Inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and cancer: unmasking the chronic inflammation link.

Background: Chronic inflammation is a significant driver in the development of various diseases, including cancer. Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CA-CRC) refers to the increased risk of colorectal cancer in individuals with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Methods: This narrative review examines the link between chronic inflammation and CA-CRC.

BRD4 expression and its regulatory interaction with miR-26a-3p, DLG5-AS1, and JMJD1C-AS1 lncRNAs in gastric cancer progression.

Gastric cancer remains a significant health challenge despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is critical to reducing mortality, necessitating the investigation of molecular mechanisms underlying gastric cancer progression. This study focuses on BRD4 expression and its correlation with miR-26a-3p, DLG5-AS1, and JMJD1C-AS1 lncRNAs in gastric cancer.

Neuroprotective effects of flavonoids: endoplasmic reticulum as the target.

The incidence of neurological disorders, particularly age-related neurodegenerative pathologies, exhibits an alarming upward trend, while current pharmacological interventions seldom achieve curative outcomes. Despite their diverse clinical presentations, neurological diseases often share a common pathological thread: the aberrant accumulation of misfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This phenomenon, known as ER stress, arises when the cell's intrinsic quality control mechanisms fail to cope with the protein-folding burden.

Impact of Doxorubicin and Docetaxel on Immune Checkpoint Expression in Colorectal Cancer: Insights into Chemotherapy Resistance Mechanisms.

After chemotherapy, tumor cells tend to become more aggressive, making it challenging for natural and adaptive immune responses to fight them. This often results in recurrence and metastasis, leading to higher mortality rates. The purpose of this study is to discover the mechanisms that cause chemotherapy resistance, including altered expression of immune checkpoints, in a colorectal cancer cell line.

Therapeutic effect of microRNA-21 on differentially expressed hub genes in gastric cancer based on systems biology.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of mortality for many people. Cancer's initiating factors are poorly understood. miR-21 has a crucial function in several malignancies, particularly GC.

Saffron and Sleep Quality: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Sleep quality is defined as an individual's consent to sleep experience. Poor sleep quality has important adverse health outcomes. There are drugs to treat sleep disorders but consumption of these drugs is accompanied by adverse effects whereas herbal treatments have fewer side effects.
