Gynaecologists are becoming increasingly aware that women with a family history of prolapse are at an increased risk of prolapse refractory to treatment. In the past five years, several genetic mutations have been shown to correlate with increased prolapse susceptibility. These mutations can result in disordered collagen metabolism, which weaken the fascial support of the pelvic organs. This review examines the contemporary evidence regarding the role of collagen in prolapse.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disorder globally, causing a substantial and increasing socioeconomic burden. Kojic acid (KA) presented potential biological roles in regulating inflammation and autophagy, which was implicated in OA progression. However, its role in chondrocytes and OA has not been reported.

Platelets, which are vital for blood clotting and immunity, need to maintain a delicately balanced relationship between generation and destruction. Recent studies have highlighted that reactive oxygen species (ROS), which act as second messengers in crucial signaling pathways, are crucial players in this dance. This review explores the intricate connection between ROS and platelets, highlighting their dual nature.

Organ fibrosis, such as lung fibrosis and liver fibrosis, is a progressive and fatal disease. Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) play an important role in the development and progression of fibrosis. Through scaffold hopping, bioisosteric replacement design, and structure-activity relationship optimization, we developed a series of highly potent FGFRs inhibitors, and the indazole-containing candidate compound A16 showed potent kinase activity comparable to that of AZD4547.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases by promoting the acquisition of new functional traits by different cell types. Shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, including smoking, obesity, diabetes, high-fat diet, low physical activity, and alcohol consumption, contribute to inflammation linked to platelet activation. Platelets contribute to an inflammatory state by activating various normal cells, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and vascular cells.
