Janus kinase family (JAKs) has recently attracted the attention of many researchers, and several JAK inhibitor drugs have been developed targeting different members of the JAK family. Tofacitinib and ruxolitinib are US FDA approved drugs in this family for rheumatoid arthritis and myeloproliferative diseases, respectively. Dysregulation of JAK/STAT pathway is also involved in many skin diseases, specifically inflammatory disorders. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway and its involvement in skin diseases are overviewed in this study. We also review clinical studies of JAK inhibitors in field of dermatology, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata and vitiligo. Although the available evidence shows promising results, it is still too early to draw a firm conclusion about the place of these drugs in dermatological treatment.

Erythroleukemia, a complex myeloproliferative disorder presenting as acute or chronic, is characterized by aberrant proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Although nootkatone, a sesquiterpene derived from grapefruit peel and Alaska yellow cedar, has shown anticancer activity predominantly in solid tumors, its effects in erythroleukemia remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nootkatone and its derivatives on erythroleukemia.

Background: The most common malignant type of kidney cancer is clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The expression levels of hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) in many tumor types are significantly elevated. HMMR is closely associated with tumor-related progression, treatment resistance, and poor prognosis, and has yet to be fully investigated in terms of its expression patterns and molecular mechanisms of action in ccRCC.

Background: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal haematopoietic disease, with median overall survival for patients with primary MF only 6.5 years. The most frequent gene mutation found in patients is JAK2, causing constitutive activation of the kinase and activation of downstream signalling.

Background: Vanadium (VAN) is a significant trace element, but its higher exposure is reported to cause severe organ toxicity. Tectochrysin (TEC) is a naturally derived flavonoid which demonstrates a wide range of pharmacological properties.
Aim: The current study was planned to assess the cardioprotective potential of TEC against VAN induced cardiotoxicity in rats via regulating biochemical, and histological profile.
