Curcumin activates the JNK signaling pathway to promote ferroptosis in colon cancer cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Curcumin modulates the gene and protein expression levels of ferroptosis mediators via JNK signaling. Ferroptosis, a new form of regulated cell death, plays a vital role in the pathogenesis and therapy of cancers. Curcumin suppressed SW-480 cancer cells viability in dose-dependent manner.

The Role of Oncology Biomarkers in Personalizing Hematology Treatment Plans

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

By: Simran Padam, Medical Director, Medical Affairs Personalized treatment approaches have emerged as pivotal in improving outcomes for hematological cancers. Hematological cancer cells can also develop resistance to therapies over time, reducing treatment effectiveness.

Ketamine produces antidepressant effects by inhibiting histone deacetylases and upregulating hippocampal BDNF levels in a DFP-based rat model of Gulf War Illness [Toxicology]

ASPET

We previously showed that epigenetic histone dysregulations were associated with decreased Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) expression in a GWI rat model. GWI has no effective therapies. Ketamine (KET) has recently been approved by the FDA for therapy-resistant depression. mg/kg s.c.,

Enhancing gene therapy with Circio

Drug Target Review

Secondly, circRNAs can be engineered for more efficient protein expression by carefully selecting and optimising the IRES element, a sequence motif derived from viruses and used to initiate cap-independent translation from circRNA. There are three major reasons for why Circio has selected AATD as its lead gene therapy program.

mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

The applications of mRNA-based therapies in cancer research represent one of the next groundbreaking steps toward improved cancer treatments. Adoptive T Cell therapies, therapeutic antibodies, and immunomodulatory proteins represent just some of the potentially beneficial treatment strategies for successful mRNA cancer trials.
