Pharmacological Therapies for the Management of Inflammatory Bone Resorption in Periodontal Disease: A Review of Preclinical Studies.

Periodontitis, a highly prevalent multicausal chronic inflammatory and destructive disease, develops as a result of complex host-parasite interactions. Dysbiotic bacterial biofilm in contact with the gingival tissues initiates a cascade of inflammatory events, mediated and modulated by the host's immune response, which is characterized by increased expression of several inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines in the connective tissue. If periodontal disease (PD) is left untreated, it results in the destruction of the supporting tissues around the teeth, including periodontal li

Chemotherapy-Mediated Complications of Wound Healing: An Understudied Side Effect.

Significance: Chemotherapy is a primary method to treat cancer. While chemotherapeutic drugs are designed to target rapidly dividing cancer cells, they can also affect other cell types. In the case of dermal cells and macrophages involved in wound healing, cytotoxicity often leads to the development of chronic wounds. The situation becomes even more severe when chemotherapy is combined with surgical tumor excision. Recent Advances: Despite its significant impact on patients' recovery from surgery, the issue of delayed wound healing in individuals undergoing chemotherapy remains inadequately ex

Reversing Autoimmunity Combination of Rituximab and Intravenous Immunoglobulin.

In this concept paper, the authors present a unique and novel protocol to treat autoimmune diseases that may have the potential to reverse autoimmunity. It uses a combination of B cell depletion therapy (BDT), specifically rituximab (RTX) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), based on a specifically designed protocol (Ahmed Protocol). Twelve infusions of RTX are given in 6-14 months. Once the CD20+ B cells are depleted from the peripheral blood, IVIg is given monthly until B cells repopulation occurs. Six additional cycles are given to end the protocol. During the stages of B cell depletion,

Established and Emerging Concepts to Treat Imbalances of Iron Homeostasis in Inflammatory Diseases.

Inflammation, being a hallmark of many chronic diseases, including cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic kidney disease, negatively affects iron homeostasis, leading to iron retention in macrophages of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Functional iron deficiency is the consequence, leading to anemia of inflammation (AI). Iron deficiency, regardless of anemia, has a detrimental impact on quality of life so that treatment is warranted. Therapeutic strategies include (1) resolution of the underlying disease, (2) iron supplementation, and (3) iron redistribution str

Interplay Between Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and Specific Inner Cellular Events That Suggest Combination Strategies for Overcoming PARP Inhibitor Resistance.

Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to durable cancer control, with functional reprogramming of the DNA damage response (DDR) network playing a central role. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family, particularly PARP1 and PARP2, is crucial for maintaining genomic integrity. By exploiting synthetic lethality, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) selectively target tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and are integral to precision therapy in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers. However, over 40% of patients with BRCA1/2 alterations develop resistance, and patient eligibil

Протекционный субъект PSMD1 является ключевой терапевтической целью в множестве миеломы.

Мы пришли к выводу, что PSMD1 - ключевой субъект протеиновой регуляционной частицы 19S - был чрезмерно экспрессирован и коррелировал с плохим прогнозом в множестве миеломы (ММ). Генетическое истощение PSMD1 снизило жизнеспособность раковых клеток, вызвало поликутилизированное накопление белка и способствовало апоптозу. Протеомический анализ показал активацию иммунных путей, что свидетельствует о потенциале иммунной модуляции. Нацеливание PSMD1 на незначительную поражающую РНК (SIRNA), доставляемую через липидные наночастицы (LNPs), уменьшило рост опухоли в линиях клеток MM и первичных проб пац
