Deficiency of N6-Methyladenosine Demethylase ALKBH5 Alleviates Ultraviolet B Radiation-Induced Chronic Actinic Dermatitis via Regulating Pyroptosis
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death (PCD) and is reported to be associated with N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of m6A demethylase AlkB homo...

Galectin-3 Mediates Endotoxin Internalization and Caspase-4/11 Activation in Tubular Epithelials and Macrophages During Sepsis and Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Besides being recognized by membrane receptor TLR4, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can also be internalized into the cytosol and activate Caspase-4/11 pyroptotic pathways to further amplify inflammation in sepsis. T...

A biophysical model for dopamine modulating working memory through reward system in obsessive–compulsive disorder
Dopamine modulates working memory in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and is crucial for obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the mechanism is unclear. Here we establish a biophysical model of the effect o...

The role of inflammatory biomarkers in the association between rheumatoid arthritis and depression: a Mendelian randomization study
Inflammation may mediate the co-pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and depression because inflammatory cytokines are associated with RA and depression. However, traditional observational research was no...
