Article Abstract

The complement system is crucial for maintaining immunological homeostasis in the liver, playing a significant role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Dysregulation of this system is closely linked to the pathogenesis of various liver diseases. Modulating the complement system can affect the progression of these conditions. To provide insights into treating liver injury by targeting the regulation of the complement system, we conducted a comprehensive search of major biomedical databases, including MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science, to identify articles on complement and liver injury and reviewed the functions and mechanisms of the complement system in liver injury.

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.

Durotaxis, cell migration along stiffness gradients, is linked to embryonic development, tissue repair and disease. Despite solid in vitro evidence, its role in vivo remains largely speculative. Here we demonstrate that durotaxis actively drives disease progression in vivo in mouse models of lung fibrosis and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Type 1 regulatory cells suppress T-cell cytotoxicity to alleviate liver injury during acute hepatitis B virus infection in mice.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exclusively infects hepatocytes and produces large quantities of subviral particles containing its surface antigen (HBsAg). T cells play a central role in controlling HBV infection but can also mediate liver injury and contribute to disease progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate T-cell responses to eliminate the virus without causing immunopathology during acute HBV infection remain poorly defined.

Introduction: Duodenal injuries occur in significant number of patients after abdominal trauma. Though most, 75 %, occur after penetrating mechanism of injury the remaining occur after blunt trauma and these are the commonly missed cases unless high index of suspicion is maintained. Here we presented a case of isolated retroperitoneal duodenal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma with a delayed diagnosis and management.

Cholestasis is a pathological state characterized by the dysfunction of bile acid flow, which could lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure, but its therapeutic agents are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanism of melatonin on cholestatic liver injury. C57BL/6 J mice were fed with 0.
