The efficacy of stem cell therapy: cells or their microenvironment?

The therapeutic outcomes of stem cell therapy are determined not solely by cellular potency alone, but also by the receptiveness of the host microenvironment. Despite continuous progress in stem cell quality control and functional optimization technologies, inconsistent outcomes...

Senkyunolide I Inhibits mtDNA‐cGAS‐STING Signaling in Macrophages via Targeting VDAC1 Oligomerization to Attenuate Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with limited therapeutic options. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, activated by cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), has been increasingly implicated in UC. Through p...

Genomic insights into replicons and conjugative transfer systems of blaNDM-positive plasmids in the Enterobacter cloacae complex

The Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) represents a prominent opportunistic pathogen associated with multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections. The emergence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing ECC isolates presents a significant threat to public health, owing to the...
