Bridging gap in treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome through drug repurposing: what we achieved and where we are?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the chief causes of infertility in women of reproductive age. Several drugs belonging to the oral contraceptive class have been approved for the treatment of PCOS. Nonetheless, the capability to target only a few symptoms of PCOS and fatal side effects are key hurdles to their use.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition to mitigate age-related progression in lung cancer.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a fundamental biological process involved in embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer progression. In lung cancer, EMT is a key regulator of invasion and metastasis, significantly contributing to the fatal progression of the disease. Age-related factors such as cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and epigenetic alterations exacerbate EMT, accelerating lung cancer development in the elderly.

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: An Update on Emerging Pathological Mechanisms.

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a notable consequence of diabetes mellitus, distinguished by cardiac dysfunction that occurs separately from coronary artery disease or hypertension. A recent study has revealed an intricate interaction of pathogenic processes that contribute to DCM. Important aspects involve the dysregulation of glucose metabolism, resulting in heightened oxidative stress and impaired mitochondrial function.

Optimizing gefitinib nanoliposomes by Box-Behnken design and coating with chitosan: A sequential approach for enhanced drug delivery.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to improve the stability and prolonged gefitinib release from the nanoliposomes.

Experimental Approach: Nanoliposomes were prepared by reverse-phase evaporation and optimized using Box-Behnken design to investigate the influence of sonication time ( ), tween 80 / soya phosphatidylcholine ratio ( ), and cholesterol/soya phosphatidylcholine ratio ( ) on nanoliposomes.

Key Results: Optimized nanoliposomes were quasi-spherical shaped, with a mean dimension of 93.

Exploring Therapeutic Strategies: The Relationship between Metabolic Disorders and FOXO Signalling in Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease is an ailment that is linked with the degeneration of the brain cells, and this illness is the main cause of dementia. Metabolic stress affects the activity of the brain in AD via FOXO signaling. The occurrence of AD will significantly surge as the world's population ages, along with lifestyle changes perceived in current decades, indicating a main contributor to such augmented prevalence.

Therapeutic approaches targeting aging and cellular senescence in Huntington's disease.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that is manifested by a gradual loss of physical, cognitive, and mental abilities. As the disease advances, age has a major impact on the pathogenic signature of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein aggregation.

Liposomal encapsulated curcumin attenuates lung cancer proliferation, migration, and induces apoptosis.

Lung cancer is one of the most diagnosed types of cancer worldwide, accounting to one fifth of cancer-related deaths. The high prevalence of lung cancer (LC) is due to various factors such as environmental pollution or lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most diagnosed type of lung cancer.

Cancer-associated fibroblast cell surface markers as potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets in lung cancer.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the vital constituent of the tumor microenvironment, and in communication with other cells, they contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. Fibroblasts are the proposed origin of CAFs, which are mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and the recruitment of immune cells akin to wound healing. Although various studies have identified different subpopulations of CAFs in lung cancer, the heterogeneity of CAFs, particularly in lung cancer, and their potential as a therapeutic target remain largely unknown.
