The steps leading to key pathogenetic aspect of ANCA-associated vasculitis, such as lung nodules in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), onset of glomerulonephritis (GN) in experimental myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA models and the implications of carrying staphylococcal superantigens, such as toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (tsst-1), in GPA remain to be elucidated. The session 'Cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease (II)' was devoted to close some of these knowledge gaps and underlined that research in ANCA-associated vasculitis leads to more granular understanding of these complex diseases. Here, we present an overview of this session at a glance.

Detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS) that accumulate under saline conditions is crucial for plant salt tolerance. The Salt Overly Sensitive (SOS) pathway functions upstream, while flavonoids act downstream, in ROS scavenging under salt stress. However, the potential crosstalk between the SOS pathway and flavonoids in regulating salt stress responses and the associated mechanisms remain largely unexplored.

Background And Aims: Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), an indicator of clinical metastasis, significantly shortens hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients' lifespan, and no effective treatment has been established. We aimed to illustrate mechanisms underlying PVTT formation and tumor metastasis, and identified potential targets for clinical intervention.
Approach And Results: Multi-omics data of 159 HCC patients (including 37 cases with PVTT) was analyzed to identify contributors to PVTT formation and tumor metastasis.

Motivation: Computational models are crucial for addressing critical questions about systems evolution and deciphering system connections. The pivotal feature of making this concept recognisable from the biological and clinical community is the possibility of quickly inspecting the whole system, bearing in mind the different granularity levels of its components. This holistic view of system behaviour expands the evolution study by identifying the heterogeneous behaviours applicable, for example, to the cancer evolution study.

Macrophages are critical to maintaining and restoring tissue homeostasis during inflammation. The lipid metabolic state of macrophages influences their function and polarization, which is crucial to the resolution of inflammation. The contribution of lipid synthesis to proinflammatory macrophage responses is well understood.

We have quantum chemically investigated the catalytic effect of hydrogen bonding organocatalysts, (H2N)2C=X (X = O, S, Se, NH, PH, AsH, CH2, SiH2 GeH2), such as urea, on the classic Diels-Alder reaction. All studied hydrogen bond donor catalysts enhance the Diels-Alder reaction between acrolein and 1,3-butadiene to a similar extent. Our activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analyses show that these organocatalysts lower the reaction barrier by polarizing the p-orbitals away from the reactive carbon atoms of acrolein, reducing the Pauli repulsion between the reactants.
