Engelie net new use! The latest research from Southern Medical University shows that SGLT2 inhibitors promote ketogenic and improve MASH by inhibiting CD8 T cell activation.

2024-09-09 23:00

Accumulation of autoaggressive CD8 T cells contributes significantly to liver injury and inflammation during the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). EMPA, a highly selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, has potential therapeutic effects on hepatic steatosis; however, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated.

Liao Maofu Group of Southern University of Science and Technology reveals the transport and inhibition mechanism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug efflux pump

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global infectious disease mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). In recent years, there have been more than 10 million new cases of tuberculosis and more than 1.6 million deaths worldwide each year, making MTB the second leading infectious agent in the world, second only to SARS-CoV-2 and surpassing HIV. The emergence and continuous increase of drug-resistant tuberculosis have made the global tuberculosis epidemic more serious.

The cover article! Sichuan University Ding Qisen team revealed the formation mechanism of RHOJ endothelial cells in the pulmonary vascular microenvironment!

Lung regeneration after fibrosis requires the formation of a functional neovasculature, which is critical for gas exchange and cellular crosstalk with other lung cells. It is not clear how the pulmonary blood vessels regenerate in the absence of fibrosis.

Nanjing University Wei Jia team reported a targeted oncogenic fusion gene CLDN18-ARHGAP in gastric cancer immunotherapy!

Gastric cancer (GC), the sixth largest cancer type in the world and the third largest cause of death, is considered to be highly heterogeneous both histologically and genetically. Despite the clinical progress of anti-HER2 targeted therapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, there is still a lack of specific treatment for gastric cancer.

PNAS, Nanjing University Shi Yun/Chen Guiquan and other teams have jointly discovered a new mechanism for epilepsy-related proteins to regulate myelin development.

Leucine-rich glioma-inactivating protein 1(LGI1) is a protein secreted in the brain and plays a key role in myelination; dysfunction of this protein results in hypomelination and white matter abnormalities (WMAs).
