Endothelial activation and stress index is a reliable predictor for the prevalence and mortality outcomes of stroke.

The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) can predict endothelial intricacies as well as survival in distinct clinical circumstances. Accordingly, we hypothesize that EASIX may also serve as a predictor for stroke prevalence and mortality outcomes-all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) due to stroke. To validate our hypothesis, we deployed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. This cohort study employed 1999-2018 NHANES data. To evaluate EASIX effects on stroke risk, weighted logistic regression models were deployed. Meanwhile, we utilized t

Patient-Derived Organoids Can Guide Personalized-Therapies for Patients with Advanced Breast Cancer.

Most breast cancers at an advanced stage exhibit an aggressive nature, and there is a lack of effective anticancer options. Herein, the development of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) is described as a real-time platform to explore the feasibility of tailored treatment for refractory breast cancers. PDOs are successfully generated from breast cancer tissues, including heavily treated specimens. The microtubule-targeting drug-sensitive response signatures of PDOs predict improved distant relapse-free survival for invasive breast cancers treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. It is further demonstr

Endoplasmic reticulum stress in disease pathogenesis: its implications for therapy.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key cellular mechanism that is important in the development of many diseases, including cancer. Since the discovery of the unfolded protein response (UPR), research has greatly improved our understanding of how ER stress affects cellular functions, especially protein folding and adaptation to stress. The UPR consists of three main branches: IRE1, ATF6, and PERK, each of which is crucial for regulating stress responses, protein homeostasis, and apoptosis. These pathways normally help cells handle stress effectively; however, excessive or prolonged activati

Oncolytic myxoma virus and engineering strategies for advanced cancer immunotherapy.

In cancer immunotherapy, oncolytic viruses (OVs) offer an alternative approach to kill malignant cells by inducing cancer-specific host immune system activation. Given the ongoing need for safe and effective viral vectors for immunotherapy, non-zoonotic animal viruses have attracted significant interest. Here, we review the oncolytic myxoma virus (MYXV) and emphasize its emerging role in cancer immunotherapy. We critically discuss recent advances in cancer therapy using MYXV, primarily focused on engineered viral modifications. Furthermore, we briefly review alternative delivery strategies for

Integrative Hematology: State of the Art.

Blood cancers are a group of diseases with thus far frequently poor prognosis. Although many new drugs, including target therapies, have been developed in recent years, there is still a need to expand our therapeutic armamentarium to better deal with these diseases. Integrative hematology was conceived as a discipline that enriches the patient's therapeutic possibilities with the use of supplements, vitamins and a nutritional approach aiming at improving the response to therapies and the clinical outcome. We will analyze the substances that have proved most useful in preclinical and clinical s

PIWI-interacting RNAs (PiRNAs) as emerging biomarkers and therapeutic targets in biliary tract cancers: A comprehensive review.

Cancers affecting the biliary tract, such as gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, make up a small percentage of adult gastrointestinal malignancies, but their incidence is on the rise. Due to the lack of dependable molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, these cancers are often not detected until later stages and have limited treatment options. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a type of small noncoding RNA that interacts with Piwi proteins and has been linked to various diseases, especially cancer. Manipulation of piRNA expression has the potential to serve as an important bi

Therapeutic Potential of Chlorogenic Acid in Chemoresistance and Chemoprotection in Cancer Treatment.

Chemotherapeutic drugs are indispensable in cancer treatment, but their effectiveness is often lessened because of non-selective toxicity to healthy tissues, which triggers inflammatory pathways that are harmful to vital organs. In addition, tumors' resistance to drugs causes failures in treatment. Chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic acid, CGA), found in plants and vegetables, is promising in anticancer mechanisms. In vitro and animal studies have indicated that CGA can overcome resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics and alleviate chemotherapy-induced toxicity by scavenging free radicals

Antibiotic-Free Gene Vectors: A 25-Year Journey to Clinical Trials.

Until very recently, the major use, for gene therapy, specifically of linear or circular DNA, such as plasmids, was as ancillary products for viral vectors' production or as a genetic template for mRNA production. Thanks to targeted and more efficient physical or chemical delivery techniques and to the refinement of their structure, non-viral plasmid DNA are now under intensive consideration as pharmaceutical drugs. Plasmids traditionally carry an antibiotic resistance gene for providing the selection pressure necessary for maintenance in a bacterial host. Nearly a dozen different antibiotic-f
