BackgroundThe interplay between different neuropsychiatric conditions, beyond dementia, in the presence of a diagnosis of cancer in older adults may mediate patients' fitness and cancer-related outcomes. Here, we aimed to investigate the presence of depression, sleep disturbances, anxiety, attitude, motivation, and support in older adults receiving a diagnosis of cancer and the dimension of frailty in order to understand the magnitude of the problem.MethodsThis review provides an update of the state of the art based on references from searches of PubMed between 2000 and June 2021.ResultsThe ev

Apoptosis and (in) Pain-Potential Clinical Implications.

The deregulation of apoptosis is involved in the development of several pathologies, and recent evidence suggests that apoptosis may be involved in chronic pain, namely in neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain state caused by primary damage or dysfunction of the nervous system; however, the details of the molecular mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Recently, it was found that nerve endings contain transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that sense and detect signals released by injured tissues and respond to these damage signals. TRP channels are similar to the

Current Technologies and Future Perspectives in Immunotherapy towards a Clinical Oncology Approach.

Immunotherapy is now established as a potent therapeutic paradigm engendering antitumor immune response against a wide range of malignancies and other diseases by modulating the immune system either through the stimulation or suppression of immune components such as CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells. By targeting several immune checkpoint inhibitors or blockers (e.g., PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, LAG3, and TIM-3) expressed on the surface of immune cells, several monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies have been develop

C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) antagonism in precision oncology: Clinical applications and future directions.

Physiologically, the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) signalling pathway regulates key aspects of tumor behavior (growth, metastasis, and immune evasion) and modulates immune system function. Anticancer researchers have identified peptide-based CXCR4 antagonists as promising candidates due to their high targeting specificity and favorable safety profiles. This review provides an analytical examination of CXCR4 antagonistic peptides,the selective Mavorixafor (X4P-001), an advanced, selective CXCR4 inhibitor. When Mavorixafor binds to the same location as C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (

PRMT5: An Emerging Target for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

The overall survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains poor and its incidence is rising. Targetable mutations in PDAC are rare, thus novel therapeutic approaches are needed. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) overexpression is associated with worse survival and inhibition of PRMT5 results in decreased cancer growth across multiple cancers, including PDAC. Emerging evidence also suggests that altered RNA processing is a driver in PDAC tumorigenesis and creates a partial dependency on this process. PRMT5 inhibition induces altered splicing and this vulnerability can be

Exploring new drug treatment targets for immune related bone diseases using a multi omics joint analysis strategy.

In the field of treatment and prevention of immune-related bone diseases, significant challenges persist, necessitating the urgent exploration of new and effective treatment methods. However, most existing Mendelian randomization (MR) studies are confined to a single analytical approach, which limits the comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of these diseases. In light of this, we propose the hypothesis that genetic variations in specific plasma proteins have a causal relationship with immune-related bone diseases through the MR mechanism, and that k

Mesenchymal stem cells lineage and their role in disease development.

BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely dispersed in vivo and are isolated from several tissues, including bone marrow, heart, body fluids, skin, and perinatal tissues. Bone marrow MSCs have a multidirectional differentiation potential, which can be induced to differentiate the medium in a specific direction or by adding specific regulatory factors. MSCs repair damaged tissues through lineage differentiation, and the ex vivo transplantation of bone marrow MSCs can heal injured sites. MSCs have different propensities for lineage differentiation and pathological evolution for differen

From Development, Disease, and Decline: A Review of What Defines an Osteoclast Progenitor.

Our understanding of the different developmental origins of osteoclast progenitors and their respective roles during homeostatic bone remodeling at different skeletal sites as well as their roles within bone regeneration and degenerative conditions is evolving. In this narrative review article, we summarize what is known about the developmental origins, anatomical sources, and markers of osteoclast progenitors. We touch on how osteoclast progenitors vary during different disease contexts, including periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. In addition, we also characterize osteo

Клеточные иммунотерапии для множественного склероза: механистические интуиции и клинические достижения.

Множественный склероз (MS) представляет собой хроническое, разнородное, многофакторное, иммунно-дегенеративное заболевание центральной нервной системы, которое влияет на население трудоспособного возраста. На его развитие влияют как генетические, так и экологические факторы. Патологическая характеристика MS - это образование демиелинизирующих повреждений мозга и спинного мозга, которые связаны с нейронными повреждениями, вызванными аутоагрессивными иммунными факторами (Т клетки, В клетки и миэлоидные клетки). Считается, что координационные повреждения вызваны инфильтрацией иммунных клеток в це

Natural Killer Cells in Immunotherapy: Are We Nearly There?

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent anti-tumor and anti-microbial cells of our innate immune system. They are equipped with a vast array of receptors that recognize tumor cells and other pathogens. The innate immune activity of NK cells develops faster than the adaptive one performed by T cells, and studies suggest an important immunoregulatory role for each population against the other. The association, observed in acute myeloid leukemia patients receiving haploidentical killer-immunoglobulin-like-receptor-mismatched NK cells, with induction of complete remission was the determinant to begin

Antibody-based therapies in multiple myeloma.

The unmet need for improved multiple myeloma (MM) therapy has stimulated clinical development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting either MM cells or cells of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. In contrast to small-molecule inhibitors, therapeutic mAbs present the potential to specifically target tumor cells and directly induce an immune response to lyse tumor cells. Unique immune-effector mechanisms are only triggered by therapeutic mAbs but not by small molecule targeting agents. Although therapeutic murine mAbs or chimeric mAbs can cause immunogenicity, the advancement of genetic r

Mini-Review: Current Bladder Cancer Treatment-The Need for Improvement.

Bladder cancer is the tenth most common cancer and is a significant burden on health care services worldwide, as it is one of the most costly cancers to treat per patient. This expense is due to the extensive treatment and follow-ups that occur with costly and invasive procedures. Improvement in both treatment options and the quality of life these interventions offer has not progressed at the rates of other cancers, and new alternatives are desperately needed to ease the burden. A more modern approach needs to be taken, with urinary biomarkers being a positive step in making treatments more pa

Role of lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in health and disease: novel therapeutic strategies.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an abundant bioactive phospholipid, with multiple functions both in development and in pathological conditions. Here, we review the literature about the differential signaling of LPA through its specific receptors, which makes this lipid a versatile signaling molecule. This differential signaling is important for understanding how this molecule can have such diverse effects during central nervous system development and angiogenesis; and also, how it can act as a powerful mediator of pathological conditions, such as neuropathic pain, neurodegenerative diseases, an

Targeting the CD47-TSP1 Axis in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Novel Immunotherapeutic Approach.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disorder characterized by progressive dilation and weakening of the abdominal aortic wall. Despite advances in surgical repair, rupture remains associated with mortality rates exceeding 65%, and no effective pharmacological therapy exists to prevent disease progression. Increasing evidence highlights chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, and immune dysregulation as central drivers of AAA pathogenesis. Among these mechanisms, the thrombospondin-1 (TSP1)-CD47 signaling axis has emerged as a critical upstream regulat
