Article Synopsis
  • Despite new treatments, small medicines like thiopurines (azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and thioguanine) are still really important for treating diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.
  • The article talks about how doctors should customize dosages of thiopurines using genetic testing to make sure patients get the right amount based on their unique genes.
  • It also mentions new research about genetics that could help doctors understand how people respond to thiopurines better in the future.

Molecular characterization analysis of PANoptosis-related genes in colorectal cancer based on bioinformatic analysis.

PLoS One

August 2024

Division of Gastroenterology, Institute of Digestive Disease, the Affiliated Qingyuan Hospital (Qingyuan People's Hospital), Guangzhou Medical University, Guang Dong, China.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally and stands as the second principal contributor to cancer-related fatalities. Recently, emerging research has emphasized the role of pan apoptosis (PANoptosis) in tumor development and anti-tumor therapy. In the course of this investigation, we meticulously identified and conducted a correlation analysis between differentially expressed genes associated with PANoptosis in CRC (CPAN_DEGs) and the proportion of immune cells.

Chemotherapy in pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG).

Childs Nerv Syst

October 2024

Division of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG) are commonly treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Recent trends prioritize reducing long-term morbidities, particularly in younger patients. While historically chemotherapy was reserved for cases progressing after radiotherapy, evolving recommendations now advocate for its early use, particularly in younger age groups.

6-Thioguanine inhibits severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus through suppression of EGR1.

Antiviral Res

July 2024

Center for Public Health Research, Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China; State Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China; Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Medicine, Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China. Electronic address:

The severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a novel phlebovirus, recently being officially renamed as Dabie bandavirus, and a causative agent for an emerging infectious disease associated with high fatality. Effective therapeutics and vaccines are lacking and disease pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated. In our effort to identify new SFTSV inhibitory molecules, 6-Thioguanine (6-TG) was found to potently inhibit SFTSV infection.

The emergence of new body technologies has led to the deconstruction of a cosmetically enhanced celebrity body into a bioinformational data-self, which becomes a surveilled subject quantified through biometric proximity. Evidently, the bodies of Indian Hindi film actresses evolve into material sites for the discursive encoding, bioinformational performativity and transference of disciplining hegemonic beauty ideals. In this age of information, the celebrity capital and postdigital positionality of celebrity bodies grant their bioinformational spectacular performance with a potential biologising affect for the further corporealisation of popular body aesthetics.
