Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant neoplasm originating from the epithelial cells of gastric mucosa. The pathogenesis GC intricately linked to tumor microenvironment within which reside. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) primarily differentiate peripheral blood monocytes and can be broadly categorized into M1 M2 subtypes. M2-type TAMs have been shown promote growth, tissue remodeling, angiogenesis. Furthermore, they actively suppress acquired immunity, leading poorer prognosis reduced tolerance chemotherapy. Exosomes, contain myriad biologically active molecules including lipids, proteins, mRNA, noncoding RNAs, emerged as key mediators communication between TAMs. exchange these via exosomes markedly influence consequently impact progression. Recent studies elucidated correlation various clinicopathological parameters GC, such size, differentiation, infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, highlighting pivotal role in development metastasis. In this review, we aim comprehensively examine bidirectional TAMs, implications alterations on immune escape, invasion, metastasis targeted therapeutic approaches for efficacy potential drug resistance strategies.

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived with a phospholipid bilayer measuring 50–150 nm in diameter demonstrated therapeutic potentials. Limitations such as the natural biodistribution (mainly concentrated liver and spleen) short plasma half-life of EVs present significant challenges to their clinical translation. In recent years, growing research indicated that engineered enhanced targeting lesion sites have markedly promoted efficacy. However, there is dearth systematic knowledge on advances engineering for targeted delivery. Herein, we provide an overview mechanisms, techniques, translations applications. Enrichment at may be achieved through recognition tissue markers, pathological changes, circumvention mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Alternatively, external stimuli, including magnetic fields ultrasound, also employed. EV techniques fulfill functions includes genetic engineering, membrane fusion, chemical modification physical modification. A comparative statistical analysis was conducted elucidate discrepancies between diverse size, morphology, stability, efficacy vitro vivo. Additionally, summary registered trials utilizing from 2010 2023 has been provided, full discussion perspectives.

Aim: While cardiometabolic disorders and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) frequently coexist, the genetic connections causes are not clearly understood. This study aimed to explore their shared architecture elucidate mechanisms driving comorbidity. Methods: Using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on MASLD 29 traits (CMTs), we assessed correlation causality, identified loci, genes, pathways, cell types, tissues. Additionally, biological were uncovered using single-cell RNA sequencing data. Results: Significant correlations detected between 17 CMTs, encompassing diseases, glucose, lipids, adiposity, inflammatory markers, after adjusting for multiple testing (p .adjust < 0.05). Cross-trait analysis yielded a total of 166 risk SNPs (including those located in or near TRIB1 , LPL PNPLA3 GCKR PPARG ). Subsequent colocalization highlighted 73 loci associated with both rs429358 (APOE ) consistently prioritized HyPrColoc. Common genes (such as NPC1 MST1R TMBIM1 IRAK1BP1 L3MBTL3 RBM6 RGS19 ), significant enrichment cholesterol metabolism, glucose immune inflammation, long-term depression. Shared tissue-specific heritability was liver, adipose, artery, adrenal gland, brain tissue. Moreover, observed specific types (epicardial adipocytes, erythroid progenitor cells, hepatocytes, glial macrophages, monocytes, myeloid cells). The expressions APOE which showed significantly altered macrophages patients compared controls. Causality potential medications also explored.
