Protective effect of naringin against radiation?induced heart disease in rats via Sirt1/NF??B signaling pathway and endoplasmic reticulum stress

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Sprague–Dawley (SD) rat heart was locally irradiated with 20 Gy absorbent dose x-ray, and 100 mg/kg naringin was given at the same time. Left ventricular function was measured, cardiac tissue pathological changes and myocardial collagen were detected by H&E and Masson staining, pro-inflammatory cytokine activity and lipid peroxidation-related indicators were detected by ELISA and biochemistry, and fibrosis-related proteins were detected by western blot.

The Most Engaging Decision You’ll Read All Year – Five Stars

FDA Law Blog: Biosimilars

By David B. Clissold & Sara W. Koblitz — You know a court decision is going to be worth reading when the judges compare FDA’s regulatory governance of flavored e-cigarettes to a Shakespearean gaslighting. To quote the Fifth Circuit: “It was the regulatory equivalent of Romeo sending Mercutio on a wild goose chase—and then admitting there never was a goose while denying he even suggested the chase.

ANKRD22 promotes M2 polarization in lung adenocarcinoma macrophages via the glycolytic pathway

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Abstract Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of lung cancer with a low 5-year survival rate. ANKRD22 is an ankyrin repeat protein capable of promoting tumor progression, and its mechanism in LUAD remains elusive. Our study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying the involvement of ANKRD22 in the progression of LUAD. The expression of ANKRD22 in LUAD and its enriched pathway were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis.

T-cell receptors offer window to the cell for a new class of cancer therapeutics

Drug Target Review

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting tumour-specific antigens play an essential role in the treatment of many cancers. In general, these agents work by binding to a molecular target on the surface of a tumour cell, and directing destruction of the target cell by chemical, radiological or immunological mechanisms. This approach has produced a broad range of approved and investigational products.
