Background: Closed head injury (CHI) provokes a prominent neuroinflammation that may lead to long-term health consequences. Microglia plays pivotal and complex roles in neuroinflammation-mediated neuronal insult and repair following CHI. We previously reported that induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) can block the effects of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling on NF-κB activation in activated microglia by CXCR4 overexpression.

Nematodes, commonly known as roundworms, are among the most prevalent and diverse multicellular organisms on Earth, belonging to the large phylum Nematoda. In addition to free-living species, many nematodes are parasitic, infecting plants, animals, and humans. Nematodes possess a wide array of genes responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and glycosylation.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal forms of cancer, and despite low incidence rates, it remains the sixth leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Immunotherapy, which aims to enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, has emerged as a promising approach in the battle against PDAC. PARP7, a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, is a negative regulator of the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway and has been reported to reduce anti-tumour immunity.

Endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs) TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 play an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. The proteolytic processing of these receptors in the endolysosome is required for signaling in response to DNA and single-stranded RNA, respectively. Targeting this proteolytic processing may represent a novel strategy to inhibit TLR-mediated pathogenesis.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and poses significant challenges to current therapies because of its complex immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Oncolytic viruses armed with immunoregulatory molecules are promising strategies to overcome limited efficacy and target inaccessible and metastatic tumors. In this study, we constructed a tumor-selective vaccinia virus (VV) with deletions of the TK and A49 genes (VVLΔTKΔA49, VVL-DD) using CRISPR-Cas9-based homologous recombination.
