Long-lasting Control of LDL-Cholesterol Induces a Forty Percent Reduction in the Incidence of Cardiovascular Events: New Insights from a 7-year Study [Cardiovascular]

ASPET

Recent studies have yielded controversial results on the long-term effects of statin treatment on the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events. The incidence of first CV events was 6.0% Taken together, our data demonstrate that a 7-year stable control of LDL-C induces a forty percent reduction in the incidence of CV events.

Applications of engineered exosomes in drugging noncoding RNAs for cancer therapy

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Abstract Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are engaged in key cell biological and pathological events, and their expression alteration is connected to cancer progression both directly and indirectly. However, there are several limitations, including delivery, uptake, and short half-life, in the application of ncRNAs in cancer treatment.

Optimizing IFN alpha therapy against Myeloproliferative Neoplasms [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) are hematological malignancies that result from acquired driver mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), causing overproduction of blood cells and an increased risk of thrombo-hemorrhagic events. This study aims to determine a personalized treatment strategy.

Q&A: How a partnership between physicians and researchers aims to make cancer drugs safer

Broad Institute

For some patients, this treatment results in striking and long-lasting remission — but for a subset, it triggers complications ranging from mild rash to potentially deadly brain and heart inflammation. These are home-run, breakthrough therapies, and quite an amazing success story.

FDA Approves Duvystat, New Oral Treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

PLOS: DNA Science

FDA classifies it as a “nonsteroidal treatment” – not a gene therapy, but it affects gene expression. A gene-based treatment would have to alter many cells to exert a noticeable effect. Researchers have been working on developing gene therapy for DMD for decades. million DNA bases. Hyperbole or Hope?

A recent update on huprine and its hybrids as a potential multifunctional agent for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Some researchers proposed that the symptoms involved in AD (loss of memory, cognitive impairment, and amnesia) are the main event linked to the cholinergic neurotransmitter (acetylcholine). This review focuses on the last 10 year's literature search on huprine and its analogues for the treatment of AD.
