Researchers in from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital have presented data from a study that investigated the role of immunoglobulin superfamily member 6 (IGSF6) microglia during ischemic stroke.
Researchers from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital reported findings from their evaluation of the role of NLR family CARD domain containing 5 (NLRC5) in post-stroke neuroinflammation. Immunofluorescence staining of mouse brains revealed that NLRC5 was mainly expressed in microglia.
While simultaneous targeting of PD-1 and TGF-β has been previously suggested to be a favorable strategy to reverse immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance of tumors, the hydrophobicity of TGF-β inhibitors and latent drug-related adverse events of this treatment hindered its utility.
