The global battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has tested the limits of global public health. Across the globe, scientists and researchers have displayed unwavering dedication, resulting in remarkable progress in various realms of COVID-19 research and treatment. This blog post will delve into three pivotal areas of study: the optimization of...

In recent years, the rapid advancements in precision medicine and biotechnology have ushered in unprecedented transformations in cancer treatment. Among these, exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by nearly all mammalian cells, have emerged as a fascinating area of focus. Their unique biological properties and therapeutic potential have placed them at the forefront of cancer...

Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite that causes severe malaria, employs complex immune evasion mechanisms. Recent studies have focused on immunoglobulin M (IgM) to reveal how the parasite hijacks host IgM to evade immune system attacks. This article explores the mechanism of IgM polymerization, its structural characteristics in different organisms, and the detailed process of how P....

Though the COVID-19 pandemic may have somewhat faded from the forefront of public attention, its enduring impact persists. Nations worldwide have grappled with recurring waves of infection over the past three years, despite many establishing immunity barriers. However, concerns about long COVID symptoms and the potential for recurrent infections persist, posing significant challenges to...

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as a significant breakthrough in cancer therapy, reshaping traditional treatment paradigms. PD-1/PD-L1 pathway inhibitors have been widely used across various cancer treatments, demonstrating impressive efficacy. As PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapies continue to mature, pharmaceutical giants have turned their attention to PD-(L)1...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) refers to tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body. These tests are used to detect diseases, conditions, or infections, providing critical information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Unlike in vivo diagnostics, IVD tests are conducted outside the living organism, often in controlled laboratory environments or at the...

As the global population ages and exposure to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) increases over time, the prevalence of cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease is projected to rise significantly without timely public health interventions. This highlights the urgent need to develop strategies that can accelerate the prevention and treatment of NASH. A critical barrier to progress in NASH...
