Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic disorder characterized by kidney fibrosis and extracellular matrix accumulation that can lead to end-stage kidney disease. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, inflammatory cytokines, the TGF-β pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, the Notch pathway, and the NF-κB pathway all play crucial roles in the progression of fibrosis. Current medications, such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, try to delay disease development but do not stop or reverse fibrosis.

Purpose: TP53 mutations are common in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We evaluated their clinical impact in patients treated with targeted agents or immunotherapy in the KCSG HN15-16 TRIUMPH trial.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with TP53 mutations in the TRIUMPH trial, a multicenter, biomarker-driven umbrella trial in Korea.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, deadly lung disease with several factors, including respiratory tract infections (RTI), for disease worsening. There's no comprehensive data on RTI incidence in IPF patients across different therapies, including antifibrotic (nintedanib or pirfenidone), investigative or placebo treatments.

Methods: A systematic search of databases Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Central, Web of Science and Scopus was conducted on September 30th 2024 (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023484213).

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrotic interstitial pneumonia, which is characterised by progressive worsening of dyspnoea and lung function. Nintedanib treatment is recommended to slow IPF disease progression. The aim of this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of nintedanib over 24 months in patients with IPF in a real-world setting in Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • - COVID-19 has caused around 7 million deaths from 2019 to 2022, emphasizing the urgent need for research into its mechanisms and treatment options.
  • - One major aspect of severe COVID-19 is the abnormal immune response, particularly the damaging cytokine storms, with recent studies highlighting the important role of the signaling molecule TGF-β in this process.
  • - The review discusses potential treatments that target TGF-β signaling, including specific drugs and ongoing clinical trials, aiming to improve outcomes for COVID-19 patients by reducing disease severity.
