Article Abstract
Methamphetamine (METH) use disorder (MUD) is characterized by compulsive drug-seeking behavior and substantial neurotoxicity, posing a considerable burden on individuals and society. Traditionally perceived as a localized central nervous system disorder, recent preclinical and clinical studies have elucidated that MUD is a multifaceted disorder influenced by various biological systems, particularly the immune system. Emerging evidence suggests that both central and peripheral immune responses play a crucial role in the initiation and persistence of MUD. Conceptualizing it as a systemic immune process prompts significant inquiries regarding the mechanisms of communication between peripheral and central compartments. Also, whether this intercommunication could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets. This review begins by offering an overview of mechanistic studies pertaining to the neuroimmune and peripheral immune systems. Finally, future directions are suggested through the integration of innovative technologies and multidimensional data to promote the translation of basic mechanistic research into clinical diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Neurotoxicity is a common and potentially severe adverse effect from conventional and novel cancer therapy. The mechanisms that underlie clinical symptoms of central and peripheral nervous system injury remain incompletely understood. For conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy, direct toxicities to brain structures and neurovascular damage may result in myelin degradation and impaired neurogenesis, which eventually translates into delayed neurodegeneration accompanied by cognitive symptoms.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammatory demyelination and progressive neurodegeneration. Although current disease-modifying therapies modulate peripheral autoimmune responses, they are insufficient to fully prevent tissue specific neuroinflammation and long-term neuronal and oligodendrocyte loss. Growing evidence implicates various regulated cell death (RCD) pathways, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, not only as downstream consequences of chronic inflammation, but also as active drivers of demyelination, axonal injury, and glial dysfunction in MS.

Study Question: What is the direct effect of mumps virus (MuV) replication within the human testis on the tissue innate immune responses and testicular cell functions?
Summary Answer: MuV induces an early pro-inflammatory response in the human testis ex vivo and infects both Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, which drastically alters testosterone and inhibin B production.
What Is Known Already: Despite widespread vaccination efforts, orchitis remains a significant complication of MuV infection, especially in young men, which potentially results in infertility in up to 87% of patients with bilateral orchitis. Our understanding of MuV pathogenesis in the human testis has been limited by the lack of relevant animal models, impairing the development of effective treatments.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the peripheral joints while also causing extra-articular complications. Adults with RA show premature aging of the immune system (immunosenescence). Here, we investigated whether senescence T-cell markers and inflammaging remain elevated in older adults with RA.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently invades the portal vein, leading to early recurrence and a poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying this invasion remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to detect portal vein circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using a Glypican-3-positive detection method and evaluate their prognostic significance.
