Background: Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that prevent immune cell infiltration into the brain have demonstrated efficacy in multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. However, their unpredictable adverse effects necessitate the development of safer therapeutic alternatives. The choroid plexus (ChP) functions as a crucial barrier against immune cell invasion, and previous studies have shown that preventing immune cell infiltration across the ChP reduces brain lesion in MS animal models.

In the brain, TREM2 is expressed in microglia, where it undergoes proteolytic cleavage, linked to AD risk, but the responsible protease in microglia is still unknown. Another microglial-expressed AD risk factor is catalytically inactive rhomboid 2 (iRhom2, RHBDF2), which binds to and acts as a non-catalytic subunit of the metalloprotease ADAM17.

Introduction: Autophagy-lysosome pathways play a crucial role in the intracellular killing of pathogenic microorganisms. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which acute lung injury (ALI) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa affects the autophagy-lysosome pathway.
Methods: ALI mouse models were induced by lipopolysaccharide and P.

Background: Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used chemical in plastics, has various health hazards when accumulated in the environment. DEHP has been shown to cause toxicity to various organs like the liver, kidney, and reproductive organs. Phytocompounds have been used to mitigate DEHP-mediated organ toxicity.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and progressive interstitial lung disease characterised by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), resulting in high mortality rates. In this study, we provide evidence that ADAM17/PTGS2 plays a crucial role in inducing ferroptosis in fibroblasts, promoting PF. Initially, an assessment was made of ADAM17 protein levels in patients diagnosed with connective tissue diseases-interstitial lung diseases (CTD-ILD), using ELISA assays.
