Bergenin, a bioactive flavonoid: advancements in the prospects of anticancer mechanism, pharmacokinetics and nanoformulations.

The natural world is a vast reservoir of exceptionally varied and inventive chemical compositions. Natural products are used as initial compounds to create combinatorial libraries by targeted modifications and then by analyzing their structure-activity connections. This stage is regarded as a crucial milestone in drug discovery and development.

An updated review summarizing the anticancer potential of flavonoids via targeting NF-kB pathway.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) cell signaling pathway is essential for the progression and development of numerous human disorders, including cancer. NF-κB signaling pathway regulates a wide range of physiological processes, such as cell survival, growth, and migration. Deregulated NF-kB signaling resulted in unregulated cell proliferation, viability, movement, and invasion, thus promoting tumor development.

Modulation of persistent bladder pain in mice: The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor, high mobility group box-1, and downstream signaling pathways.

Background: Repeated intravesical activation of protease-activated receptor-4 (PAR4) serves as a model of persistent bladder hyperalgesia (BHA) in mice, which lasts several days after the final stimulus. Spinal macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) are critical mediators in the persistence of BHA.

Objective: We aimed to identify effective systemic treatments for persistent BHA using antagonists or transgenic deletions.

Depression unveiled: Insights into etiology and animal models for behavioral assessment, exploring the multifactorial nature and treatment of depression.

Over the past century, significant shifts in daily living have led to an increased prevalence of mental disorders, often linked to hormonal imbalances. Among these, anxiety and depression stand out as prevalent diagnoses, particularly in industrialized nations. Depression, according to the DSM-5, is a heterogeneous condition that affects emotional, cognitive, and physical functioning, with symptoms including insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and weight changes.
