T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain(TIGIT)is a novel immune checkpoint that has been considered as a target in cancer immunotherapy.Current available bioassays for measuring the biological activity of therapeutic antibodies targeting TIGIT are restricte
追溯疾病的发现过程rn脊髓性肌萎缩症的发现可追溯到19世纪90年代.1891年,奥地利神经疾病学家圭多·韦德尼格最先描述两位兄弟患儿.1893-1900年,德国神经疾病学家约翰·霍夫曼进一步描述7位患儿.他们注意到这些患儿在出生后几个月内就出现不同程度的肌无力,且疾病发生具有一定家族性.他们进一步研究发现,这些患儿脊髓前角部位的运动神经元出现退化,正是这一原因导致骨骼肌功能受损.为纪念两位科学家,Ⅰ型脊髓性肌萎縮症又被称为“霍夫曼-韦德尼格病”.
Liver diseases are considered to predominantly possess an inherited or xenobiotic etiology.However,inheritance drives the ability to appropriately adapt to environmental stressors,and disease is the culmination of a maladaptive response.Thus“pure”genetic
Aging-elevated DNMT3A R882H-driven clonal hematopoiesis(CH)is a risk factor for myeloid malignancies remission and overall survival.Although some studies were conducted to investi-gate this phenomenon,the exact mechanism is still under debate.In this stud
The mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)-sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBPs)signaling promotes lipogenesis.However,mTOR inhibitors also displayed a significant side effect of hyperlipidemia.Thus,it is essential to develop mTOR-specific inhib
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has become one of the most prominent causes of chronic liver diseases and malignancies.However,few therapy has been approved.Radix Bupleuri(RB)is the most frequently used herbal medicine for the treatment of liver di
Parkin,an E3 ubiquitin ligase,plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis through targeting damaged mitochondria for mitophagy.Accumulating evidence suggests that the acetylation modification of the key mitophagy machinery influences mitophagy l
Given the opposing effects of Akt and AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)on metabolic homeostasis,this study examined the effects of deletion of Akt2 and AMPKα2 on fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis.Akt2-Ampkα2 double knockout(DKO)mice were placed on high
A significant proportion of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients experience accumu-lating chemotherapy-related adverse events,motivating the design of chemosensitizating strategies.The main cytotoxic damage induced by chemotherapeutic agents is DNA d
Genetic gain-of-function mutations of warm temperature-sensitive transient receptor poten-tial vanilloid 3(TRPV3)channel cause Olmsted syndrome characterized by severe itching and keratoder-ma,indicating that pharmacological inhibition of TRPV3 may hold p
