Chronic Kidney Disease: Strategies to Retard Progression.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as the presence of irreversible structural or functional kidney damages, increases the risk of poor outcomes due to its association with multiple complications, including altered mineral metabolism, anemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased cardiovascular events. The mainstay of treatments for CKD lies in the prevention of the development and progression of CKD as well as its complications. Due to the heterogeneous origins and the uncertainty in the pathogenesis of CKD, efficacious therapies for CKD remain challenging. In this review, we focus on the follo

Интеграция нанотехнологий в онкологию для передовых стратегий наночастиц в целевую диагностику и лечение рака.

Рак остается одной из основных глобальных проблем в области здравоохранения. Обычная терапия часто ограничивается низкой избирательностью опухолей, системной токсичностью, резистентностью к многочисленным лекарствам и неоптимальными фармакокинетиками. Нанотехнология предлагает преобразующий подход в онкологии. Она позволяет осуществлять целенаправленные поставки наркотиков, контролировать или стимулировать их высвобождение и использовать многофункциональные платформы, сочетающие в себе терапию и диагностику. Нанопчасти повышают растворимость наркотиков, продлевают циркуляцию и повышают внутрик

Tumor Biology Hides Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Narrative Review.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a malignancy of immense biological and clinical heterogeneity. Based on the transcriptomic or genomic approach, several different classification schemes have evolved over the years to subdivide DLBCL into clinically (prognostically) relevant subsets, but each leaves unclassified samples. Herein, we outline the DLBCL tumor biology behind the actual and potential drug targets and address the challenges and drawbacks coupled with their (potential) use. Therapeutic modalities are discussed, including small-molecule inhibitors, naked antibodies, antibody-dru

FDA-Approved Drugs for Hematological Malignancies-The Last Decade Review.

Hematological malignancies, also referred to as blood cancers, are a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth and persisting in the blood, lymph nodes, or bone marrow. The development of new targeted therapies including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, recombinant immunotoxins, and, finally, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells has improved the clinical outcomes for blood cancers. In this review, we summarized 52 drugs that were divided into small molecule and macromolecule agents, approved by the Food and Drug

This review provides a comprehensive picture of modern approaches to immunotherapy-based treatment strategies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptor T cells, mRNA vaccines, and biomaterials-based platforms, with a focus on their translational value and application to precision medicine. Emerging insights into the tumor microenvironment, immune resistance mechanisms, and T-cell subpopulation dynamics (e.g., γδ T cells, exhauste

Radionuclide-labelled nanoparticles for cancer combination therapy: a review.

Radionuclide therapy (RT) is widely used to advanced local cancers. However, its therapeutic efficacy is limited to the radiation resistance of cancer cells. Combination therapy aims to circumvent tumor resistance, and the combination of RT with photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy (CMT), and immunotherapy has shown promising treatment outcomes. Nanotechnology holds promise in advancing combination therapy by integrating multiple therapies on a nanostructure platform. This is due to the increased surface area, passive/active targeting capabilities, high payload

… Except active targeting, targeted specificity can also be achieved through magnetism, X-rays, heavy ions, neutrons, and ultrasound induction. The efficacy of combination therapy is not necessarily superior to single therapy. …

Mutual connected IL-6, EGFR and LIN28/Let7-related mechanisms modulate PD-L1 and IGF upregulation in HNSCC using immunotherapy

The development of techniques and immunotherapies are widely applied in cancer treatment such as checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, and cancer vaccines apart from radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy give enduring anti-tumor effects. Minority people utilize single-agent immunotherapy, and most people adopt multiple-agent immunotherapy. The difficulties are resolved by including the biomarkers to choose the non-responders’ and responders’ potentials. The possibility of the potential complications and side effects are examined to improve cancer therapy effects. The Head and Ne

Tumor Cell Survival Factors and Angiogenesis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: How Hot Is the Link?

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic CD5+/CD19+ B lymphocytes in the blood. These cells migrate to and proliferate in the bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. Despite the development of new therapies for CLL, drug resistance and disease relapse still occur; novel treatment approaches are therefore still needed. Inhibition of the angiogenesis involved in the progression of CLL might be a relevant therapeutic strategy. The literature data indicate that vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin-2, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are pro-angiogen

The 20th Anniversary of Pegaptanib (MacugenTM), the First Approved Aptamer Medicine: History, Recent Advances and Future Prospects of Aptamers in Therapy.

In addition to classic small-molecule drugs and modern protein-based biologics, an intriguing class of medicines is the therapeutic oligonucleotides. Most approved drugs in this category are antisense oligomers or those acting via RNA interference, both of which use base hybridization. Aptamers, also known as chemical antibodies form a smaller, yet equally interesting group of oligonucleotides that can recognize a wide range of molecular targets. Despite their high potential, only two aptamers have been approved to date, pegaptanib (MacugenTM) and avacincaptad pegol (IzervayTM), both for the t

Anti-Infective-Associated AKI: A Narrative Review of the Epidemiology, Mechanisms, Risk Factors, Biomarkers, Clinical Course, Monitoring, Prevention, and Therapeutic Strategies.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly in hospitalized patients, especially patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Medications are among the major causative factors of AKI. This narrative review addressed and updated different aspects of anti-infective-associated AKI, including amphotericin B, cidofovir, foscarnet, polymyxins, vancomycin, and aminoglycosides. There is no standard definition or operational criteria to describe anti-infective-associated AKI. Characteristically, it usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment and is typically dose dependent. Functional resolution o

Sex Differences in Cancer and Cardiotoxicity: Mechanisms, Outcomes, and Clinical Implications Across Solid and Hematological Malignancies.

Sex differences influence cancer incidence, treatment response, and susceptibility to cardiovascular toxicity. Males exhibit higher rates and poorer outcomes in most non-sex-specific cancers, while females more frequently experience treatment-related adverse events, including cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction. Biological factors such as hormonal status, genetic polymorphisms, immune responses, and pharmacokinetics contribute to these disparities. In cardio-oncology, women-particularly premenopausal or with specific genotypes-may be at increased risk for cardiotoxicity after treatment

The Gut-Bone Marrow Axis: Deciphering the Mechanistic Impact of Microbial Metabolites on Hematopoietic Homeostasis and Disorders.

The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as a dynamic endocrine-like microbial network that exerts systemic effects far beyond the gastrointestinal tract. Emerging evidence supports the existence of a "gut-bone marrow axis" through which gut-derived signals orchestrate hematopoietic homeostasis. However, shifting from correlative observations to causal mechanisms remains a major challenge in defining precise microbial impacts on hematopoietic outcomes. In this review, we systematically synthesize current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms by which microbial products-specifically short-

Marine Natural Products with Activities against Prostate Cancer: Recent Discoveries.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with over 52,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Diagnostics and early treatment are potentially hindered by variations in screening protocols, still largely reliant on serum levels of acid phosphatase and prostate-specific antigen, with tumour diagnosis and grading relying on histopathological examination. Current treatment interventions vary in terms of efficacy, cost and severity of side effects, and relapse can be aggressive and resistant to the current standard of care. For these reasons, the scientific community is looking for new chemoth

Cardiac amyloidosis: evolving pathogenesis, multimodal diagnostics, and principles of treatment.

Amyloidosis is a protein deposition disorder in which insoluble fibril structures accumulate in the bodily tissues damaging the organ function. Cardiac amyloidosis is a severe but under-reported medical condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid in the extracellular area of the myocardium, which results in thickening and stiffening of ventricular walls. Cardiac amyloidosis has recently gained much attention with its slowly surging incidence. With this study, we seek to comprehensively compile the pathophysiology and clinical picture of cardiac amyloidosis subtypes, extending a clin

T-Regulatory Cells In Tumor Progression And Therapy.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important members of the immune system regulating the host responses to infection and neoplasms. Tregs prevent autoimmune disorders by protecting the host-cells from an immune response, related to the peripheral tolerance. However, tumor cells use Tregs as a shield to protect themselves against anti-tumor immune response. Thus, Tregs are a hurdle in achieving the complete potential of anti-cancer therapies including immunotherapy. This has prompted the development of novel adjuvant therapies that obviate their negative effects thereby enhancing the therapeutic ef

The various therapeutic applications of the medical isotope holmium-166: a narrative review.

Over the years, a broad spectrum of applications of the radionuclide holmium-166 as a medical isotope has been established. The isotope holmium-166 is attractive as it emits high-energy beta radiation which can be used for a therapeutic effect and gamma radiation which can be used for nuclear imaging purposes. Furthermore, holmium-165 can be visualized by MRI because of its paramagnetic properties and by CT because of its high density. Since holmium-165 has a natural abundance of 100%, the only by-product is metastable holmium-166 and no costly chemical purification steps are necessary for pro

Cytokine-Engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy: How to Balance the Efficacy and Toxicity.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy has revolutionized the paradigm in hematological malignancies. However, its efficacy in treating solid tumors remains limited because the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) seriously blocks T cell activation, infiltration, and proliferation. Cytokines, driving potent assisted function by enhanced T cell expansion, persistence, and direct tumor cell killing, have long been acknowledged as promising candidates combined with CAR-T cells to improve treatment outcomes. Despite their preclinical success, significant toxicity occurs in
