3-substituted quinazolin-4-ones as type I ATP-competitive inhibitors targeting the deep hydrophobic pocket of EGFR.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an exceedingly common and profoundly impactful malignancy of the digestive system, posing a grave threat to human health. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an intracellular biological reaction that mobilizes the unfolded protein response (UPR) to tackling dysregulation in protein homeostasis. This process subtly modulates the cell to either restore normal cellular function or steer it towards apoptosis.

Inflammation stimulation regulates the activity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through direct-sensing and cytokine-mediation. It is known that HSCs directly sense lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a classical infection-related inflammatory signal, via toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and subsequently become active. However, the mechanism underlying the activity change of HSCs induced by LPS remains incompletely disclosed.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a prevalent and life-threatening cerebrovascular disease that is challenging to treat and associated with a poor prognosis. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), a primary bioactive component of Astragali radix, has demonstrated neuroprotective benefits in previous studies. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms through which AS-IV may treat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).

Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases by promoting the acquisition of new functional traits by different cell types. Shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, including smoking, obesity, diabetes, high-fat diet, low physical activity, and alcohol consumption, contribute to inflammation linked to platelet activation. Platelets contribute to an inflammatory state by activating various normal cells, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and vascular cells.
