As one of the essential lignan derivative found in traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) was proved to promote women's health through its phytoestrogenic properties. Increasingly studies indicated that this compound could be a potential drug capable of preventing estrogen-related diseases. Here, we aimed to investigate whether SDG can counteract cyclophosphamide (CTX) induced premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and further explore its specific molecular mechanism.

Auranofin is a gold(I)-containing drug with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-amyloidogenic, and neuroprotective properties. The goal of the current study was to find out the neuroprotective effects of auranofin against cladribine-induced Aβ accumulation associated with AD-like symptoms in experimental rats.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the key drivers of tumorigenesis and relapse. A growing body of evidence reveals the tremendous power of CSCs to directly resist innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. The immunomodulatory property gives CSCs the ability to control the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

Background: Thymoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm originating from thymic epithelial cells, often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes can manifest as a range of autoimmune disorders, including myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia, and aplastic anemia. Clinical trials involving the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in thymoma have been complicated by a high incidence of immune-related adverse effects (irAEs).

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway exhibits great potential in remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and initiating antitumor immunity. However, how to effectively activate STING and avoid undesired toxicity after systemic administration remains challenging. Herein, platinum(IV)-backboned polymer prodrug-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles (DHP/MnONP) with pH/redox dual responsive properties are developed to precisely release cisplatin and Mn in the tumor microenvironment and synergistically amplify STING activation.
