    Atmospheric particulate matter aggravates CNS demyelination through involvement of TLR-4/NF-kB signaling and microglial activation

    Bing Han, Xing Li ... Yuan Zhang
    An atmospheric trigger, the respirable particulate matter boost microglia pathogenic activities in the context of CNS demyelination by activating TLR-4/NF-kB signaling axis in animal models of immune- and toxicity-induced demyelination, as well as myelinogenesis during postnatal development.

    A novel triptolide analog downregulates NF-κB and induces mitochondrial apoptosis pathways in human pancreatic cancer

    Qiaomu Tian, Peng Zhang ... Anita S Chong
    CK21 emerges as a compelling candidate for pancreatic cancer treatment, and its capacity to target the NF-κB pathway, induce mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, and do so with minimal toxicity is a significant stride in the quest for improved therapies.

    Neuronal NPR-15 modulates molecular and behavioral immune responses via the amphid sensory neuron-intestinal axis in C. elegans

    Benson Otarigho, Anna Frances Butts, Alejandro Aballay
    Molecular and genetics approaches reveal a dual regulatory role of neuronal G-protein-coupled receptor NPR-15 in both immunity and avoidance behavior, independent of aerotaxis, mediated by amphid sensory neurons, ASJ.

    Multivesicular bodies mediate long-range retrograde NGF-TrkA signaling

    Mengchen Ye, Kathryn M Lehigh, David D Ginty
    Multivesicular bodies deliver long-range retrograde nerve growth factor (NGF) signals and serve as essential signaling and sorting platforms in the cell soma, and multivesicular body (MVB) cargoes dictate their vesicular fate.
