Kaempferol exerts antioxidant effects in age?related diminished ovarian reserve by regulating the HSP90/NRF2 pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Kaempferol exerted antioxidant effects in AR-DOR by inhibiting Hsp90 to up-regulate Nrf2. In this study, 36 volunteers and 78 DOR patients (37 patients with EXD treatment) were enrolled in the clinical research. This study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of kaempferol in AR-DOR.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

For example, transcriptomic processes are showing the potential to identify and track failures in gene expression and gene regulation of amyloid and tau-related biomarkers, understood as precursors to the onset of Alzheimers disease (AD). A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological process, disease state, or response to a treatment.
