Early-Onset Osteoporosis: Rare Monogenic Forms Elucidate the Complexity of Disease Pathogenesis Beyond Type I Collagen.

Early-onset osteoporosis (EOOP), characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures, affects children, premenopausal women and men aged <50 years. EOOP may be secondary to a chronic illness, long-term medication, nutritional deficiencies, etc. If no such cause is identified, EOOP is regarded primary and may then be related to rare variants in genes playing a pivotal role in bone homeostasis. If the cause remains unknown, EOOP is considered idiopathic. The scope of this review is to guide through clinical and genetic diagnostics of EOOP, summarize the present knowledge on rare monoge

Combinatorial targeting of cancer bone metastasis using mRNA engineered stem cells.

BACKGROUND: Bone metastases are common and devastating to cancer patients. Existing treatments do not specifically target the disease sites and are therefore ineffective and systemically toxic. Here we present a new strategy to treat bone metastasis by targeting both the cancer cells ("the seed"), and their surrounding niche ("the soil"), using stem cells engineered to home to the bone metastatic niche and to maximise local delivery of multiple therapeutic factors. METHODS: We used mesenchymal stem cells engineered using mRNA to simultaneously express P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1)

Exosomes in oncofertility: emerging roles in chemotherapy-induced reproductive damage and fertility preservation.

ABSTRACT: Oncofertility has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field addressing the reproductive challenges faced by cancer patients, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy. While chemotherapeutic agents remain indispensable in cancer therapy, their gonadotoxic effects frequently result in diminished ovarian reserve, impaired spermatogenesis, and long-term infertility. Exosomes - small extracellular vesicles enriched with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids - are increasingly recognized as key mediators of intercellular communication in both pathological and regenerative contexts. Rec

Epigenetic and Genetic Keys to Fight HPV-Related Cancers.

Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer among women globally, with approximately 600,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. The principal driver of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), where viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 undertake the role of driving its carcinogenic potential. Despite extensive investigative efforts, numerous facets concerning HPV infection, replication, and pathogenesis remain shrouded in uncertainty. The virus operates through a variety of epigenetic mechanisms, and the epigenetic signature of HPV-related tumors is a major bottleneck in our

Exogenous Heat Shock Proteins in Oncology: Biological Roles and Clinical Implications.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs), particularly HSP70 and HSP90, are highly conserved molecular chaperones that protect cells from a wide range of stressors and maintain proteome homeostasis. In cancer, tumor cells frequently overexpress and actively release HSPs into the extracellular space and circulation in response to metabolic alterations, hypoxia, oxidative stress, and therapeutic interventions. Consequently, circulating HSP levels are often elevated in patients with malignancies compared with healthy individuals. This review summarizes current evidence on the diagnostic, prognostic, and predic

Understanding Mesangial Pathobiology in AL-Amyloidosis and Monoclonal Ig Light Chain Deposition Disease.

Patients with plasma cell dyscrasias produce free abnormal monoclonal Ig light chains that circulate in the blood stream. Some of them, termed glomerulopathic light chains, interact with the mesangial cells and trigger, in a manner dependent of their structural and physicochemical properties, a sequence of pathological events that results in either light chain-derived (AL) amyloidosis (AL-Am) or light chain deposition disease (LCDD). The mesangial cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The interaction with the pathogenic light chain elicits specific cellular processes, whi

Vascular endothelial growth factor signaling in health and disease: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic perspectives.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is a critical regulator of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and lymphangiogenesis, processes that are vital for the development of vascular and lymphatic systems, tissue repair, and the maintenance of homeostasis. VEGF ligands and their receptors orchestrate endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and survival, playing a pivotal role in dynamic vascular remodeling. Dysregulated VEGF signaling drives diverse pathological conditions, including tumor angiogenesis, cardiovascular diseases, and ocular disorders. Excessive VEGF activity promotes tu

HMMR in human cancers: regulatory mechanism and biological function.

Hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR), also referred to as RHAMM or CD168, has gained recognition as a multifunctional protein that mediates the transmission of extracellular matrix-derived hyaluronan (HA) signals to intracellular pathways regulating tumor growth, migration, and mitosis. Overexpression of HMMR is observed in various cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer, as well as several hematologic malignancies. This elevated expression correlates with poor prognosis, rendering it a valuable marker for survival predi

Митохондриальная передача метаболических перепрограмм и лекарственная устойчивость в метастазе костей: механизмы и терапевтические стратегии.

Кость это one из наиболее распространенных участков удаленного метастаза в твердых опухолях, в частности рак груди, рак простаты и рак легких. Метатические повреждения костей часто свидетельствуют о стойком сопротивлении многосистемной терапии, включая химиотерапию, целевую терапию, эндокринную терапию и ингибиторы иммунных контрольно-пропускных пунктов (ИПК). Накопляющиеся данные свидетельствуют о том, что метаболическая перепрограммирование в пределах костной микроокружающей среды способствует этому сопротивлению, однако механизмы в верхнем течении по-прежнему недостаточно понятны.

Tumor heterogeneity as a driver of drug resistance and its implications for personalized therapy.

Tumors are highly dynamic diseases characterized by significant heterogeneity. They consist of multiple cellular populations with distinct properties that respond differently to therapeutic pressure. This heterogeneity may arise from spatial variation across tumor regions (spatial heterogeneity) as well as from temporal changes during tumor evolution and treatment (temporal heterogeneity). As a consequence, drug-resistant subclones often emerge under therapy and contribute to treatment failure. Advances in single-cell and spatial multi-omics technologies enable precise quantification of tumor

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

FDA-Approved Drugs for Hematological Malignancies-The Last Decade Review.

Hematological malignancies, also referred to as blood cancers, are a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth and persisting in the blood, lymph nodes, or bone marrow. The development of new targeted therapies including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, recombinant immunotoxins, and, finally, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells has improved the clinical outcomes for blood cancers. In this review, we summarized 52 drugs that were divided into small molecule and macromolecule agents, approved by the Food and Drug

Hijacking the helpers: platelet and neutrophil trafficking in AML and therapeutic exploitation.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant hematologic malignancies, driven by clonal expansion of immature myeloid blasts in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Current therapies-chemotherapy and targeted agents-are limited by poor marrow penetration, systemic toxicity, and rapid development of resistant clones, leaving long-term survival rates low. Clinicians face the persistent challenge of delivering effective therapy while minimizing harm. Platelets and neutrophils-beyond their classical roles in hemostasis and innate immunity-actively suppor

Tumor microenvironment signaling and therapeutics in cancer progression.

Tumor development and metastasis are facilitated by the complex interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment, which comprises stromal cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) components, among other factors. Stromal cells can adopt new phenotypes to promote tumor cell invasion. A deep understanding of the signaling pathways involved in cell-to-cell and cell-to-ECM interactions is needed to design effective intervention strategies that might interrupt these interactions. In this review, we describe the tumor microenvironment (TME) components and associated therapeutics. We discuss t

Ageing, Cellular Senescence and Neurodegenerative Disease.

Ageing is a major risk factor for developing many neurodegenerative diseases. Cellular senescence is a homeostatic biological process that has a key role in driving ageing. There is evidence that senescent cells accumulate in the nervous system with ageing and neurodegenerative disease and may predispose a person to the appearance of a neurodegenerative condition or may aggravate its course. Research into senescence has long been hindered by its variable and cell-type specific features and the lack of a universal marker to unequivocally detect senescent cells. Recent advances in senescence mar
