Abstract:
The increasing global burden of digestive diseases, coupled with the complexity of their pathogenesis, underscores the urgent need for in-depth research into precise organ-specific therapies. The Cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (GMP-AMP) synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway, a crucial innate immune signaling axis, has garnered considerable attention for its roles in immune defense, inflammation regulation, tumorigenesis, and tissue homeostasis. In this review, we outline common digestive diseases linked to the Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway, elucidate its mechanistic contributions to these conditions, and provide a detailed analysis of how targeting this signaling axis may influence disease progression. We hope this review will offer a theoretical foundation for developing novel therapeutics and innovative treatment strategies for digestive diseases, thereby contributing to improved clinical outcomes.

G Protein-coupled Receptors
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or serpentine receptors, and consist of seven (H1-H7) transmembrane alpha-helices that span the bilayer to form a cylindrical core. The transmembrane helices are connected by three extracellular loops and three...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
