New Insights Into the Pathogenesis and Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis The hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is erosive arthritis, an autoimmune disease that ultimately results in joint deformities and functional loss. It can also be complicated by pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, malignant tumors, and depression. The etiology of RA remains unclear. However, infections have been suggested as environmental triggers in as many as 20% of patients. Due to its perplexing... [more]

Decoding Cellular Signals: The Power of Phosphorylation Antibody Arrays in Modern Biology Inside every cell, complex communication networks are constantly at work. These systems—known as signaling pathways—allow cells to respond to changes in their environment, control growth, defend against threats, and carry out essential biological tasks. One of the key methods cells use to transmit signals is phosphorylation, a process where a phosphate group is added to a protein to change... [more]

From IgE to IgA: New Antibody Frontiers in Allergen Immunotherapy Allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis affect billions of people around the world, often reducing quality of life and straining healthcare systems. Traditional treatments—including antihistamines and corticosteroids—primarily aim to control symptoms, but they don’t address the underlying immune dysfunction that causes allergic reactions. This is where allergen immunotherapy (AIT) steps in,... [more]

Deciphering the Importance of Single-Cell Sequencing The term "single cell" refers to an individual cell, isolated and examined on its own. Analysis conducted specifically on individual cells is collectively referred to as single-cell sequencing analysis, while sequencing performed on these isolated cells is termed single-cell sequencing. Sequencing multiple cells or a group of cells falls outside the realm of single-cell sequencing. For instance, common genetic sequencing... [more]

Bispecific Antibodies: A Rising Force in Revolutionary Cancer Treatment In the realm of cancer therapy, immunotherapy has emerged as a beacon of hope, surpassing traditional methods. Monoclonal antibodies, renowned for their precision in targeting specific molecules, have played a crucial role in cancer treatment. However, their effectiveness is often limited by the complexities of tumor development when focusing on a single point. Enter bispecific antibodies (bsAbs), a transformative force... [more]

ADCC/CDC Enhancement in Therapeutic Antibody Development Therapeutic antibodies, engineered through biotechnology, represent a specialized class of antibodies used in disease treatment. These antibodies are designed to target specific disease markers, such as malignant tumors, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Compared to traditional antibody therapies, therapeutic antibodies offer higher specificity and fewer side effects. In the realm of immunotherapy, antibody-dependent... [more]

The cell membrane acts not only as a physical barrier but also as a functional organelle that regulates communication between cells and their environment. Functionalizing the cell membrane using synthetic molecules or nanostructures has the potential to enhance cellular functions beyond those achieved through natural evolution. Cell therapy represents a groundbreaking approach in treating major challenging diseases, including tissue injuries, degenerative diseases, and congenital metabolic... [more]
