Weathering a cytokine storm with extracellular vesicles

Extracellular vesicles from liver cells can elicit a 'lipid counterstorm' that counters the effects of cytokine storms in mice. The treatment shows promise for treating inflammatory conditions such as sepsis, coagulopathy and colitis.

Mechanobiology breakthrough reshapes understanding of atherosclerosis: Stacked endothelial cells transform into novel foam cells, unlocking new targets for anti-lipid and anti-inflammatory therapies

Researchers have discovered a new subtype of foam cells that form in early atherosclerosis, driven by mechanical stacking stress. These coralthelial cells promote inflammation and accelerate lesion development. The study offers promising therapeutic targets and novel prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Lab-grown human skin advances our understanding of the critical role of skin blood vessels in inflammation, repair, regeneration, and aging

Researchers have created lab-grown human skin organoids that can form complex microvascular networks similar to those in native human skin. These self-organizing structures function similarly to native skin, responding to inflammatory stimuli and re-growing after injury.

Study elucidates role of “G900” gene enhancers in asthma-associated inflammation

Researchers found that mice lacking the G900 region exhibit reduced inflammatory response and suppressed Th2 differentiation when exposed to allergens. This discovery highlights the importance of the G900 gene enhancer in regulating immune responses and has implications for personalized treatments and asthma care.

New strategy enables targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

A new strategy for treating rheumatoid arthritis has been proposed, integrating small interfering RNAs and Prussian blue nanoparticles to silence proinflammatory cytokines and scavenge reactive oxygen species. The approach was tested in a mouse model, showing improved therapeutic efficacy and real-time monitoring capabilities.

Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying severe COVID-19

A team of researchers found that two SARS-CoV-2 proteins, NSP6 and ORF7a, are essential for activating the NF-κB pathway, leading to elevated cytokine levels. The study suggests that targeting this pathway may offer a strategy to stop the virus.

Prenatal cytokine exposure and midlife stress response

A study of 80 people shows that prenatal exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is associated with different responses to stressful stimuli in adults. Women prenatally exposed to cytokines have altered brain activity and connectivity compared to men.

Study shows long-term stress appears to damage caregivers’ immune systems

A study found that long-term caregivers experienced a rapid increase in proinflammatory cytokine levels, which continued even after the care recipient died. The research suggests that chronic stress can prematurely age the immune response and contribute to various age-related diseases.
