Ремонт тканей в центральной нервной системе: эпигенетическое программирование регуляторных Т клеток.

Регулирующие Т клетки хорошо известны своей иммуномодуляционной ролью, но также их регенеративная функция все чаще признается в различных типах тканей, включая скелетные мышцы, легкие и центральную нервную систему (ЦНС). В CNS Tregs, как было показано, поощряют дифференциацию олигодендроцитов в прекурсорных клетках, и их взаимодействие с микроглией поддерживает стимулирующую регенеративную микроокружную среду в мозгу. Подавляющая функция Tregs в значительной степени зависит от эпигенетической сигнатуры, в частности метилации ДНК, определенной сети связанных с Treg генов, включая FOXP3, CTLA4,

Proteasome and PARP1 dual-target inhibitor for multiple myeloma: Fluzoparib.

One of the current mainstream treatments for multiple myeloma (MM) is chemotherapy. However, due to the high clonal heterogeneity and genomic complexity of MM, single-target drugs have limited efficacy and are prone to drug resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop multi-target drugs against MM. We screened drugs that simultaneously inhibit poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and 20S proteasome through computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) techniques, and explored the binding mode and dynamic stability of selected inhibitor to proteasome through Molecular biology (MD) simulati

Transplant oncology and anti-cancer immunosuppressants.

Organ transplantation is a life-saving intervention that enhances the quality of life for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, long-term immunosuppressive therapy is required to prevent allogeneic graft rejection, which inadvertently elevates the risk of post-transplant malignancies, especially for liver transplant recipients with a prior history of liver cancer. In response, the emerging field of transplant oncology integrates principles from oncology and immunology to improve outcomes for patients at high risk of tumor occurrence or recurrence following transplantation. Therefore,

Epigenetic Modifiers: Exploring the Roles of Histone Methyltransferases and Demethylases in Cancer and Neurodegeneration.

Histone methyltransferases (HMTs) and histone demethylases (HDMs) are critical enzymes that regulate chromatin dynamics and gene expression through the addition and removal of methyl groups on histone proteins. HMTs, such as PRC2 and SETD2, are involved in the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 and lysine 36, influencing gene silencing and activation. Dysregulation of these enzymes often leads to abnormal gene expression and contributes to tumorigenesis. In contrast, HDMs including KDM7A and KDM2A reverse these methylation marks, and their dysfunction can drive disease progression. In c

Eficacy of Cryotherapy in the Prevention of Oral Mucosistis in Adult Patients with Chemotherapy.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect of cancer therapies. It causes ulcerative, painful lesions in the oral cavity that can provoke malnutrition, increased risk of infection, longer hospital stays, and seriously affect the quality of life. Cooling the mucosa with oral cryotherapy (OC) during and/or after chemotherapy is the most accessible and tolerable intervention available. The aim of this study is to define the efficacy of OC for preventing OM induced by chemotherapy/radiotherapy in adult patients with cancer. Secondary endpoints include associated problems as pain.

Effects of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA, on hematological malignancies: a systematic review.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have well established anti-cancer properties. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are among this biologically active family of macromolecules for which various anti-cancer effects have been explained. These PUFAs have a high safety profile and can induce apoptosis and inhibit growth of cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, following a partially selective manner. They also increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents by increasing the sensitivity of different cell lines to specific anti-neoplastic drugs. Various mechanisms

Перенос Митохондрии для ремонта миелина.

Обезвоживание является общей характеристикой нейро-воспалительных и дегенеративных заболеваний центральной нервной системы (КНС), таких, как множественный склероз (МС). Часто это связано с нарушениями межклеточной связи, биоэнергетики и метаболического баланса в сочетании с митохондриальной дисфункцией в таких клетках, как олигодендроциты, нейроны, астроциты и микроглиа. Несмотря на то, что нынешние методы лечения MS сосредоточены на иммуномодуляции, они не могут остановить или обратить вспять прогресс демиэлизации. Последние достижения подчеркивают межклеточный митохондриальный обмен в качест

The claimed health benefits of the Mediterranean and Asian diets have

Recent Advances in Cancer Vaccines: Challenges, Achievements, and Futuristic Prospects.

Cancer is a chronic disease, and it can be lethal due to limited therapeutic options. The conventional treatment options for cancer have numerous challenges, such as a low blood circulation time as well as poor solubility of anticancer drugs. Therapeutic cancer vaccines emerged to try to improve anticancer drugs' efficiency and to deliver them to the target site. Cancer vaccines are considered a viable therapeutic technique for most solid tumors. Vaccines boost antitumor immunity by delivering tumor antigens, nucleic acids, entire cells, and peptides. Cancer vaccines are designed to induce lon

Иммуномодулирующий и противовоспалительный потенциал S-нитросглутатиона (GSNO) при множественной склерозе: обзор механизмов и терапевтических перспектив.

Многофакторная демиелинизация (МС) — это хроническое аутоиммунное заболевание центральной нервной системы (СНС), характеризующееся длительной нейроинфляминацией, окислительным стрессом, демиелинизацией и прогрессирующей нейродегенерацией. Несмотря на то, что МС остается неизлечимым, современные терапевтические средства (ТМС) помогают снизить частоту обострений и задерживать прогрессирование заболевания. Недавно разработанные инъекционные и инфузийные биологические ТМС обеспечивают целенаправленную иммуномодуляцию, но их клиническая полезность ограничена родственными методами введения и возможн

Ocular toxicity associated with antibody-drug conjugates in cancer therapy: a comprehensive review.

Ocular toxicity from anti-cancer drugs is frequently overlooked, largely because it is non-life-threatening, whereas clinical priorities often center on adverse events that pose immediate risks to survival. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as an important therapeutic modality in oncology, offering potent cytotoxicity against tumor cells through the targeted delivery of payloads. However, this potency also introduces a spectrum of toxicities, among which ocular toxicity has gained increasing attention. ADC-induced ocular toxicity can impair visual function and significantly compromi

Repurposing Pharmaceuticals Previously Approved by Regulatory Agencies to Medically Counter Injuries Arising Either Early or Late Following Radiation Exposure.

The increasing risks of radiological or nuclear attacks or associated accidents have served to renew interest in developing radiation medical countermeasures. The development of prospective countermeasures and the subsequent gain of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval are invariably time consuming and expensive processes, especially in terms of generating essential human data. Due to the limited resources for drug development and the need for expedited drug approval, drug developers have turned, in part, to the strategy of repurposing agents for which safety and clinical data are alrea

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.
