Angioprevention of Urologic Cancers by Plant-Derived Foods.

The number of cancer cases worldwide keeps growing unstoppably, despite the undeniable advances achieved by basic research and clinical practice. Urologic tumors, including some as prevalent as prostate, bladder or kidney tumors, are no exceptions to this rule. Moreover, the fact that many of these tumors are detected in early stages lengthens the duration of their treatment, with a significant increase in health care costs. In this scenario, prevention offers the most cost-effective long-term strategy for the global control of these diseases. Although specialized diets are not the only way to

Новое применение XPO1 для лечения миэлофиброза.

Myelofibrosis (MF) — новообразование, характеризующееся конституционными симптомами, прогрессивными цитопентиями и селеногамели. В основе патобологии MF лежит активация мутации на пути JAK/STAT и регулирование цитокинового костного мозга. Хотя многие ингибиторы JAK в настоящее время официально утверждены и обеспечивают значительное улучшение симптомов, эти агенты не имеют курса на изменение потенциала. Кроме того, результаты являются неудовлетворительными для пациентов, которые не справляются с ингибиторами JAK, что подчеркивает необходимость применения новых методов лечения, основанных на исп

Curcumin as a promising therapeutic agent for diabetic neuropathy: from molecular mechanisms to functional recovery.

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia. It results from either insulin deficiency (type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM) or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM). This condition has emerged as a significant health concern in recent years. Hyperglycemia induces the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can modulate multiple pathways, including AGEs-RAGE, PKC stimulation, NF-κB and PI3K/AKT. These pathways contribute to diabetes-related complications such as inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and reduced gluco

The effects of twenty-four nutrients and phytonutrients on immune system function and inflammation: A narrative review.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recently, optimal immune function has become a primary focus of worldwide attention not only in the prevention of chronic disease but also as one strategy to reduce the severity of acute illness. Inflammation, a process largely controlled by the immune system, has long been studied and recognized for its role in chronic disease. Optimizing immune function or managing inflammation using individual nutrients and phytonutrients is not well understood by the average person. Thus, this narrative literature review summarizes many of the more recent findings about how certain nutr

Obesity and Cancer: Mechanisms, Epidemiological Evidence, and Potential Risk Reduction.

Obesity promotes carcinogenesis through interlocking metabolic, inflammatory, immune, and hormonal pathways. We narratively synthesize recent meta-analyses and selected cohort studies that examine adiposity-principally body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference-in relation to cancer incidence. Across the 13 cancers designated by the U.S. National Cancer Institute as obesity-associated, risk elevations are generally consistent, though magnitudes vary by histology (e.g., esophageal adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma), anatomic subsite (gastric cardia vs. non-cardia), sex or menopausal
