N-aryl-3-(indol-3-yl)propanamides were synthesized and their immunosuppressive activities were evaluated. This study highlighted the promising potency of 3-[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-N-(4-nitrophenyl)propanamide 15 which exhibited a significant inhibitory activity on murine splenocytes proliferation assay in vitro and on mice delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay in vivo.

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence is a major factor limiting long-time survival and the cause of most deaths in patients with HCC. However, molecular characterisation and potential therapeutic targets of recurrent HCC remain mostly unknown.
Approach And Results: We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 63 matched primary and recurrent HCC tumours and combined the data with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) results in 43 paired samples from our previous study.

Epilepsy affects at least 1% of the global population of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Data obtained from previous studies suggest the role of mTOR signaling in epileptogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that mTOR inhibitor sulfamethizole might produce antiepileptic effects in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced kindling seizures in mice.

Background: The cancer cell marker poliovirus receptor-like protein 4 (PVRL4) has been shown to be highly expressed in many cancers, including lung cancer. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a population of immature myeloid cells with immunosuppressive roles that can attenuate the anticancer response. Here, the precise functions and the relationship between PVRL4 and MDSCs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression were investigated.

Recently, new findings have been clarified concerning both pathogenesis and treatment of IgA nephritis. The four hits theory has been confirmed but several genetic wide association studies have allowed finding several genes connected with the pathogenesis of the disease. All these new genes apply to each of the four hits.

Rituximab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody medication used in treating various cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphomas as well as immunologic conditions like granulomatosis with polyangiitis. It disrupts and decreases the number of B-cells, which causes an immunosuppressive state. This can promote the growth of numerous rare and opportunistic pathogens, one of which is .
