Article Abstract
Dendritic cells are cells of hematopoietic origin that are specialized in antigen presentation and instruction of innate and adaptive immune responses. They are a heterogenous group of cells populating lymphoid organs and most tissues. Dendritic cells are commonly separated in three main subsets that differ in their developmental paths, phenotype, and functions. Most studies on dendritic cells were done primarily in mice; therefore, in this chapter, we propose to summarize the current knowledge and recent progress on mouse dendritic cell subsets' development, phenotype, and functions.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a promising target in cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical translation of cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based STING agonists remains hindered by insufficient formation of functional CDN-STING complexes. This critical bottleneck arises from two interdependent barriers: inefficient cytosolic CDN delivery and tumor-specific STING silencing via DNA methyltransferase-mediated promoter hypermethylation.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in coordinating immune responses by linking innate and adaptive immunity through their exceptional antigen-presenting capabilities. Recent studies reveal that metabolic reprogramming-especially pathways involving acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)-critically influences DC function in both physiological and pathological contexts. This review consolidates current knowledge on how environmental factors, tumor-derived signals, and intrinsic metabolic pathways collectively regulate DC development, subset differentiation, and functional adaptability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma (OS) and offer hints regarding genetic factors for OS treatment using a bioinformatics method. This study processed 3 OS datasets from the gene expression omnibus database using R software, screening for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). After enrichment analysis, based on expression quantitative trait loci data and the genome-wide association study data of OS, Mendelian randomization analysis was used to screen the genes closely related to OS disease, which intersect with DEGs to obtain co-expressed genes, validation datasets were employed to verify the results.

Lower back pain caused by intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is a common problem among middle-aged and older adults. We aimed to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers of IDD and analyze the potential association between key genes and immune cell infiltration. We screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to IDD and gene sets associated with mitochondrial energy metabolism using the Gene Expression Omnibus and GeneCards databases, respectively.
