Olfactory receptor 2 in vascular macrophages drives atherosclerosis by NLRP3-dependent IL-1 production

Marco Orecchioni et al.

Summary: This study found that mouse vascular macrophages express the olfactory receptor Olfr2, which can detect and activate the inflammasome, leading to interleukin-1b secretion. It was also discovered that human and mouse blood plasma contains octanal, which can activate Olfr2 and its human ortholog OR6A2. Increasing octanal levels exacerbates atherosclerosis, while targeting Olfr2 gene significantly reduces atherosclerotic plaques. These findings suggest that inhibiting OR6A2 may be a promising strategy for preventing and treating atherosclerosis.

Synergism of TNF-α and IFN-γ Triggers Inflammatory Cell Death, Tissue Damage, and Mortality in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Cytokine Shock Syndromes

Rajendra Karki et al.

Summary: The combination of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma induces inflammatory cell death characterized by PANoptosis, which can be inhibited to protect mice from the pathological effects and death caused by COVID-19. Blocking the cytokine-mediated inflammatory cell death signaling pathway may benefit patients with COVID-19 or other infectious and autoinflammatory diseases by limiting tissue damage/inflammation.

Transcytosis in the development and morphogenesis of epithelial tissues

Nicholas D. Serra et al.

Summary: Transcytosis is a specialized form of transport where extracellular cargo is endocytosed, transported through the cytoplasm in vesicles, and secreted at a different plasma membrane surface. It allows membrane-impermeable macromolecules to pass through cells and become accessible to adjacent cells and tissues. Moreover, transcytosis also plays a role in redistributing plasma membrane proteins and lipids to different regions of the cell surface.

Effects of Surface Charge, PEGylation and Functionalization with Dipalmitoylphosphatidyldiglycerol on Liposome- Cell Interactions and Local Drug Delivery to Solid Tumors via Thermosensitive Liposomes

Matteo Petrini et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the potential of positively charged nanocarriers in targeting tumor-angiogenic endothelial cells. The absence of PEG in cationic TSLs promoted more efficient liposome-cell interactions and drug delivery. Dual-targeted cationic TSLs showed selective drug release in the intracellular compartment under hyperthermia, with optimal drug delivery demonstrated by DPPG(2)-based anionic TSL.
