Pleural macrophages translocate to the lung during infection to promote improved influenza outcomes

This study identifies pleural macrophages migrating to the lung during influenza infection, which correlates with improved disease outcomes.

Sexual dimorphism in obesity is governed by RELMα regulation of adipose macrophages and eosinophils

This study identifies RELMα's role in sex-specific obesity protection by regulating adipose macrophages and eosinophils, revealing a therapeutic target for obesity.

Choline metabolism underpins macrophage IL-4 polarization and RELMα up-regulation in helminth infection

This study shows that choline metabolism is essential for IL-4-induced macrophage polarization and RELMα expression during helminth infection, affecting immune homeostasis and parasite clearance.

Acquisition of hybrid E/M phenotype associated with increased migration, drug resistance and stemness is mediated by reduced miR-18a levels in ER-negative breast cancer

This study shows that low miR-18a levels in ER-negative breast cancer drive hybrid E/M cell traits linked to migration, drug resistance, and stemness.

The edible seaweed Laminaria japonica contains cholesterol analogues that inhibit Lipid Peroxidation and Cyclooxygenase Enzymes

This paper isolates and characterizes five sterols from Laminaria japonica and evaluates their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities through enzyme inhibition and molecular docking.

Diet High in Soybean Oil Increases Susceptibility to Colitis in Mice

This study shows that a soybean oil-rich diet increases colitis susceptibility in mice by altering HNF4, gut microbiota, and metabolites.
