Introduction: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), leading to high cumulative doses in long-term treated patients. The impact of a high cumulative GC dose on the systemic inflammatory response in RA remains poorly understood.
Methods: We investigated long-treated patients with RA (n = 72, median disease duration 14 years) through blood counts and the serum levels of 92 inflammation-related proteins, and disease activity was assessed using the Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI).

Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products are one such factor that accumulates during aging and age-related diseases. However, how exogenous AGE compounds cause aging is an area that needs to be explored. Specifically, how an organ undergoes aging and aging-related phenomena that need further investigation.

Doxorubicin (DOXO) is a widely used anti-cancer agent, yet the precise mechanism underlying the induction of tumor cell death remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate new mechanisms by which doxorubicin induces apoptosis in the EMT6 mouse breast carcinoma cell line. The role of doxorubicin was assessed using the XTT assay.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype characterised by the absence of targetable hormone receptors and increased metastatic rates. As nuclear softening strongly contributes to TNBC's enhanced metastatic capacity, increasing the nuclear stiffness of TNBC cells may present a promising therapeutic avenue. Previous evidence has demonstrated the ability of Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) inhibition to induce cytoskeletal reorganisation, a key factor in regulating nuclear mechanics.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) stands as one of the most lethal cancers, marked by rapid progression, pronounced chemoresistance, and a complex network of genetic and epigenetic dysregulation. Within this challenging context, sirtuins, NAD-dependent deacetylases, have emerged as pivotal modulators of key cellular processes that drive pancreatic cancer progression. Each sirtuin contributes uniquely to PDAC pathogenesis.
