Beyond boundaries: unraveling innovative approaches to combat bone-metastatic cancers.

Evidence demonstrated that bones, liver, and lungs are the most common metastasis sites in some human malignancies, especially in prostate and breast cancers. Bone is the third most frequent target for spreading tumor cells among these organs and tissues. Patients with bone-metastatic cancers face a grim prognosis characterized by short median survival time. Current treatments have proven insufficient, as they can only inhibit metastasis or tumor progression within the bone tissues rather than providing a curative solution. Gaining a more profound comprehension of the interplay between tumor c

Multiple myeloma, a quintessential malignant disease of aging: a geroscience perspective on pathogenesis and treatment.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy, which is predominantly a disease of older adults (the median age at diagnosis is 70 years). The slow progression from asymptomatic stages and the late-onset of MM suggest fundamental differences compared to many other hematopoietic system-related malignancies. The concept discussed in this review is that age-related changes at the level of terminally differentiated plasma cells act as the main risk factors for the development of MM. Epigenetic and genetic changes that characterize both MM development and normal aging are highlighted

Изучение связи между ядерными рецепторами в гематологических галереях.

Гематологические магнации (ГМ) представляют собой подмножество новообразований, затрагивающих кровь, костный мозг и лимфатические системы, которые в основном подразделяются на лейкемию, лимфому и множественную миелому. Их прогнозы значительно отличаются друг от друга, причем, несмотря на текущее лечение, часто возникает опасность рецидива. Несмотря на то, что современные терапевтические стратегии расширили общее выживание пациентов, они не предлагают лечения на продвинутых этапах и часто приводят к таким проблемам, как приобретение лекарственной устойчивости, рецидивы и серьезные побочные эффе

Диагностика амиотропического бокового склероза: до настоящего времени.

Амиотрофический боковой склероз (ALS) — прогрессивное нейродегенеративное заболевание, характеризующееся постепенной потерей верхних и нижних моторных нейронов и их путей, обычно без воздействия на экстракулярные и сфинктерные мышцы. Причины этого заболевания пока не известны. Это цепь последующих событий, заканчивающихся запрограммированной клеточной смертью в селективных нейронных поднаселениях. Прогнозы на выживание довольно коротки с медианой 2 в адрес 4 Годы. Выживание может быть продлено на основе оперативной диагностики, подтипа ALS и надлежащего управления с помощью поддерживающего леч

Drug repurposing in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC: a focus on resistance mechanisms and clinical strategies.

KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has transitioned from a therapeutically problematic disease to a precision-targetable cancer, anchored by the landmark approvals of sotorasib and adagrasib. Yet despite these advances, responses remain limited in duration and multiple mechanisms of rapid adaptive resistance emerge under inhibitor pressure. These resistance mechanisms define a therapeutic vulnerability map that can be addressed by repurposing approved agents with established safety profiles. This review emphasises the current understanding of KRAS G12C biology, integrates upda

Exosomes-loaded with traditional Chinese medicine constituents: a novel therapeutic avenue for aplastic anemia.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening blood disorder characterized by bone marrow failure and pancytopenia. Treatments such as immunosuppressive therapy (IST) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) have limitations, including poor long-term remission and donor shortages. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles, are promising drug delivery systems (DDS) due to their biocompatibility, targeted delivery, and capacity to penetrate biological barriers. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulates hematopoiesis and immunity but faces challenges with delivery. This

Acute myeloid leukemia: from NGS, through scRNA-seq, to CAR-T. dissect cancer heterogeneity and tailor the treatment.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood cancer with marked cellular heterogeneity due to altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, the possible causes of which are transcriptional or epigenetic alterations, impaired apoptosis, and excessive cell proliferation. This neoplasm has a high rate of resistance to anticancer therapies and thus a high risk of relapse and mortality because of both the biological diversity of the patient and intratumoral heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic changes. For more than 40 years, the old gold standard "one size fits all"

The trinity of T cell engagement: navigating the molecular and clinical landscape of CAR-T, TILs, and TCEs in the war against cancer.

The advent of cancer immunotherapy has fundamentally restructured the oncological paradigm, moving away from agents that directly target tumor cell kinetics toward strategies that empower the host immune system to recognize and eliminate malignancy. Central to this revolution is the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), now harnessed as a potent "living drug" through engineered and naturally selected modalities. This review provides a critical, in-depth examination of the three dominant pillars of T cell-driven therapies: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte

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

Antileukemia Activity of Human Natural Killer Cell-Derived Nanomagic Bullets against Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Background: Cancer is among the serious health problems of the medical world, for treatment of which severe treatments are used. However, the prognosis of cancer patients is still poor. The application of NK cell-derived exosomes (NK-Exo) is a new method for cancer immunotherapy. These nanoparticles with a size range of 30-120 nm are a small model of mother cells. In this study, the anti-tumor activity of NK-Exo and LAK-Exo (activated NK cell-derived exosome) against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is investigated in vitro. Materials and Methods: The MACS method was performed for the separation o

Cannabinoids: an Effective Treatment for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity?

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects of antineoplastic treatment, particularly of lung, breast, prostate, gastrointestinal, and germinal cancers, as well as of different forms of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Currently, no effective therapies are available for CIPN prevention, and symptomatic treatment is frequently ineffective; thus, several clinical trials are addressing this unmet clinical need. Among possible pharmacological treatments of CIPN, modulation of the endocannabinoid system might be particularly promising, espe

CAR-Engineered Cell Therapies Beyond Cancer: Reprogramming Fibrosis and Immune-Mediated Inflammation.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered cell therapies are being extended from hematological malignancies to autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases, although the maturity of evidence differs markedly among platforms and indications. Early clinical evidence from case reports, small case series, and early-phase trials suggests that CD19- or BCMA-directed CAR-T cells can induce deep B-cell or plasma-cell depletion and sustained remission in selected patients with refractory autoimmune diseases; however, their comparative efficacy, durability, and long-term safety remain incompletely d

Regulating the regulators: long non-coding RNAs as autophagic controllers in chronic disease management.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and their associated morbidities demands a deeper understanding of underlying mechanism and causative factors, with the hope of developing novel therapeutic strategies. Autophagy, a conserved biological process, involves the degradation of damaged organelles or protein aggregates to maintain cellular homeostasis. Disruption of this crucial process leads to increased genomic instability, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased mitochondrial functions, and suppression of ubiquitination, leading to overall decline in quality of intrac

Lysine Methyltransferase Inhibitors Impair H4K20me2 and 53BP1 Foci in Response to DNA Damage in Sarcomas, a Synthetic Lethality Strategy.

BackgroundChromatin is dynamically remodeled to adapt to all DNA-related processes, including DNA damage responses (DDR). This adaptation requires DNA and histone epigenetic modifications, which are mediated by several types of enzymes; among them are lysine methyltransferases (KMTs).MethodsKMT inhibitors, chaetocin and tazemetostat (TZM), were used to study their role in the DDR induced by ionizing radiation or doxorubicin in two human sarcoma cells lines. The effect of these KMT inhibitors was tested by the analysis of chromatin epigenetic modifications, H4K16ac and H4K20me2. DDR was monitor

The emerging role of exosomes in innate immunity, diagnosis and therapy.

Exosomes, which are nano-sized transport bio-vehicles, play a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis by exchanging genetic or metabolic information between different cells. Exosomes can also play a vital role in transferring virulent factors between the host and parasite, thereby regulating host gene expression and the immune interphase. The association of inflammation with disease development and the potential of exosomes to enhance or mitigate inflammatory pathways support the notion that exosomes have the potential to alter the course of a disease. Clinical trials exploring the role of exo

Cytokine-Engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy: How to Balance the Efficacy and Toxicity.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy has revolutionized the paradigm in hematological malignancies. However, its efficacy in treating solid tumors remains limited because the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) seriously blocks T cell activation, infiltration, and proliferation. Cytokines, driving potent assisted function by enhanced T cell expansion, persistence, and direct tumor cell killing, have long been acknowledged as promising candidates combined with CAR-T cells to improve treatment outcomes. Despite their preclinical success, significant toxicity occurs in

Selective MCL-1 inhibitor ABBV-467 is efficacious in tumor models but is associated with cardiac troponin increases in patients.

BackgroundMCL-1 is a prosurvival B-cell lymphoma 2 family protein that plays a critical role in tumor maintenance and survival and can act as a resistance factor to multiple anticancer therapies. Herein, we describe the generation and characterization of the highly potent and selective MCL-1 inhibitor ABBV-467 and present findings from a first-in-human trial that included patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (NCT04178902).MethodsBinding of ABBV-467 to human MCL-1 was assessed in multiple cell lines. The ability of ABBV-467 to induce tumor growth inhibition was investigated in xen

The causal relationship between multiple cardiovascular diseases and glioblastoma: A Mendelian randomization study.

Observational studies suggest an association between glioblastoma (GBM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but a causal relationship remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal link between multiple CVDs and GBM risk. The inverse variance weighted method indicated that all 18 CVDs had significant causal associations with GBM (P < .05). Genetically predicted CVDs were uniformly associated with a lower risk of GBM (odds ratio < 1), identifying them as potential protective factors. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the absence of significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotr
