Network Pharmacology-driven therapeutic interventions for Interstitial Lung Diseases using Traditional medicines: A Narrative Review.

This review explores the progressive domain of network pharmacology and its potential to revolutionize therapeutic approaches for Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs), a collective term encompassing Interstitial Pneumonia, Pneumoconiosis, Connective Tissue Disease-related ILDs, and Sarcoidosis. The exploration focuses on the profound legacy of traditional medicines, particularly Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), and their largely unexplored capacity in ILD treatment. These ancient healing systems, characterized by their holistic methodologies and multifaceted treatment modalities, offer a promising foundation for discovering innovative therapeutic strategies.

Inhibition of STAT3: A promising approach to enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy in medulloblastoma.

Medulloblastoma is a type of brain cancer that primarily affects children. While chemotherapy has been shown to be effective in treating medulloblastoma, the development of chemotherapy resistance remains a challenge. One potential therapeutic approach is to selectively inhibit the inducible transcription factor called STAT3, which is known to play a crucial role in the survival and growth of tumor cells.
