Article Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells that initiate and regulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Solute carrier (SLC) transporters mediate diverse physiological functions and maintain cellular metabolite homeostasis. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of SLCs in immune processes. Notably, upon activation, immune cells undergo rapid and robust metabolic reprogramming, largely dependent on SLCs to modulate diverse immunological responses. In this review, we explore the central roles of SLC proteins and their transported substrates in shaping DC functions. We provide a comprehensive overview of recent studies on amino acid transporters, metal ion transporters, and glucose transporters, emphasizing their essential contributions to DC homeostasis under varying pathological conditions. Finally, we propose potential strategies for targeting SLCs in DCs to bolster immunotherapy for a spectrum of human diseases.

In recent years, light-controlled ion transport systems have attracted widespread attention, however, the use of photoresponsive materials suffers from rapid carrier recombination, thermal field limitations, and narrow spectral response, which significantly restricts their performance enhancement in osmotic energy conversion. This study innovatively couples "blue energy" (osmotic energy) with "green energy" (solar energy), assembling graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide/sulfonated cellulose nanocrystal (GO/ MoS/CNC) ion-channel membranes. Under solar irradiation, the energy level difference between MoS and GO effectively suppresses the recombination of photogenerated carriers, generating more active electrons and significantly enhancing the carrier density, thereby improving the current flux and ion selectivity.

Ultra-sensitive pH-responsive drug delivery system designed to operate within the slightly acidic microenvironment of tumors are highly desired for hydrogel applications in cancer therapy. In this study, 4-Formylbenzoic acid modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-FBA, PF) was synthesized and utilized as a carrier for encapsulating the anticancer drug Doxorubicin (Dox). This was subsequently crosslinked with polyethylenimine (PEI) via benzoic-imine bond to form drug-loaded PVA-FBA/PEI hydrogel (D-PFP).

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a type of diabetes mellitus occurring in pregnant women, increases the risk of birth trauma. Solute carrier family 2 member 4 (SLC2A4) polymorphism is notably associated with GDM susceptibility; however, the mechanism is unknown. In the present study, HTR-8/SVneo cells were treated with high glucose concentrations and transfected with SLC2A4 and Forkhead box O (FoxO)1 to investigate their roles in the insulin (INS) resistance of GDM trophoblast cells.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a prevalent complication following radiotherapy for head and neck tumors, and its effective therapeutic strategies are lacking. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, has recently emerged as an important mechanism of radiation-induced cell death. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive neuro-interventional technique with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
