Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet until now treatments for diabetes had only a modest impact on cardiovascular events. New interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (oral empagliflozin and injectable liraglutide) are associated with unprecedented reductions in composite cardiovascular outcomes that seem disproportionate to the impact on glycated hemoglobin. This review examines in detail the recent trials that arrived at these conclusions, limitations of these studies, and how these outcomes may influence patient management in the future.

Ischemia reperfusion-induced myocardial injury is a prominent pathological feature in patients with coronary artery disease, contributing to significant mortality and morbidity rates. Mangiferin (MGF), the main active ingredient extracted from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge, has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetes, and anti-tumor effects. The present study confirmed that the GAS6/Axl pathway was identified as a promising novel target for the treatment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury.

Background: Disease-modifying therapies targeting the diverse pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including neuroinflammation, represent potentially important and novel approaches. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity and has an established safety profile. Semaglutide may have a disease-modifying, neuroprotective effect in AD through multimodal mechanisms including neuroinflammatory, vascular, and other AD-related processes.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects over 77 million adults in India, with cases expected to reach 134 million by 2045. Current treatments, including sulfonylureas and thiazolidinediones, are inadequate, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigates marine natural products (MNPs) as alternative therapeutic agents targeting SIK2, a key enzyme involved in DM.
