Whole-genome sequencing of East Asian lung cancers reveals new germline pathogenic variants

Semanti Mukherjee et al.

Summary: In this study, Wang et al. used whole-genome sequencing to comprehensively analyze common and rare variants associated with lung cancer risk in individuals with East Asian ancestry. Their findings suggest that rare promoter variants in the BRCA2 gene are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.

Erythropoietin protects the inner blood-retinal barrier by inhibiting microglia phagocytosis via Src/Akt/cofilin signalling in experimental diabetic retinopathy

Hai Xie et al.

Summary: In experimental diabetic retinopathy, activated microglia penetrate the basement membrane of the iBRB and engulf endothelial cells, leading to iBRB breakdown. EPO exerts a protective effect that preserves iBRB integrity via activation of Src/Akt/cofilin signaling in microglia, as demonstrated in vitro.

The phase changes of M1/M2 phenotype of microglia/macrophage following oxygen-induced retinopathy in mice

Jia Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role and regulatory mechanism of M1/M2 microglia/macrophage in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). The results showed that M1 microglia/macrophage were activated in neovascularization tufts in both central and peripheral retina during the early phase of OIR, while M2 phenotype took over during the late phase, leading to the regression of neovascular tufts.

Retinal microglia polarization in diabetic retinopathy

Xin Li et al.

Summary: Microglia, especially retinal microglial cells, play crucial roles in diabetic retinopathy, contributing to neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Understanding their polarization and regulatory factors in early DR can offer new insights for early intervention.

Melatonin maintains inner blood-retinal barrier via inhibition of p38/TXNIP/NF-κB pathway in diabetic retinopathy

Lei Tang et al.

Summary: Melatonin has protective effects on the inner blood-retinal barrier in diabetic retinopathy by regulating the expression of inflammatory factors and tight junction proteins. This study provides insights into the development of melatonin-based therapy for diabetic retinopathy.
