Smart Targeting To Improve Cancer Therapeutics.

Cancer is the second largest cause of death worldwide with the number of new cancer cases predicted to grow significantly in the next decades. Biotechnology and medicine can and should work hand-in-hand to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment efficacy. However, success has been frequently limited, in particular when treating late-stage solid tumors. There still is the need to develop smart and synergistic therapeutic approaches to achieve the synthesis of strong and effective drugs and delivery systems. Much interest has been paid to the development of smart drug delivery systems (drug-loade

Автономная гематопоэтическая трансплантация уменьшает воспаление мозга и аксоглиальные повреждения биомаркеров при множественном склерозе.

Аутологическая трансплантация стволовых клеток (AHSCT) может вызвать долгосрочную иммунную терпимость и остроту болезней у пациентов с сильным множественным склерозом (MS), однако основные механизмы не вполне понятны. Мы гипотезуем, что AHSCT вызовет постоянное снижение в провокационных цитокинах, хемокинах и аксолиальных повреждениях биомаркеров в сыворотке и CSF.МЕТОДЫ: Продольная сыворотка и пробы CSF были получены из 24 :: участники процесса по делу HALT-MS с сильными MS, проходящими через AHSCT ( < < AHSCT > > )NCT00288626), с сывороткой, собираемой в 9 период времени с момент

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: Heterogeneity, Cancer Pathogenesis, and Therapeutic Targets.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are functionally diverse stromal regulators that orchestrate tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance through dynamic crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent advances in single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics have identified conserved CAF subtypes with distinct molecular signatures, spatial distributions, and context-dependent roles, highlighting their dual capacity to promote immunosuppression or restrain tumor growth. However, therapeutic strategies struggle to reconcile this functional duality, hindering clinica

The potential of dibenzazepine carboxamides in cancer therapy.

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with most conventional treatments lacking efficacy and having significant challenges like drug resistance. Finding new molecules is quite challenging in terms of cost, time and setbacks. Hence, drug repurposing is considered sensible for skipping the long process of drug development. Dibenzazepine carboxamides, as traditional anticonvulsants, primarily function by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, which not only mitigate seizures but also influence mood disorders through modulation of serotonin and dopamine. Recent studies have uncovered

Promising Experimental Treatments for Lupus Nephritis: Key Talking Points and Potential Opportunities.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent and serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), impairing patients' quality of life and significantly increasing mortality. Despite optimizing the use of conventional immunosuppressants and other biological drugs, its management remains unsatisfactory. This is mainly due to the heterogeneity of SLE, but also to insufficiently effective treatment regimens and clinical trial limitations (strict criteria, low number of patients included, and side effects). Most clinical trials of new biological therapies have failed to meet their primary endpoint

BackgroundHead and neck squamous cancer (HNSCC) presents variable phenotype and progression features. Clinically applicable, high-accuracy multifactorial prognostic models for HNSCC survival outcomes are warranted and an active area of research. This study aimed to construct a comprehensive prognostic tool for HNSCC overall survival by integrating cancer driver genes with tumor clinical and phenotype information.MethodsKey overall survival-related cancer driver genes were screened from among main effector and reciprocal gene pairs using TCGA data using univariate Cox proportional hazard regres

Dissecting Bone Marrow Fibrosis in Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Multiple Roads Lead to Rome.

Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), a spectrum of blood malignancies characterized by uncontrolled myeloid proliferation, persist as a key challenge in onco-hematology due to their intricate molecular background, heterogeneous clinical phenotypes, and variable prognoses. Although generally accepted as indolent disorders, a considerable fraction of MPN patients exhibit progressive, and sometimes accelerated, bone marrow fibrosis, reflecting a critical shift toward a more debilitating condition marked by an increased symptom burden. As marrow scarring advances, hematopoieti

The Ups and Downs of STAT Inhibition in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Aberrant Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a highly heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancy. The management of AML is complex and despite impressive efforts into better understanding its underlying molecular mechanisms, survival rates in the elderly have not shown a substantial improvement over the past decades. This is particularly due to the heterogeneity of AML and the need for personalized approaches. Due to the crucial role of the deregulated JAK-STAT signaling in AML, select

A ceRNA regulatory network in systemic lupus erythematosus and its molecular interplay with cancer.

BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease defined by the production of autoantibodies and involves multiple organs and systems. Although there are reports on SLE, data on its pathogenesis is limited.MethodsUsing R language software, we constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. We then utilized the Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes (STRING) and cytoHubba databases to generate a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, which led to the identification of hub genes. The top two hub genes with the highest Maximal Clique Centrality

Polymorphisms in CXCR3 ligands predict early CXCL9 recovery and severe chronic GVHD.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). The individual risk of severe cGVHD remains difficult to predict and may involve CXCR3 ligands. This study investigated the role of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CXCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and their day +28 serum levels, in cGVHD pathogenesis. Eighteen CXCR3 and CXCL4, CXCL9-11 SNPs as well as peri-transplant CXCL9-11 serum levels were analyzed in 688 patients without (training cohort; n = 287) or with statin-based endothelial protection

Optimisation of anti-interleukin-6 therapy: Precision medicine through mathematical modelling.

BackgroundDysregulated interleukin (IL)-6 production can be characterised by the levels present, the kinetics of its rise and its inappropriate location. Rapid, excessive IL-6 production can exacerbate tissue damage in vital organs. In this situation, therapy with an anti-IL-6 or anti-IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) monoclonal antibody, if inappropriately dosed, may be insufficient to fully block IL-6 signalling and normalise the immune response.MethodsWe analysed inhibition of C-reactive protein (CRP) - a biomarker for IL-6 activity - in patients with COVID-19 or idiopathic multicentric Castleman disea

In vitro расширила человека CD4+CD25+ регуляционные T клетки, подавляющие распространение Т клеток.

Регулирующие Т клетки (Tregs) оказались критически важными в балансе между автоиммунизацией и терпимостью и были связаны с несколькими аутоиммунными заболеваниями человека. Однако небольшое число трегов в периферии крови ограничивает их терапевтический потенциал. Поэтому мы разработали протокол, который позволит расширить "Трегз" при сохранении их подавляющей активности. Мы изолировали клетки CD4+CD25 hi от человеческой периферической крови и расширили их in vitro в присутствии anti-CD3 и anti-CD28 Магнитные кситы и высокие концентрации внешнего интерлейкина (IL) -2. Траги были эффективно расш

Targeting fibrosis, mechanisms and cilinical trials.

Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive extracellular matrix deposition due to dysregulated wound and connective tissue repair response. Multiple organs can develop fibrosis, including the liver, kidney, heart, and lung. Fibrosis such as liver cirrhosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis caused substantial disease burden. Persistent abnormal activation of myofibroblasts mediated by various signals, such as transforming growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and fibroblast growh factor, has been recongized as a major event in the occurrence and progression of fibrosi

Cancer Immunotherapy Beyond Checkpoint Blockade: JACC: CardioOncology State-of-the-Art Review.

Avoidance of immune destruction is recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer development. Although first predicted as a potential antitumor treatment modality more than 50 years ago, the widespread clinical use of cancer immunotherapies has only recently become a reality. Cancer immunotherapy works by reactivation of a stalled pre-existing immune response or by eliciting a de novo immune response, and its toolkit comprises antibodies, vaccines, cytokines, and cell-based therapies. The treatment paradigm in some malignancies has completely changed over the past 10 to 15 years. Massive effort

Breaking Therapy Resistance: An Update on Oncolytic Newcastle Disease Virus for Improvements of Cancer Therapy.

Resistance to therapy is a major obstacle to cancer treatment. It may exist from the beginning, or it may develop during therapy. The review focusses on oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) as a biological agent with potential to break therapy resistance. This avian virus combines, upon inoculation into non-permissive hosts such as human, 12 described anti-neoplastic effects with 11 described immune stimulatory properties. Fifty years of clinical application of NDV give witness to the high safety profile of this biological agent. In 2015, an important milestone was achieved, namely the succ
