Epigenetics-targeted drugs: current paradigms and future challenges.

Epigenetics governs a chromatin state regulatory system through five key mechanisms: DNA modification, histone modification, RNA modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation. These mechanisms and their associated enzymes convey genetic information independently of DNA base sequences, playing essential roles in organismal development and homeostasis. Conversely, disruptions in epigenetic landscapes critically influence the pathogenesis of various human diseases. This understanding has laid a robust theoretical groundwork for developing drugs that target epigenetics-modifyin

Companion Diagnostics in Clinical Therapy: Current Applications and Future Directions.

Companion diagnostics (CDx) plays a pivotal role in precision medicine by enabling personalized treatment plans based on individual biomarker profiles. This approach can enhance therapeutic efficacy in selected indications and may reduce healthcare expenditures. Particularly in oncology, precision targeted therapies targeting pathways such as EGFR, HER2, and programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 have established robust models for biomarker-driven treatment. However, rapid advancements in diagnostic technologies, expanding application scopes, and increasingly complex mechanisms of biomar

Targeted phytotherapy: essential oils, multi-target cancer action & nanodelivery.

Biochemical components of essential oils (EOs) are an innovative but largely underexplored type of precision phytotherapy (PT) in oncology owing to their anticancer activity against many types of tumors. This article discusses the important multitargeted molecular mechanisms of EOs (apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, angiogenesis, metastasis, tumor microenvironment) and their role as antitumor agents. In particular, an effort has been made to emphasize on the most notable volatile EOs such as thymol, eugenol, limonene, β-caryophyllene, and their interaction with oncogenic signaling pathways (NF-κB,
