Liver cirrhosis is a critical stage in the progression of various chronic liver diseases, often leading to severe complications such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and a high mortality rate, and it thus poses a serious threat to patient life. The activation of hepatic stellate cells is a central driver of disease progression. Cellular autophagy, a lysosome-mediated degradation process, plays a key role in maintaining cellular function and dynamic homeostasis.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells induce responses in patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia; however, long-term efficacy is frequently limited by relapse. The inability to target antigen-low cells is an intrinsic vulnerability of second-generation CAR T cells and underlies most relapses following CD22BBz CAR T cell therapy. Here, we interrogate CD22BBz CAR signaling in response to low antigen and find inefficient phosphorylation of the linker for activation of T cells (LAT) limiting downstream signaling.

Polysaccharides are the key components of natural products; however, their effects on bone repair haven't been fully evaluated. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and mechanism of polysaccharides in promoting bone repair. The Erxian herb pair polysaccharide (EHP) was isolated and purified using water extraction (1:20 (w/v); 100 ± 2 °C; 5 h) and alcohol precipitation (80 ± 2 %).

Purpose: Activation of the RAS/MAPK pathway is associated with reduced tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and poor outcomes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Previous studies demonstrated that inhibition of the MAPK pathway with a MEK inhibitor is synergistic with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Experimental Design: We conducted a phase I/II trial of pembrolizumab and binimetinib in patients with metastatic TNBC with ≤ 3 prior lines of therapy.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor with limitedtreatment options due to its resistance to conventional therapies and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In this study, we investigated whether clofazimine, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, could enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in GBM. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that clofazimine suppressed GBM cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and inhibited invasion by downregulating Wnt6-mediated activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the downstream MEK/ERK signaling cascade, leading to decreased PD-L1 expression.
