Transplanted organs are inevitably exposed to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, which is known to cause graft dysfunction. Functional and structural changes that follow IR tissue injury are mediated by neutrophils through the production of oxygen-derived free radicals, as well as from degranulation which entails the release of proteases and other pro-inflammatory mediators. Neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) are believed to be the principal triggers of post-ischemic reperfusion damage.

Drug-Induced Liver Injury Associated With Emerging Cancer Therapies.

Liver Int

February 2025

Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, University Hospital Zürich, University of Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have shown great promise as best-in-class treatments for several cancers with respect to efficacy and safety. While liver test abnormalities are rather common in patients treated with kinase inhibitors or immunotherapy, events of severe hepatotoxicity in these patients are rare in comparison with those associated with chemotherapeutics. The underlying mechanisms and risk factors for severe hepatotoxicity with novel oncology therapies are not well understood, complicating the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risk assessment in the preclinical and clinical phases of drug development.

Liver fibrosis is still a serious health concern worldwide, and there is increasing interest in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with tremendous potential for treating this disease because of their regenerative and paracrine effects. Recently, many researches have focused on using the released exosomes (EXOs) from stem cells to treat liver fibrosis rather than using parent stem cells themselves. MSC-derived EXOs (MSC-EXOs) have demonstrated favourable outcomes similar to cell treatment in terms of regenerative, immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidant, anti-necroptotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic actions in several models of liver fibrosis.

Marine natural products as a source of novel anticancer drugs: an updated review (2019-2023).

Nat Prod Bioprospect

January 2025

International Research Center for Food Nutrition and Safety, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, 212013, China.

Marine natural products have long been recognized as a vast and diverse source of bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic applications, particularly in oncology. This review provides an updated overview of the significant advances made in the discovery and development of marine-derived anticancer drugs between 2019 and 2023. With a focus on recent research findings, the review explores the rich biodiversity of marine organisms, including sponges, corals, algae, and microorganisms, which have yielded numerous compounds exhibiting promising anticancer properties.

This study introduces EpiAgePublic, a new method to estimate biological age using only three specific sites on the gene known for its connection to aging. Unlike traditional methods that require complex and extensive data, our model uses a simpler approach that is well-suited for next-generation sequencing technology, which is a more advanced method of analyzing DNA methylation. This new model overcomes some of the common challenges found in older methods, such as errors due to sample quality and processing variations.
