Chaetocin-mediated SUV39H1 inhibition targets stemness and oncogenic networks of diffuse midline gliomas and synergizes with ONC201

473 views | Jan 22 2024

Targeting the SUV39H1-H3K9me3 pathway in DIPG cells with chaetocin, and combining it with a DRD2 antagonist like ONC201, presents a promising strategy for effective treatment by exploiting vulnerabilities and overcoming resistance mechanisms. [Read the Full Post]

Mechanism of RIP2 enhancing stemness of glioma cells induces temozolomide resistance

308 views | Jan 06 2024

The study elucidates that the receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) mediates temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in gliomas by regulating stemness through the NF-κB pathway, potentially offering a novel therapeutic target for overcoming drug resistance in these tumors. [Read the Full Post]

Herbal compound cepharanthine attenuates inflammatory arthritis by blocking macrophage M1 polarization

204 views | Jan 04 2024

Cepharanthine (CEP) exhibits promising potential as a rheumatoid arthritis treatment by effectively reducing joint inflammation, inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization, and modulating key signaling pathways and metabolic processes associated with the disease. [Read the Full Post]

Exercise attenuates neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease rat model by regulating the level of adenosine 2A receptor

649 views | Dec 23 2023

Exercise appears to mitigate Parkinson's disease symptoms in rats by reducing neurodegeneration through a-synuclein aggregation reduction and adenosine 2A receptor modulation, although the co-administration of an adenosine A2A receptor agonist reverses these beneficial effects.

The protective effects of NE 52-QQ57 against interleukin-33-induced inflammatory response in activated synovial mast cells

595 views | Oct 09 2023

The study suggests that inhibiting GPR4 signaling with the antagonist NE 52-QQ57 may have therapeutic benefits in rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in synovial mast cells. [Read the Full Post]

APX-115, a pan-NADPH oxidase inhibitor, protects development of diabetic nephropathy in podocyte specific NOX5 transgenic mice

0 views | Oct 02 2023

APX-115, a pan-NOX inhibitor, shows potential as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy by improving pancreatic beta cell function, reducing lipid levels, restoring kidney damage markers, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. [Read the Full Post]

pH-sensitive smart indicators based on cellulose and different natural pigments for tracing kimchi ripening stages

688 views | Jul 27 2023

The study found that cellulose-based pH-sensitive indicators loaded with natural pigments showed more pronounced color changes in response to lactic acid and pH variations, with alkalized indicators being particularly effective for monitoring the fermentation process of acidic foods such as kimchi.
