利用了专注于细胞外基质 (ECM) 的无偏的蛋白质组分析,并在患者队列中验证了研究结果.
现型化了免疫细胞子集,并使用抗CSF1.1评估了巨细胞枯竭的影响.

主要成果:

在L2-IL5^OXA小鼠模型中,表现出与人类FS-EoE相一致的基因病理特征.
鉴定出一种对炎症有反应的临时基底层层膜特征和一个涉及血静相关分子的伤口愈合特征.
素-C (TNC) 和素-16 (KRT16) 被确定为对FS-EoE的IL-4和IL-13反应的生物标志物.
发现巨细胞对于母体和细胞骨重塑至关重要,这在纤维化之前发生.
使用抗CSF1减弱纤维化相关变化的巨细胞枯竭.

结论:

巨细胞积累是FS-EoE中食道纤维化前的关键,早期事件.

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...
