Sclerosing diseases of the skin.

Sclerosing skin diseases comprise a group of distinct dermatological conditions characterized by fibrotic changes that may severely impair patients' quality of life. These conditions often present with cutaneous manifestations and, in some cases, may extend to extracutaneous tissues, potentially resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. This review explores the current understanding of the four most prevalent sclerosing skin diseases - localized scleroderma (morphea), systemic sclerosis (SSc), scleromyxedema, and scleredema adultorum of Buschke - as well as sclerotic conditions induced

The anti-inflammatory effects of mesenchymal stem cells and their research progress in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A comprehensive review.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is frequently accompanied by severe inflammation-related complications, among which graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) stands out as one of the most common and life-threatening. As a systemic inflammatory disorder, GVHD arises when donor T cells recognize the recipient's alloantigens and initiate an immune attack. Currently, effective second-line treatment options remain scarce for patients with antibiotic-resistant or steroid-refractory GVHD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic cells widely distributed in fetal and adult tissues and

Биоразлагаемый электроспун PLGA Nanofibers-Encapsolated Trichinella Sphiralis Antigens защищает от повторного использования экспериментального аутоиммунного энцефаломилита и связанного с ним микробиота дисбиоз.

ЦЕЛЬ: " Тричинелла спиралис " создала сложные механизмы иммуномодуляции при посредничестве экскременто-секретарских продуктов (ESL1), которые позволяют ей выжить в принимающей стране. Следовательно, антигены ESL1 обладают прекрасным потенциалом для лечения аутоиммунных заболеваний, таких, как множественный склероз (MS). Однако вопрос о том, могут ли своевременные контролируемые поставки антигенов ESL1 в vivo, как и в случае естественных инфекций, повысить его терапевтический потенциал в отношении MS, до сих пор неизвестен.Для этого мы ввели антигены ESL1 в полихлорированные (лактидно

Диет модернизирует терапевтическое воздействие диметилфумарата, поддерживаемого иммунометаболическим нейтрофильным рецептором HCAR2.

Монометилфумарат (ММФ) и его пронаркодиметилфумарат (ДМП) в настоящее время являются наиболее широко используемыми агентами для лечения множественных склерозов (МС). Однако не все пациенты получают помощь от ДМФ. Мы предположили, что переменная реакция пациентов может быть связана с их питанием. В поддержку этой гипотезы мыши, подвергшиеся экспериментальному аутоиммунальному энцефаломиэлиту (EAE), являющемуся моделью MS, не пользовались лечением DMF при питании богатой лауричной кислотой диетой. В противоположность этому, мыши на нормальном питании чау (NC) и даже мыши на рационе с высоким сод

Combination of MCL-1 and BCL-2 inhibitors is a promising approach for a host-directed therapy for tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) accounts for 1.6 million deaths annually and over 25% of deaths due to antimicrobial resistance. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) drives MCL-1 expression (family member of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins) to limit apoptosis and grow intracellularly in human macrophages. The feasibility of re-purposing specific MCL-1 and BCL-2 inhibitors to limit M.tb growth, using inhibitors that are in clinical trials and FDA-approved for cancer treatment has not be tested previously. We show that specifically inhibiting MCL-1 and BCL-2 induces apoptosis of M.tb-infected macrophages, and mark

Exploring the Influence of Oral and Gut Microbiota on Ulcerative Mucositis: A Pilot Cohort Study.

AIM: Comparing oral and gut microbiome profiles between patients with and without ulcerative mucositis during allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Specimens from oral mucosa, saliva, and stool were collected pre-(T0) and post- (T0 +28d ± 14d) aSCT (T1). Microbiome structure differences were analyzed by 16S-rRNA-gene sequencing, and associations to patients' clinical characteristics were investigated. RESULTS: Ten of 25 included patients developed ulcerations. The α-diversity decreased between T0 and T1, independent of ulcerations. PERMANOVA revealed differences

Ультрафиолетовое излучение и нейродегенерация: молекулярные механизмы, лежащие в основе двойного нейрозащитного и нейротоксичного воздействия.

Ультрафиолетовое излучение имеет сложную, зачастую противоречивую связь с риском/прогрессом нейродегенерации, охватывающую клинически диагностированные заболевания [Заболевания Паркинсона (PD), болезни Альцгеймера (AD), множественный склероз (MS) и амиотропический боковой склероз (ALS)] или промежуточные фенотипы (уменьшенный нейрогенесис, потеря гиппокампального объема). Цель этого обзора заключается в выявлении двойного воздействия УФ-излучения путем сбора и обобщения экспериментальных (доклинических и переводческих) данных, а также эпидемиологических данных.

The protective and chemotherapeutical role of amygdalin in induced mammary cancer in experimental mice and upregulation of related genes.

Breast cancer is a prominent health issue among oncological diseases in emerging nations. The study sought to assess the significant function of amygdalin as a protective and chemotherapeutical substance in combating this lethal condition, either independently or in conjunction with tamoxifen therapy. Breast cancer in mice was induced by 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Mice were divided into six groups, 15 mice in each group. (i) control group, (ii) carcinogenic group, (iii) tamoxifen-treated group, (iv) Amygdalin-treated group, (v) (Amygdalin + tamoxifen) group, (vi) Amygdalin protecti

Advances in Extracellular Matrix-Associated Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the common denominator of more than 50 chronic diseases. Some of these chronic pathologies lead to enhanced tissue formation and deposition, whereas others are associated with increased tissue degradation, and some exhibit a combination of both, leading to severe tissue alterations. To develop effective therapies for diseases affecting the lung, liver, kidney, skin, intestine, musculoskeletal system, heart, and solid tumors, we need to modulate the ECM's composition to restore its organization and function. Across diverse organ diseases, there are common denom

Aptamer Therapeutics in Cancer: Current and Future.

Aptamer-related technologies represent a revolutionary advancement in the capacity to rapidly develop new classes of targeting ligands. Structurally distinct RNA and DNA oligonucleotides, aptamers mimic small, protein-binding molecules and exhibit high binding affinity and selectivity. Although their molecular weight is relatively small-approximately one-tenth that of monoclonal antibodies-their complex tertiary folded structures create sufficient recognition surface area for tight interaction with target molecules. Additionally, unlike antibodies, aptamers can be readily chemically synthesize

BackgroundMETTL3 is an RNA methyltransferase that mediates m6A modification and is implicated in mRNA biogenesis, decay, and translation. However, the biomechanism through which METTL3 regulates MALAT1-miR-1914-3p-YAP axis activity to induce NSCLC drug resistance and metastasis is not very clear.MethodsThe expression of mRNA was analyzed by qPCR assays. Protein levels were analyzed by western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. Cellular proliferation was detected by CCK8 assays. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed by wound healing and transwell assays, respectively. Promoter activit

Green Tea Catechins for Prostate Cancer Prevention: Present Achievements and Future Challenges.

Green tea catechins (GTCs) are a family of chemically related compounds usually classified as antioxidant molecules. Epidemiological evidences, supported by interventional studies, highlighted a more than promising role for GTCs in human prostate cancer (PCa) chemoprevention. In the last decades, many efforts have been made to gain new insights into the mechanism of action of GTCs. Now it is clear that GTCs' anticancer action can no longer be simplistically limited to their direct antioxidant/pro-oxidant properties. Recent contributions to the advancement of knowledge in this field have shown

Application of Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment-The Current State of Knowledge.

Hyperthermia (HT) is an anti-cancer therapy commonly used with radio and chemotherapies based on applying heat (39-45 °C) to inhibit tumor growth. However, controlling heat towards tumors and not normal tissues is challenging. Therefore, nanoparticles (NPs) are used in HT to apply heat only to tumor tissues to induce DNA damage and the expression of heat shock proteins, which eventually result in apoptosis. The aim of this review article is to summarize recent advancements in HT with the use of magnetic NPs to locally increase temperature and promote cell death. In addition, the recent develop

Biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis: An Up-to-Date Overview

During the last decades, the effort of establishing satisfactory biomarkers for multiple sclerosis has been proven to be very difficult, due to the clinical and pathophysiological complexities of the disease. Recent knowledge acquired in the domains of genomics-immunogenetics and neuroimmunology, as well as the evolution in neuroimaging, has provided a whole new list of biomarkers. This variety, though, leads inevitably to confusion in the effort of decision making concerning strategic and individualized therapeutics. In this paper, our primary goal is to provide the reader with a list of the

Orthogonal targeting of osteoclasts and myeloma cells for radionuclide stimulated dynamic therapy induces multidimensional cell death pathways.

Rationale: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a multifocal malignancy of bone marrow plasma cells, characterized by vicious cycles of remission and relapse that eventually culminate in death. The disease remains mostly incurable largely due to the complex interactions between the bone microenvironment (BME) and MM cells (MMC). In the "vicious cycle" of bone disease, abnormal activation of osteoclasts (OCs) by MMC causes severe osteolysis, promotes immune evasion, and stimulates the growth of MMC. Disrupting these cancer-stroma interactions would enhance treatment response. Methods: To disrupt this cycle
