Targeted protein degradation: advances in drug discovery and clinical practice.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a revolutionary therapeutic strategy in disease management, providing a stark contrast to traditional therapeutic approaches like small molecule inhibitors that primarily focus on inhibiting protein function. This advanced technology capitalizes on the cell's intrinsic proteolytic systems, including the proteasome and lysosomal pathways, to selectively eliminate disease-causing proteins. TPD not only enhances the efficacy of treatments but also expands the scope of protein degradation applications. Despite its considerable potential, TPD faces chal

The role of MSCs and CAR-MSCs in cellular immunotherapy.

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are widely used by T cells (CAR-T cells), natural killer cells dendritic cells and macrophages, and they are of great importance in cellular immunotherapy. However, the use of CAR-related products faces several challenges, including the poor persistence of cells carrying CARs, cell dysfunction or exhaustion, relapse of disease, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, cytokine release syndrome, low efficacy against solid tumors and immunosuppression by the tumor microenvironment. Another important cell therapy regimen involves mesenchymal stem c

Medical infrared thermal imaging of canine appendicular bone neoplasia.

BackgroundMedical infrared thermal imaging (MITI) is a noninvasive imaging modality used in veterinary medicine as a screening tool for musculoskeletal and neurological disease processes. An infrared camera measures the surface body heat and produces a color map that represents the heat distribution. Local trauma or disease can impair the autonomic nervous system, which leads to changes in the local dermal microcirculation and subsequent alteration of surface body heat. Disruption of autonomic flow to the cutaneous vasculature at deeper levels can also result in asymmetric thermographic result

The dual balance of the cytokine network: key messengers of immune activation and triggers of cytokine storm.

The cytokine network is the central regulatory system for intercellular communication within the immune system. Its proper function depends on the dynamic balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Through complex positive and negative feedback loops, this balance precisely regulates the intensity and duration of immune responses, thereby playing a critical role in both physiological and pathological states. This review systematically summarizes the compositional features and classification framework of the cytokine network, as well as the mechanisms by which it maintain

Knee bone tumors: findings on conventional radiology.

The knee is a common site for bone tumors, whether clinically painful or not. Conventional radiology has been established as the first line of investigation in patients with knee pain and can reveal lesions that often generate questions not only for the generalist physician but also for the radiologist or general orthopedist. History, image examination, and histopathological analysis compose the essential tripod of the diagnosis of bone tumors, and conventional radiology is an essential diagnostic tool in patients with knee pain. This pictorial essay proposes to depict the main conventional ra

Nerve Growth Factor and Autoimmune Diseases.

NGF plays a crucial immunomodulatory role and increased levels are found in numerous tissues during autoimmune states. NGF directly modulates innate and adaptive immune responses of B and T cells and causes the release of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters controlling the immune system activation in inflamed tissues. Evidence suggests that NGF is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous immune diseases including autoimmune thyroiditis, chronic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, mastocytosis, and chronic granulomatous disease. Furthermore, as NGF levels have been link

Abemaciclib, A Selective CDK4/6 Inhibitor, Restricts the Growth of Pediatric Ependymomas.

Pediatric ependymomas are a type of malignant brain tumor that occurs in children. The overall 10-year survival rate has been reported as being 45-75%. Maximal safe surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemoradiation therapy is associated with the highest overall and progression-free survival rates. Despite aggressive treatment, one-third of ependymomas exhibit recurrence within 2 years of initial treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to find new agents to overcome chemoresistance and defer radiotherapy treatment since, in addition, radiation exposure may cause long-term side effects in
