Article Abstract
Prioritization of disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and drug targets in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) is complicated by altered interactions between thousands of genes. Our multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of a mouse IMID model, namely collagen-induced arthritis, shows highly complex and heterogeneous expression changes in all analyzed organs, even though only joints showed signs of inflammation. We organized those into a multi-organ multicellular disease model, which shows predicted molecular interactions within and between organs. That model supports that inflammation is switched on or off by altered balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory upstream regulators (URs) and downstream pathways. Meta-analyses of human IMIDs show a similar, but graded, on/off switch system. This system has the potential to prioritize, diagnose, and treat optimal combinations of URs on the levels of IMIDs, subgroups, and individual patients. That potential is supported by UR analyses in more than 600 sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

The immune evasion strategies and lifelong latency of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) present significant challenges for effective treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated that the commensal microbiota plays an important role in regulating immunity against viral infections. We previously reported that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) activates the expression of type I interferons (IFN-I) to inhibit HSV-2 infection.

Liver cirrhosis is a complex and progressive condition resulting from sustained liver injury and chronic inflammation. Characterized by extensive fibrosis, disrupted liver architecture, and impaired function, cirrhosis represents the end stage of many chronic liver diseases. While traditionally considered irreversible, emerging evidence suggests that targeted interventions may modify disease progression, offering new hope for patients.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST), as advanced omics technologies, have addressed critical challenges in liver transplantation (LT), the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease. This review aims to summarize the applications and future directions of scRNA-seq and ST in the context of LT. We highlight their role in uncovering immune cell heterogeneity and related injury mechanisms post-transplantation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly recognized as a condition shaped not only by central nervous system pathology but also by complex, bidirectional interactions between the gut, brain, and immune system. This review synthesizes emerging evidence on gut-brain-immune dysregulation in AD, with particular attention to how chronic stress, microbial imbalance, and neuroimmune signaling converge to influence disease risk and progression. We move beyond traditional microbiome-focused perspectives to incorporate non-microbial gut-derived mediators, including enteroendocrine hormones, bile acids, and vagal neuropeptides, which contribute to immune modulation, neurotransmission, and brain homeostasis.
