    Neuronal NPR-15 modulates molecular and behavioral immune responses via the amphid sensory neuron-intestinal axis in C. elegans

    Benson Otarigho, Anna Frances Butts, Alejandro Aballay
    Molecular and genetics approaches reveal a dual regulatory role of neuronal G-protein-coupled receptor NPR-15 in both immunity and avoidance behavior, independent of aerotaxis, mediated by amphid sensory neurons, ASJ.

    Leucine alleviates cytokine storm syndrome by regulating macrophage polarization via the mTORC1/LXRα signaling pathway

    Hui Yan, Yao Liu ... Daiwen Chen
    Bone marrow-derived macrophages reveal that leucine promotes M2 polarization through mTORC1/LXRα/Arg1 signaling pathway, establishing a fundamental link between metabolism and immunity.
