The central nervous system was previsouly assumed as the major “culprit” behind depression and anxiety. Little attention was paid to the role that other organs played in this process. Recently, researchers from the JIN Jin Lab at the Zhejiang University Life Sciences Institute found that physical stress-induced leukotriene B4 triggers severe mitochondrial fission in CD4+ T cells, which further leads to a variety of behavioral abnormalities including anxiety, depression, and soci...

The ability of animal cells to sense and adapt to oxygen availability is essential for life activities. William G. Kaelin Jr., Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza are awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. Mitochondria are the most crucial oxygen-consuming organelles in cells and are also the core sites of cell metabolism, providing sufficient energy and substances for cells. Due to the rapid grow...

China has the highest incidence of liver cancer in the world. For patients with early liver cancer, surgery is the optimal treatment, but most patients are diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and thus miss the opportunity for surgery. Due to the limitations of targeted drugs Sorafenib and Regorafenib, the immune “brake-point” drug represented by the anti-PD-1/PD-L1 axis holds promise for curing patients with advanced liver cancer. At present, Opdivo (Nivolumab), a drug for the PD-L1/PD-1 axis...

Immunotherapy, as one of the most promising cancer treatments, boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer by activating T cells. T-cell receptors (TCRs) on T cell surface specifically and sensitively recognize rare foreign antigen or tumor neoantigen presented by major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs) on cancer cells, which plays a vital role in recognizing and killing cancer cells. However, it still remains enigmatic that how to improve and control the efficiency of T cell killing in ...
