Integrating Nature Into Oncology: Enhancing Hematological Malignancies Therapies With Natural Medicine.

Hematological malignancies are complex clonal disorders that pose a significant threat to human health. Current treatment modalities, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation, have demonstrated efficacy but are often limited by side effects, drug resistance, and suboptimal cure rates. Natural medicines, as key elements of complementary and alternative medicine, exhibit considerable potential in combating hematological cancers. Particularly when used in combination with conventional therapies, they can enhance treatment efficacy and reverse drug resis

The chemokines CXCL8 and CXCL12: molecular and functional properties, role in disease and efforts towards pharmacological intervention.

Chemokines are an indispensable component of our immune system through the regulation of directional migration and activation of leukocytes. CXCL8 is the most potent human neutrophil-attracting chemokine and plays crucial roles in the response to infection and tissue injury. CXCL8 activity inherently depends on interaction with the human CXC chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2, the atypical chemokine receptor ACKR1, and glycosaminoglycans. Furthermore, (hetero)dimerization and tight regulation of transcription and translation, as well as post-translational modifications further fine-tune the s

Immune Therapies in AL Amyloidosis-A Glimpse to the Future.

Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare plasma cell disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains in target organs, leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Treatment approaches have historically mirrored but lagged behind those of multiple myeloma (MM). Recent advancements in MM immunotherapy are gradually being evaluated and adopted in AL amyloidosis. This review explores the current state of immunotherapeutic strategies in AL amyloidosis, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell thera

Nanoparticle Strategies for Bone Metastasis Immunotherapy: Targeting, Immune Reprogramming and Combination Therapy.

Bone metastases remain one of the most clinically devastating complications of advanced cancer, particularly in breast, prostate, and lung malignancies, where they drive pain, fractures, hypercalcemia, and progressive functional decline. Their management is further complicated by a highly immunosuppressive bone microenvironment characterized by osteoclast-driven bone destruction, myeloid cell dominance, impaired antigen presentation, and weak effector T-cell infiltration, all of which limit the activity of conventional immunotherapies. In this setting, nanoparticles are emerging not merely as

Drug-induced thrombotic microangiopathy: An updated review of causative drugs, pathophysiology, and management.

Drug-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (DITMA) represents 10%-13% of all thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) cases and about 20%-30% of secondary TMAs, just behind pregnancy-related and infection-related forms. Although the list of drugs potentially involved as causative for TMA are rapidly increasing, the scientific literature on DITMA is quite scarce (mostly as individual case reports or little case series), leading to poor knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical management. In this review, we focused on these critical aspects regarding DITMA. We provided an updated list of TMA

Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) clinical practice guideline on immune effector cell-related adverse events.

Immune effector cell (IEC) therapies offer durable and sustained remissions in significant numbers of patients with hematological cancers. While these unique immunotherapies have improved outcomes for pediatric and adult patients in a number of disease states, as 'living drugs,' their toxicity profiles, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), differ markedly from conventional cancer therapeutics. At the time of article preparation, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleuc

Sorcin: a novel potential target in therapies of cancers.

Soluble resistance-related calcium-binding protein (sorcin) is a member of the penta-EF-hand protein family. Sorcin is widely distributed in normal human tissues, such as the brain, heart, lymphocytes, kidneys, breast and skin. Findings suggest that sorcin is associated with the regulation of calcium homeostasis, cell cycle and vesicle trafficking. It has been reported that many types of non-neoplastic diseases such as diabetes, viral infection, infertility, and nervous system diseases were affected by the expression of sorcin. One of the main issues is the role of sorcin in neoplastic disease

Neutrophil diversity and function in health and disease.

Neutrophils, the most abundant type of granulocyte, are widely recognized as one of the pivotal contributors to the acute inflammatory response. Initially, neutrophils were considered the mobile infantry of the innate immune system, tasked with the immediate response to invading pathogens. However, recent studies have demonstrated that neutrophils are versatile cells, capable of regulating various biological processes and impacting both human health and disease. Cytokines and other active mediators regulate the functional activity of neutrophils by activating multiple receptors on these cells,

Malignant mesothelioma tumours: molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapies accompanying clinical studies.

The pathetic malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a extremely uncommon and confrontational tumor that evolves in the mesothelium layer of the pleural cavities (inner lining- visceral pleura and outer lining- parietal pleura), peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis and is highly resistant to standard treatments. In mesothelioma, the predominant pattern of lesions is a loss of genes that limit tumour growth. Despite the worldwide ban on the manufacture and supply of asbestos, the prevalence of mesothelioma continues to increase. Mesothelioma presents and behaves in a variety of ways, making dia

The effects of twenty-four nutrients and phytonutrients on immune system function and inflammation: A narrative review.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recently, optimal immune function has become a primary focus of worldwide attention not only in the prevention of chronic disease but also as one strategy to reduce the severity of acute illness. Inflammation, a process largely controlled by the immune system, has long been studied and recognized for its role in chronic disease. Optimizing immune function or managing inflammation using individual nutrients and phytonutrients is not well understood by the average person. Thus, this narrative literature review summarizes many of the more recent findings about how certain nutr

… In another study, subjects with CKD were randomized for 8 weeks to receive either 4 g/day EΩ3FA (a combination of EPA and DHA), CoQ10, or a placebo of olive oil [ 36 ] to determine the effects on LTB4 and LTB5; other chemotactic agents produced by neutrophils such as myeloperoxidase; specialized pro-resolving … Therefore, EPA and DHA supplementation appeared to increase the content of metabolites of EΩ3FA, while decreasing inflammation and increasing concentrations of specialized pro-resolving mediators, which was all associated with a decrease in the LTB4/LTB5 ratio in patients with low-grade inflammation …

Множественный склероз и кишечная микробиота: Lachnospiraceae из подлеца близнецов MS вызывает заболевание, похожее на MS, в бесфинансовом трансгенном мыше-Непредвзятом функциональном исследовании.

Мы разработали двухуровневую стратегию, направленную на выявление кишечных бактерий, функционально связанных с развитием множественного склероза (MS). Во-первых, мы сравнили кишечные микробные профили в группе из 81 монозиготных близнецов, которые расходятся с MS. Такой подход позволил свести к минимуму смешанное воздействие генетических и ранних экологических факторов и выявил более 50 различных таксов, при этом большинство повышенных таксонов внутри фирм. К ним относятся такса, ранее описываемая как ассоциированная с MS (Anaerotruncus colihominis и Eisenbergiella Tayi), а также вновь выявлен

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

Ocular effects caused by viral infections and corresponding vaccines: An overview of varicella zoster virus, measles virus, influenza viruses, hepatitis B virus, and SARS-CoV-2.

Many viral infections can affect vision and the visual system. Vaccination to prevent diseases is commonplace today, acting by stimulating an immune response without developing the pathology. It involves the production of persisting antibodies against the pathogen and the activation of T cells. Certain diseases have already been eradicated by rigorous vaccination campaigns, while others are hoped to be eliminated soon. Vaccines currently available on the market are largely safe, even if they can rarely cause some adverse effects, such as ocular complications. Analyzing existing literature, we

Гендерное неравенство в когнитивных расстройствах между неврологическими аутоиммунными расстройствами: систематический обзор.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Неврологические аутоиммунные расстройства (НКД) часто переплетаются с когнитивными расстройствами (КИ), что представляет собой многоуровневую проблему как с клиническим пониманием, так и с терапевтическим управлением. Усугубленное бремя NAD и CI не только оказывает значительное влияние на качество жизни пациента (QoL), прогнозы состояния и результаты лечения, но и оказывает несоразмерное воздействие на женщин, которые по своей сути более подвержены автоматическому иммунитету. Этот обзор направлен на изучение гендерных когнитивных недостатков, их основополагающих механизмов и их клини

Pericytes as targets in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Defective paracrine Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) signaling between endothelial cells and the neighboring mural cells have been thought to lead to the development of vascular lesions that are characteristic of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). This review highlights recent progress in our understanding of TGF-β signaling in mural cell recruitment and vessel stabilization and how perturbed TGF-β signaling might contribute to defective endothelial-mural cell interaction affecting vessel functionalities. Our recent findings have provided exciting insights into the role of thalid

Computational proteomics to enhance personalized treatment of COVID-19 and Long COVID.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to significant global health burden, including both acute infections and persistent post-acute sequelae, also known as Long COVID (LC) in survivors. While clinical management has reduced case-fatality rates, a substantial proportion of patients develop LC, a heterogeneous syndrome with long-term symptoms. This complex continuum requires therapeutic strategies for both the acute and chronic phases. Plasma proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool in precision medicin

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Management of POEMS Syndrome.

Polyneuropathy Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal protein and Skin changes syndrome is a rare multisystem condition with a range of manifestations which are often overlooked as trivial comorbidities, until their whole triggers the possibility of the diagnosis. The diagnosis is typically delayed by 12-16 months, by which time patients can be severely disabled. There are no established consensus guidelines. We provide clinicians a comprehensive blueprint for managing POEMS from diagnostic suspicion through the work-up, selection of therapy, follow-up, and treatment of relapse based on publ
