Article Synopsis
  • Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a problem that can lead to organ failure after liver surgery, and the study looks at how certain proteins affect this issue.
  • The researchers found that lower levels of a protein called CX3CR1 are linked to better recovery of damaged liver tissue during transplants.
  • By studying mice and using different tests, they discovered that blocking CX3CR1 can help improve the healing process after liver injury by allowing more immune cells to move to the damaged area.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease with a complex pathogenesis. Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is a serious complication of SLE that involves the nervous system and produces neurological or psychiatric symptoms. After decades of research, it is now believed that the diverse clinical manifestations of NPSLE are associated with intricate mechanisms, and that genetic factors, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, vascular lesions, multiple autoimmune antibodies, cytokines, and neuronal cell death may all contribute to the development of NPSLE.
