CHI3L1 в Множественном склерозе-от скамьи до клиники.

Множественный склероз (MS) — хроническое демиелинирующее заболевание центральной нервной системы (CNS) с сложным и не вполне понятным этиопатологическим фоном, предусматривающим воспалительные и нейродегенеративные процессы. CHI3L1 был замешан в таких патологических условиях, как воспаление, повреждение и нейродегенерация, и, вероятно, будет играть определенную роль в физиологическом развитии CNS. CHI3L1 производится главным образом макрофагами CNS, микроглией и активированными астроцитами. Структура выражения CHI3L1 при поражениях MS может поддержать важную роль астроцитов в модуляции подстре

Genetic factors and management strategies in aortic health: a literature review of inherited aortopathy.

Inherited aortopathies, including Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome, are genetic disorders characterized by structural abnormalities of the aorta that predispose individuals to life-threatening complications like aneurysms and dissections. These conditions result from mutations in genes essential for maintaining aortic wall integrity, such as FBN1, TGFBR1, and COL3A1, affecting extracellular matrix components and the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway. Marfan syndrome has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 5000, while Loeys-Dietz syndrome and vascul

Emerging agents that target signaling pathways to eradicate colorectal cancer stem cells.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The modern concept of cancer biology indicates that cancer is formed of a small population of cells called cancer stem cells (CSCs), which present both pluripotency and self-renewal properties. These cells are considered responsible for the progression of the disease, recurrence and tumor resistance. Interestingly, some cell signaling pathways participate in CRC survival, proliferation, and self-renewal properties, and most of them are dysregulated in CSCs, includ

Regulatory T cells and immune escape in HCC: understanding the tumor microenvironment and advancing CAR-T cell therapy.

Liver cancer, which most commonly manifests as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the sixth most common cancer in the world. In HCC, the immune system plays a crucial role in the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. HCC achieve immune escape through the tumor microenvironment, which significantly promotes the development of this cancer. Here, this article introduces and summarizes the functions and effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment, highlighting how Tregs inhibit and regulate the functions of immune and tumor cells, cytokines, ligands and receptors, etc, t

Cyclic Polypeptide D7 Protects Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cells and Promotes Chondrogenesis during Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head via Growth Differentiation Factor 15-Mediated Redox Signaling.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating disease that is closely associated with the clinical application of high-dose glucocorticoids. Elevated oxidative stress contributes to the pathophysiological changes observed in ONFH. The lack of effective treatments besides surgical intervention highlights the importance of finding novel therapeutics. Our previous studies demonstrated that D7, a cyclic polypeptide, enhances the adhesion, expansion, and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Therefore, in this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of D7

Cannabidiol-from Plant to Human Body: A Promising Bioactive Molecule with Multi-Target Effects in Cancer.

Cannabis sativa L. is a plant long used for its textile fibers, seed oil, and oleoresin with medicinal and psychoactive properties. It is the main source of phytocannabinoids, with over 100 compounds detected so far. In recent years, a lot of attention has been given to the main phytochemicals present in Cannabis sativa L., namely, cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Compared to THC, CBD has non-psychoactive effects, an advantage for clinical applications of anti-tumor benefits. The review is designed to provide an update regarding the multi-target effects of CBD in different

Multiple Myeloma Bone Disease: Implication of MicroRNAs in Its Molecular Background.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematological malignancy arising from terminally differentiated plasma cells. In the majority of cases, symptomatic disease is characterized by the presence of bone disease. Multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD) is a result of an imbalance in the bone-remodeling process that leads to increased osteoclast activity and decreased osteoblast activity. The molecular background of MMBD appears intriguingly complex, as several signaling pathways and cell-to-cell interactions are implicated in the pathophysiology of MMBD. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA mol

Googling the Guggul (Commiphora and Boswellia) for Prevention of Chronic Diseases.

Extensive research during last 2 decades has revealed that most drugs discovered today, although costs billions of dollars for discovery, and yet they are highly ineffective in their clinical response. For instance, the European Medicines Agency has approved 68 anti-cancer drugs, and out of which 39 has reached the market level with no indication of increased survival nor betterment of quality of life. Even when drugs did improve survival rate compared to available treatment strategies, most of these were found to be clinically insignificant. This is a fundamental problem with modern drug disc

Peptide-based therapies have shown great potential in enhancing the efficacy of drug delivery, improvi

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

Nutritional approaches in combating therapeutic resistance and enhancing treatment efficacy in cancer: the impact of ketogenic diets.

Cancer remains a major global health challenge, with therapeutic resistance significantly limiting treatment success. Traditional approaches, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, often encounter barriers such as metastasis and adverse effects on healthy tissues. The Warburg effect, which describes cancer cells’ reliance on glucose fermentation despite oxygen availability, has prompted investigations into alternative metabolic interventions. The ketogenic diet (KD), characterized by high fat intake and low carbohydrate intake, induces a metabolic shift that may selectively disadva

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cancer Treatment.

Cancer, as a complicated disease, is considered to be one of the major leading causes of death globally. Although various cancer therapeutic strategies have been established, however, some issues confine the efficacies of the treatments. In recent decades researchers for finding efficient therapeutic solutions have extensively focused on the abilities of stem cells in cancer inhibition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can the most widely extracted from various sources such as the bone marrow (BM), placenta, umbilical cord (UC), menses blood, Wharton's jelly (WJ

Adiponectin signalling in bone homeostasis, with age and in disease.

Adiponectin is the most abundant circulating adipokine and is primarily involved in glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Within the bone, osteoblasts and osteoclasts express the adiponectin receptors, however, there are conflicting reports on the effects of adiponectin on bone formation and turnover. Many studies have shown a pro-osteogenic role for adiponectin in in vivo murine models and in vitro: with increased osteoblast differentiation and activity, alongside lower levels of osteoclastogenesis. However, human studies often demonstrate an inverse relationship between adiponectin conc
