Open DOI
Temperature extremes and autoimmune diseases
Temperature extremes linked to climate change are becoming more frequent and more intense. This has significant implications for human health, including conditions driven by immune dysregulation. There is growing evidence that external t...

Considering evolved heat tolerance helps predict the immunological consequences of climate change
Among the most damaging anticipated consequences of climate change are rising global temperatures that are expected to exceed the heat tolerance of many species worldwide. Species’ heat tolerance reflects adaptation to their historical e...

Non optimal temperatures and chronic cardiovascular diseases
Extreme temperatures are emerging as major climate-sensitive drivers of chronic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Global warming has increased the frequency, duration, and intensity of heatwaves, while substantial cold-related risk persists,...

Time to rethink prevention of neonatal group B streptococcal disease
Group B Streptococci (GBS) are both natural colonizers and important invasive pathogens in newborns. The introduction of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis has led to a significant decrease in the incidence of early onset sepsis. In cont...

Gut microbiota–immune–metabolic crosstalk in acute lung injury: integrating the gut–lung axis from mechanism to therapeutic targeting
The gut is increasingly recognized as a central immunological organ that orchestrates host immune responses and modulates distant mucosal sites, particularly the respiratory tract. In critical illness, disruption of intestinal barrier in...

Macrophage programming in systemic sclerosis: Niches, networks, and translational horizons
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, microvascular injury, and progressive fibrosis. Among the immune populations implicated in SSc, macrophages are increasingly recognized a...

The Lactate–lactylation circuitry in kidney fibrosis: cellular crosstalk from tubular metabolic reprogramming to macrophage effector functions
Kidney fibrosis is the histopathological endpoint of chronic kidney disease, yet antifibrotic trials targeting individual molecular nodes have repeatedly failed to translate into patient benefit. The pattern suggests that renal fibrosis ...
