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

"Bioinspired" Membrane-Coated Nanosystems in Cancer Theranostics: A Comprehensive Review.

Achieving precise cancer theranostics necessitates the rational design of smart nanosystems that ensure high biological safety and minimize non-specific interactions with normal tissues.

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease.

Nucleotide metabolism is a fundamental biochemical process, providing the building blocks for DNA and RNA synthesis while driving critical cellular functions like energy transfer, signal transduction, and coenzyme synthesis. The precise regulation of nucleotide de novo synthesis, salvage, and degradation pathways is imperative for maintaining genomic stability and tissue homeostasis. Aberrations in these networks are increasingly recognized as primary drivers in various pathologies; notably, cancer cells exploit metabolic-functional reprogramming to enable rapid proliferation and therapeutic r

Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer-A Review.

Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Additionally, strategies have been explored to synthesize liposomes that respond to internal and/or external stimuli to release their payload controllably. Although research into liposomes for brain cancer treatment is still in its infancy, these systems have great potential to fundamentally change the drug delivery landscape. This review paper attempts to consol

The γ-secretase complex: from discovery to a therapeutic target.

γ-Secretase is an intricate intramembrane aspartyl protease that cleaves within the transmembrane domain of ∼150 substrates and is considered the 'proteasome of the membrane'. This enzyme consists of four different subunits, with presenilin being the catalytic subunit. This review provides a brief overview of γ-secretase as a proteolytic enzyme, from its biochemistry and biology to its roles in disease and potential as a therapeutic target. A detailed discussion on the discovery and structure of γ-secretase is followed by a survey of its substrates, including the most studied amyloid precursor

Cold atmospheric plasma sensitizes head and neck cancer to chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most prevalent cancer globally, often characterized by chemo-resistance and immunosuppression, which significantly hampers treatment efficacy. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has recently emerged as a promising adjuvant oncotherapy with substantial potential and advantages. In this study, Piezobrush® PZ2, a handheld CAP unit based on the piezoelectric direct discharge technology, was used to generate and deliver non-thermal plasma. We aimed to investigate the effects of CAPPZ2 on various types of HNC cells and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In addi

BCL-2 and BCL-xL in Cancer: Regulation, Function, and Therapeutic Targeting.

The BCL-2 family of proteins plays a central role in the regulation of apoptosis, with BCL-2 and BCL-xL representing two of its most prominent antiapoptotic members. This review explores the molecular regulation of BCL-2 and BCL-xL genes, emphasizing the structural domains that define the functions of the broader BCL-2 family. Beyond their canonical roles in preventing mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, both proteins contribute significantly to cancer development. Their overexpression enhances invasiveness and tumor progression, supports angiogenesis, and critically modulates cellu

Cardiotoxicity Induced by Anticancer Therapies: A Call for Integrated Cardio-Oncology Practice.

The introduction of novel oncologic therapies, including targeted agents, immunotherapies, and antibody-drug conjugates, has transformed the therapeutic landscape of cancer care. This evolution has resulted in a dual clinical scenario; while survival outcomes have markedly improved, leading to a growing population of long-term cancer survivors, an increasing incidence of previously unrecognized treatment-related toxicities has emerged. Among these, cardiovascular adverse events represent some of the most prevalent and clinically significant complications observed in both conventional chemother

Field-Deployable Treatments For Leishmaniasis: Intrinsic Challenges, Recent Developments and Next Steps.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease endemic primarily to low- and middle-income countries, for which there has been inadequate development of affordable, safe, and efficacious therapies. Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis range from self-healing skin lesions to lethal visceral infection with chances of relapse. Although treatments are available, secondary effects limit their use outside the clinic and negatively impact the quality of life of patients in endemic areas. Other non-medicinal treatments, such as thermotherapies, are limited to use in patients with cutaneous leishman

Anticancer Role of PPARgamma Agonists in Hematological Malignancies Found in the Vasculature, Marrow, and Eyes.

The use of targeted cancer therapies in combination with conventional chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation treatment has increased overall survival of cancer patients. However, longer survival is accompanied by increased incidence of comorbidities due, in part, to drug side effects and toxicities. It is well accepted that inflammation and tumorigenesis are linked. Because peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists are potent mediators of anti-inflammatory responses, it was a logical extension to examine the role of PPARgamma agonists in the treatment and prevention of
