Abstract
Lipid metabolism is central to host defense by supporting and modulating immune cell function. Immune signaling pathways control anabolic lipid processes to drive membrane synthesis and produce bioactive lipid mediators during activation. In turn, metabolic states profoundly influence immune signaling, particularly during the resolution of inflammation. Emerging evidence highlights a dynamic interplay between lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. A striking example is the intrinsic lipoprotein system of the central nervous system, which undergoes profound changes during pathology, with lipoproteins serving not only in lipid transport but also as immune modulators and as contributors to disease tolerance. Importantly, major neurodegenerative diseases are genetically linked to disruptions in lipid metabolism. Deciphering this complex cross talk may provide opportunities for novel therapies targeting neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.
期刊介绍：
Since its establishment in 1896, the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM) has steadfastly pursued the publication of enduring and exceptional studies in medical biology. In an era where numerous publishing groups are introducing specialized journals, we recognize the importance of offering a distinguished platform for studies that seamlessly integrate various disciplines within the pathogenesis field.
Our unique editorial system, driven by a commitment to exceptional author service, involves two collaborative groups of editors: professional editors with robust scientific backgrounds and full-time practicing scientists. Each paper undergoes evaluation by at least one editor from both groups before external review. Weekly editorial meetings facilitate comprehensive discussions on papers, incorporating external referee comments, and ensure swift decisions without unnecessary demands for extensive revisions.
Encompassing human studies and diverse in vivo experimental models of human disease, our focus within medical biology spans genetics, inflammation, immunity, infectious disease, cancer, vascular biology, metabolic disorders, neuroscience, and stem cell biology. We eagerly welcome reports ranging from atomic-level analyses to clinical interventions that unveil new mechanistic insights.
