Placental Small Extracellular Vesicles as Modulators of Bisphenol A-Induced Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Activation in Human Astrocytoma Cells (U-373 MG). (PubMed, Am J Physiol Cell Physiol)
These findings suggest that placental sEVs play a critical role in modulating astrocyte responses to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. The ability of sEVs to restore redox homeostasis highlights their potential physiological function in fetal neuroprotection against environmental stressors.

In situ electrospinning at the operating table to immobilise mesenchymal stem cells on the bony wall for the regeneration of osteoporotic bone defects. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
In summary, this study presents a novel stem cell delivery strategy that enables direct immobilization of MSCs at bone defect sites. Compared with non-electrospun MSCs, electrospun MSCs enhance autologous stem cell homing and modulate immunity to improve the osteogenic microenvironment, thereby promoting bone repair.

Relevance of Chemokines in Mobilizing γδ T Cells in the Biliary Tract Cancer Microenvironment: Potential for γδ T-Cell-Based Adoptive Cell Therapy. (PubMed, Am J Clin Oncol)
Comprehensive single-cell analysis identified selective chemokine recruitment signatures supporting γδ T-cell infiltration but revealed paradoxical corecruitment of immunosuppressive populations. Patient stratification through chemokine profiling, combined with γδ T-cell enrichment and targeted chemokine antagonism, represents a rational therapeutic strategy.

Tussilagone inhibits MRGPRX2-mediated mast cell degranulation and suppresses pseudo-allergic reactions. (PubMed, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol)
Mechanistically, Tus inhibited tolimidone-induced Lyn kinase activation and suppressed SP-and Tween 80-induced β-hexosaminidase release, exhibiting an inhibitory profile comparable to that of the Lyn/Btk antagonist bosutinib. Additionally, Tus attenuated the phosphorylation levels of MRGPRX2 downstream signal molecules, including Btk, PLCγ1, PKC, p38 MAPK, IκB-α and NF-κB (p65). In conclusion, Tus attenuates SP-and Tween 80-induced mast cell activation and pseudo-allergic reactions by targeting the Lyn/Btk/PLCγ1 and p38/NF-κB pathways, highlighting its therapeutic potential for pseudo-allergy.

Corticosteroids ameliorate CAR T-cell-induced cytokine-release syndrome without inhibiting multiple myeloma treatment. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
In summary, our results should encourage further clinical research to design corticosteroid regimens that optimize treatment of CAR T-cell toxicities while maintaining anti-malignancy activity.

CCR-CCL axes as key upstream influencers of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: CCR2-CCL2, CCR5-CCL5, CCR4-CCL17/22, CCR6-CCL20, CCR7-CCL19/21. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
We further detail past and ongoing therapeutic efforts and trials addressing these axes in both PDAC and relevant non-PDAC settings via several small-molecule antagonists and monoclonal antibodies: BMS-813160, Maraviroc, Leronlimab, FLX475, PF-07054894, IDOR- 1117-2520, and CAP-100. Despite continuous advances in the field, the current body of evidence remains limited and presents significant research gaps in areas such as spatial profiling, stage-specific analyses, and general mechanistic validation in PDAC-specific settings. Addressing these shortcomings will be key to developing a more comprehensive knowledge of the field and improving future therapeutic strategies to overcome PDAC.

Digoxin attenuates LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice via NF-κB and HIF-1α inhibition. (PubMed, Biomol Biomed)
The LPS group (5 mg/kg, intratracheal) was assigned to either prophylactic regimens (daily saline, dexamethasone 5 mg/kg, or digoxin 1 mg/kg, administered intraperitoneally for 5 days prior to LPS) or therapeutic regimens (same interventions initiated 12 h post-LPS for 3 days). At the study endpoint, pulmonary edema (wet-to-dry ratio) and lung injury pathways were analyzed in lung homogenates, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-6, myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), NF-κB (p65) DNA-binding activity, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2/macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (CXCL2/MIP-2), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), alongside histopathological evaluations. It also strongly inhibited NF-κB activation, reducing CXCL2/MIP-2, while decreasing HIF-1α in both regimens (each p < 0.001). Histological analysis corroborated these findings, revealing improved alveolar architecture and reduced inflammatory injury. In conclusion, digoxin exhibits potent immunomodulatory activity in experimental ALI, warranting further translational research focused on dose optimization and safety profiling.

Protective effect of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation during pregnancy against lipopolysaccharide-induced intrauterine growth restriction in fetal mice. (PubMed, J Nutr)
In pregnant mice, maternal DHA supplementation mitigated LPS-induced FGR by suppressing NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling, modulating gut microbiota composition, and supporting intestinal barrier function, highlighting a potential nutritional strategy to alleviate inflammation-associated adverse pregnancy outcomes.

LPS-induced TLR4 activation enhances NF-κB signalling in human ovarian granulosa-like tumor cell line and induced primordial Follicle activation in mouse ex vivo ovary assay. (PubMed, J Reprod Immunol)
MCP-1 enhances AKT phosphorylation and cell proliferation, suggesting a link between immune signalling and follicle activation. These findings indicate that LPS-induced activation of TLR4 may interact with PI3K-AKT signalling to regulate primordial follicle activation and ovarian reserve maintenance.

We also assess challenges in clinical translation, including tumor-type heterogeneity, insufficient biomarkers, and incomplete understanding of spatial immune architecture within bone lesions. Advancing myeloid-targeted interventions may enable more durable control of metastasis and improve outcomes for patients with skeletal involvement.
