new Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



CFP - Special issue on Molecular Imaging and Theranostics. Guest Editors: Dr. Jianhua Zou, Dr. Jingjing Zhang and Dr. Mengyao Zhao.


Rationale: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions in the regulation of intestinal inflammation, but knowledge of the underlying mechanisms in innate immune cells is limited. Here, we investigated the role of AhR in modulating the functions of macrophages in inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis. Methods: The cellular composition of intestinal lamina propria CD45+ leukocytes in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model was determined by single-cell RNA sequencing. Macrophage pyroptosis was quantified by analysis of lactate dehydrogenase release, propidium iodide staining,....
Rationale: Posttranslational modifications of proteins have not been addressed in studies aimed at elucidating the cardioprotective effect of exercise in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In this study, we reveal a novel mechanism by which exercise ameliorates atherosclerosis via lactylation. Methods: Using ApoE-/- mice in an exercise model, proteomics analysis was used to identify exercise-induced specific lactylation of MeCP2 at lysine 271 (K271). Mutation of the MeCP2 K271 lactylation site in aortic plaque macrophages was achieved by recombinant adenoviral transfection. Explore....
