The paradoxical activity of BRAF inhibitors: potential use in wound healing.

Arch Dermatol Res

Department of Translational & Clinical Research, School of Chemical and Life Sciences, Jamia Hamdard, Hamdard Nagar, New Delhi, 110062, India.

The area of wound healing presents a promising field of interest for clinicians as well as the scientific community. A major concern for physicians is the rising number of elderly people suffering from diabetes, leprosy, tuberculosis and the associated chronic wounds. While traditional therapies target basic wound care, innovative strategies that accelerate wound healing are needed.

Tumour cells possess a multitude of chemoresistance mechanisms, which could plausibly contribute to the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is an important effector protein associated with Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in various tumours. To some extent, the expression level of MGMT determines the sensitivity of cells to TMZ, but the mechanism of its expression regulation has not been fully elucidated.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7)-mediated type I interferon antiviral response is crucial for regulating the host following viral infection in chickens. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a double-stranded RNA virus that induces immune suppression and high mortality rates in chickens aged 3-6 weeks. Previous studies have shown that IBDV infection antagonizes the type I interferon production to facilitate viral replication in the cell, and IRF7 signaling might play an important role.

Research Progress of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment.

Drug Des Devel Ther

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent a novel class of hypoglycemic drugs that have emerged in recent years. These inhibitors function primarily by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, specifically targeting the SGLT2 proteins in the proximal convoluted tubules. This inhibition results in the reduction of blood glucose levels through increased glucose excretion in the urine.
