Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) mediates cell death and inflammatory signaling is increased in multiple sclerosis (MS) brain samples. Here, we investigate the role of glial RIPK1 activity mediating MS pathogenesis. We demonstrate levels correlate with disease progression. find microglia are susceptible to RIPK1-mediated identify an gene signature that may contribute neuroinflammatory milieu patients. uncover a distinct for astrocytes regulating absence confirm...
Abstract Myeloid cells comprise the majority of immune in tumors, contributing to tumor growth and therapeutic resistance. Incomplete understanding myeloid response driver mutation intervention impedes effective design. Here, by leveraging CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing, we generate a mouse model that is deficient all monocyte chemoattractant proteins. Using this strain, effectively abolish infiltration genetically engineered murine models de novo glioblastoma (GBM) hepatocellular...
HIV-1 infection, even with effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), is associated chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction, contributing to long-term health complications. Nicotine use, prevalent among people HIV (PWH), known exacerbate activation disease progression, but the precise biological mechanisms remain be fully understood. This study sought uncover synergistic effects of infection nicotine on cell function, focusing beneficial insights into NLRP3 inflammasome activation,...
