A year in pharmacology: new drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2021.

The second year of the COVID-19 pandemic had no adverse effect on the number of new drug approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Quite the contrary, with a total of 50 new drugs, 2021 belongs to the most successful FDA years. We assign these new drugs to one of three levels of innovation: (1) first drug against a condition ("first-in-indication"), (2) first drug using a novel molecular mechanism ("first-in-class"), and (3) "next-in-class", i.e., a drug using an already exploited molecular mechanism. We identify 21 first-in-class, 28 next-in-class, and only one first-in-indicati

Molecular Mechanism and Prevention Strategy of Chemotherapy- and Radiotherapy-Induced Ovarian Damage.

Fertility preservation is an emerging discipline, which is of substantial clinical value in the care of young patients with cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation may induce ovarian damage in prepubertal girls and young women. Although many studies have explored the mechanisms implicated in ovarian toxicity during cancer treatment, its molecular pathophysiology is not fully understood. Chemotherapy may accelerate follicular apoptosis and follicle reservoir utilization and damage the ovarian stroma via multiple molecular reactions. Oxidative stress and the radiosensitivity of oocytes are the main c

Navigating the landscape of protein folding and proteostasis: from molecular chaperones to therapeutic innovations.

Protein folding is a fundamental process ensuring that polypeptide chains acquire the correct three-dimensional structures required for biological function. This complex journey from nascent polypeptides to mature proteins is tightly regulated by the cellular proteostasis network-an integrated system of molecular chaperones, folding enzymes, and degradation machineries. Disruptions in this network lead to dysproteostasis, a pathological state implicated in a growing list of human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cancer. In this review, we provide a comp

Emerging and underexplored ginsenosides in cancer therapy (2020-2025): Beyond cytotoxic mechanisms.

Ginsenosides from Panax plants have long been studied as potential anticancer agents. In earlier years, most research focused on a few well-known ginsenosides that showed strong direct cytotoxicity, such as Rg3 and Rh2. As a result, many other ginsenosides were considered less active and received limited attention. However, studies published between 2020 and 2025 indicate that several previously underexplored ginsenosides also exhibit meaningful anticancer activity. These compounds often do not function as strongly cytotoxic agents. Instead, they act through broader and more indirect mechanism

Neutrophil extracellular traps in homeostasis and disease.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), crucial in immune defense mechanisms, are renowned for their propensity to expel decondensed chromatin embedded with inflammatory proteins. Our comprehension of NETs in pathogen clearance, immune regulation and disease pathogenesis, has grown significantly in recent years. NETs are not only pivotal in the context of infections but also exhibit significant involvement in sterile inflammation. Evidence suggests that excessive accumulation of NETs can result in vessel occlusion, tissue damage, and prolonged inflammatory responses, thereby contributing to the

Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Weakness: Not just Another Muscle Atrophying Condition.

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) occurs in critically ill patients stemming from the critical illness itself, and results in sustained disability long after the ICU stay. Weakness can be attributed to muscle wasting, impaired contractility, neuropathy, and major pathways associated with muscle protein degradation such as the ubiquitin proteasome system and dysregulated autophagy. Furthermore, it is characterized by the preferential loss of myosin, a distinct feature of the condition. While many risk factors for ICUAW have been identified, effective interventions to offset these ch

The Role of Circulating MicroRNAs as Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Venous Thromboembolism: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major cardiovascular disorder and a leading cause of vascular mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to the target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), inducing mRNA degradation or translational repression. miRNA dysregulation likely contributes to VTE pathogenesis. This review comprehensively summarizes current evidence on miRNAs in VTE, offering a structured overview of the existing literature. Mate

Cannabidiol on the Path from the Lab to the Cancer Patient: Opportunities and Challenges.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a major non-psychotropic component of cannabis, is receiving growing attention as a potential anticancer agent. CBD suppresses the development of cancer in both in vitro (cancer cell culture) and in vivo (xenografts in immunodeficient mice) models. For critical evaluation of the advances of CBD on its path from laboratory research to practical application, in this review, we wish to call the attention of scientists and clinicians to the following issues: (a) the biological effects of CBD in cancer and healthy cells; (b) the anticancer effects of CBD in animal models and clin

Exosomes in oncofertility: emerging roles in chemotherapy-induced reproductive damage and fertility preservation.

ABSTRACT: Oncofertility has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field addressing the reproductive challenges faced by cancer patients, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy. While chemotherapeutic agents remain indispensable in cancer therapy, their gonadotoxic effects frequently result in diminished ovarian reserve, impaired spermatogenesis, and long-term infertility. Exosomes - small extracellular vesicles enriched with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids - are increasingly recognized as key mediators of intercellular communication in both pathological and regenerative contexts.

Hepatocellular carcinoma stem cells: the current state of small molecule-based inhibitors.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for over 90% of all cases. Patients with advanced-stage HCC are referred to systemic treatment. Although some advances in HCC therapy have been made in recent years, the prognosis for patients remains poor due to drug resistance, tumor relapse, and metastasis, implying that overall survival remains a challenge. Many studies have shown that tumor-initiating stem cells, also known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), play essential roles in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and treatment resistance in HCC and that future cancer
